Troubleshooting
Hatch is difficult to open
Gently try to slide or lift the hatch. If it feels stuck, check for any small objects or debris obstructing it. Do not force it, as this could damage the mechanism.
Paint chipping or scratching
If minor chips occur, touch up with non-toxic paint suitable for wood, if desired. For scratches, a clear wood sealant can sometimes help minimize their appearance. Avoid rough play.
Moneybox feels unstable
Ensure the moneybox is placed on a perfectly flat and stable surface. Check that the underside hatch is fully closed and not protruding, which could cause it to wobble.
