ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION
INSTALL THE SHELVES
Insert the shelf support brackets into
the slots on the side of the locker at
the desired height. Make sure that all
four shelf support brackets are at an
equal height. Insert the shelf at an angle
slightly above the brackets and lay
down flat.
RAISE AND RELEASE
DRAWER FRONTS
These units are equipped with the raise
and release drawer front system.
To open, lift up on the drawer front while
pulling out towards you.
To close, shut the drawer firmly until the
latch engages.
If the drawer does not stay closed, the
drawer contents may be the obstruction,
or the hook may be slightly bent or it may
be rubbing up against the drawer slides. To
resolve this problem, lightly bend the hook
until the drawer engages in the slide.
TO REMOVE DRAWERS
Pull the drawer out so it is almost fully
extended. PUSH UP on the black release
lever on one side, while PULLING DOWN
on the black release lever on the other side.
While holding the levers in the positions as
instructed above, pull the drawer outward
until it is released from the drawer slide.
PUSH UP (ONE SIDE)
PULL DOWN (OTHER SIDE)
TO REPLACE DRAWERS
Extend the drawer slides from the tool
locker. Insert the brackets on each
side of the drawer into the slots in the
cabinet slides, being careful that they
are positioned properly. Once properly
inserted, completely close the drawer to
set the slides in their proper positions.

TO REVERSE
THE DOOR
The door is pre-installed with the hinge on
the left.
To install the door on the right, loosen the
screws on the hinge and remove the door
from the locker.
Turn the door upside down. Rotate the
locking bar so that the longer section is
on top and the shorter section is on the
bottom. Switch the tabs for the locking bar,
so that the top upper tab is near the top.
This is important to ensure that the lock is
secure.
Put the door into position and fasten the
screws on the hinge.
Install the hanger and connecting channel
on the left side of the locker.

MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY
MAINTENANCE
Lubricate the slides twice a year with a
product like WD40 or other quality lubricant.
This is especially important when the
temperature decreases, as the bearing can
become stiff.
Periodically clean the drawer fronts, drawer
trim, and other surfaces with mild detergent
and water.
Auto wax will preserve the storage unit’s
luster finish. Apply the wax as you would to
a car. The wax will also help protect the unit
against scratches.
Grease and oil can be removed with most
standard cleaning fluids. For safety, use a
nonflammable cleaning fluid.
