Troubleshooting
Drawer is stiff or difficult to open/close
Check for obstructions in the drawer slides. Ensure the topchest is on a level surface. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the ball-bearing slides.
Lock is difficult to operate
Ensure the correct key is being used and is fully inserted. Clean the lock cylinder with compressed air and apply a graphite-based lubricant specifically designed for locks.
Drawers do not close fully
Verify that items inside the drawer are not preventing it from closing. Check if the topchest is on a level surface, as a slight tilt can cause drawers to drift.
Carry handles feel loose
Inspect the mounting points of the handles for any visible damage. Ensure any retaining bolts or screws are tightened securely, but do not overtighten.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Care:
To maintain the performance and appearance of your topchest:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior and interior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which could damage the finish. For stubborn grease or grime, use a mild detergent mixed with water, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
- Lubrication: Periodically, a light application of silicone lubricant can be applied to the ball-bearing drawer slides to ensure continued smooth operation. Ensure the lubricant is suitable for metal slides.
- Lock Maintenance: Keep the cylinder lock clean and dry. If the key becomes difficult to insert or turn, a small amount of graphite lubricant can be used.
- Drawer Slides: Ensure no debris obstructs the ball-bearing channels. Periodically check for any signs of wear or damage.
