Troubleshooting
Locker door is difficult to open or close
Check for any obstructions around the door frame or hinges. Ensure the locker is mounted straight and not under stress. Clean and lubricate hinges if necessary.
Gas cylinders seem loose inside
Verify that you are using the correct size cylinders (6kg propane or 7kg). Ensure the non-slip matting is correctly positioned. If using smaller cylinders, consider adding padding to prevent excessive movement.
Water or dust ingress
Inspect the rubber gasket around the door for any tears or damage. Ensure the door is closing completely and the seal is being made. Clean the gasket and mating surface on the locker body.
No ventilation detected
Confirm that the 57mm base hole for the drop vent is clear and unobstructed. Ensure no debris is blocking the vent opening.
