Troubleshooting
Tray does not slide smoothly
Ensure the slider tracks are parallel and free of debris. Check that the keyboard tray is not catching on anything underneath the desk.
C-clamps are not holding securely
Verify that the desk thickness does not exceed 1.75 inches. Ensure the clamp screws are tightened firmly by hand. Clean the desk edge and clamp contact points for better grip.
Rails seem loose on the desk
Re-tighten the C-clamps. Check if the desk surface is uneven or has a lip that prevents a flush fit.
Damage to desk surface
Ensure the anti-skid padding on the C-clamps is present and clean. Avoid over-tightening the clamps.
