Troubleshooting

Ensure all panels are securely clicked together. Adjust the 150 mm legs to make the unit perfectly level on the floor. Check that the legs are fully tightened.

Verify that the drawers are correctly aligned with their runners. Check for any obstructions within the drawer cavity or on the runners. Ensure the unit itself is level.
Glue is not holding panels together.
Ensure you are using the correct type of glue recommended by Kitchen Kit. Make sure the surfaces are clean and dry before applying glue. Press panels firmly together and allow adequate curing time.
