Push button latch is stiff or not engaging
Clean the latch mechanism and check for any debris. Lubricate lightly if necessary, ensuring not to get lubricant on the finished surface.
Cabinet feels loose after installation
Re-check all fixings and ensure they are tightened securely into the mounting surface. If mounting directly into panels, consider using stronger anchors or reinforcing the mounting points.
