Troubleshooting

Cabinet door not aligning correctly

Adjust the hinge screws for vertical, horizontal, and depth alignment. Ensure the cabinet itself is level using the adjustable legs.

Hinges are squeaking

Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the hinge pivot points. Do not use oil-based lubricants which can attract dust.

Cam locks are not tightening securely

Ensure the cam dowels are fully inserted into their holes and that the cam lock is oriented correctly before turning. Do not overtighten.

Cabinet is wobbly or unstable

Ensure all cam locks are fully tightened. Adjust the leveling legs until the cabinet is stable and firmly on the floor.

Difficulty attaching the door

Double-check that the hinges are correctly mounted to both the door and the cabinet frame according to the instructions. Verify the door is oriented for the correct side.
