Troubleshooting
Cabinet door not closing correctly
Ensure the hinges are correctly aligned and secured. Check that no obstructions are in the door's path. The cabinet itself must be level and stable; adjust the legs if necessary.
Cam locks are not tightening
Verify that the dowels are fully inserted into their respective holes and that the cam lock is properly seated before attempting to turn it. Ensure you are using the correct size screwdriver.
The cabinet feels wobbly
Check that all cam locks are fully tightened. Ensure the back panel is securely attached. Adjust the 150mm legs to ensure the cabinet is firmly planted on the floor and level.
Wood glue application is messy
Use a small brush or the applicator provided with the glue for precise application. Wipe away any excess glue immediately with a damp cloth before it dries.
