Troubleshooting
Drawer not closing smoothly or sticking
Check for obstructions inside the drawer or on the slides. Ensure the tool chest is on a level surface. Lightly lubricate the ball-bearing slides.
Power strip not providing power
Verify that the power strip is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check the circuit breaker if necessary. Ensure the tool chest itself is not blocking access to the outlet.
Lock mechanism difficult to operate
Ensure the correct key is being used and is fully inserted. Clean any debris from the keyhole. Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant.
USB ports not charging devices
Confirm the tool chest is powered via the main power strip. Try a different USB cable or device to rule out cable/device issues. Ensure the device is compatible with 5V 2.4A charging.

- Lubrication: Periodically, apply a light silicone-based lubricant to the ball-bearing slides if they become stiff, to maintain smooth operation.
- Lock Maintenance: Keep the keyholes clear of debris. Use a graphite lubricant if the locks become difficult to operate.
