Troubleshooting
Drawer is difficult to open or close.
Check for obstructions inside the drawer or on the runners. Ensure the cabinet is level. If the lock is engaged, unlock the drawer.
Key will not turn in the lock.
Ensure the drawer is fully closed and aligned correctly. Try wiggling the key gently. If the key is lost or damaged, contact Phoenix Safe Co. for a replacement.
Water ingress after an incident.
While water-resistant, prolonged submersion can still affect contents. Ensure seals are clean and undamaged. For severe water events, consult professional document restoration services.
Cabinet appears unstable.
Verify the cabinet is on a level surface. Check that the weight is distributed evenly, especially if drawers are loaded asymmetrically.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Positioning: Carefully move the cabinet to its desired location. Despite using lightweight insulation, the cabinet is heavy (266 kg) and requires at least two people or appropriate lifting equipment.
- Placement: Ensure the cabinet is placed on a level surface. The design allows for use on most standard floors without special reinforcement.
- Loading Files: Adjust the internal rails to accommodate your required file sizes (Foolscap, A4, A5). Utilize the supplied compression plates to maximize space and prevent files from shifting.
- Locking Mechanism: Familiarize yourself with the flat key lock. Ensure each drawer can be independently locked or left unlocked as needed for access.
Compatibility:
- File Sizes: Compatible with Foolscap, A4, and A5 sized documents and files.
- Digital Media: Protects USB drives, memory sticks, and computer tapes (with optional FSDPI08).
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the paint finish.
- Lock Maintenance: Periodically check the lock mechanism. If the key becomes stiff, a small amount of graphite lubricant can be applied.
- Seals: Ensure the door seals remain clean and free from debris to maintain water resistance. Gently wipe with a damp cloth if necessary.
- Door Operation: Open and close drawers smoothly. Avoid slamming them to prolong the life of the runners and seals.
