Step 1
Your highly anticipated storage cabinet is here! Time to bring it to life—start by laying out the Top Front Stretcher (D) and the Top Back Stretcher (B) on a soft surface (a towel works great!)
Attach the Magnetic Push Latch (1) using the M3x15mm Screws (7) and then finish up this step by inserting the Ø8 × 30mm Wooden Dowels (2) in to the holes the ends of the Stretchers.
Step 2
Your hard work will all be worth it in the end! Locate the Bottom Back Stretcher (C) and the Bottom Panel (E). Attach the two parts together using the Ø8 × 30mm Wooden Dowels (2), the M4 x 35mm Screws (8), and a screwdriver.
Next, attach the Magnetic Door Catch (13) to the Bottom Panel (E) using the M3 x 15mm Screws (7).
Helpful Tip! Magnetic Door Catch can be adjusted front to back to solve for
Step 3
You’re just getting warmed up! Next, grab the Right Side Panel (A) and Left Side Panel (F). With your trusty screwdriver, secure the Cam Bolts (3) into each of the 6 corners.

How to use cam locks
Did you know?
Cam locks are used to join tw o panels together, usually the edge of one to the flat side of another.
First, your cam bolt (or cam pin) will need to be properly insert ed into the flat side of the board.
Import ant Note: Only tighten the cam bolt until it is secure. Do not over-tighten.
Next, you will fit the proper hole on the edge of the associated joining panel over the cam bolt.
Import ant Note: W hen installed properly, the head of the cam bolt will be visible through the larger hole on the side of the joining panel.
Next, you will notice the cam lock has a “C” shaped back. Commonly, an arrow on the front of the cam lock points in the same direction as the open sect ion on back.
Using these as your cues, insert the cam lock into the large hole so the opening of the “C” fits over the head of the cam bolt.
Using a screwdriver, you will turn the cam lock until it stops, usually between 130º or 180º. You will feel the panels pulling closer until they are secured.
Import ant Note: Only turn the cam lock until the panels are fully engaged & feel secure. Turning too far may lead to hardware failure.
Still having issues?
If a cam loc k seem s to be spinning in place or is not “catching” or pulling the pa nels together as expected , first rem ove th e cam loc k & tr y agai n whil e mak in g sure that everyt hin g is properly positoned & oriented .
If you are still having issues get ting things worki ng as expected, first re move the cam lock then unscre w th e cam bolt slightly (les s than 1 complete turn) to see if that helps with the alignment of the cam lock & bolt .
Next, slide the Top Back Stretcher (B) and the Top Front Stretcher (D) into place. Secure all three parts with the Cam Locks (4) and your trusty screwdriver—you’re really making this Step 4
It’s easier than it looks! Start by laying the Right Side Panel (A) flat on your soft surface. Attach the Bottom Panel (E) using the Ø1/4” × 30mm Hex Button Head Bolt (5), the Spring Washer Ø1/4” x 10mm (9), the Flat Washer Ø1/4” x 13mm (10), and the Allen Key (14).

Step 5
Grab the Left Side Panel (F) and attach it to your assembly from the previous step using the Ø1/4” × 30mm Hex Button Head Bolt (5), the Spring Washer Ø1/4” x 10mm (9), and the Flat Washer Ø1/4” x 13mm (10). Insert the Cam Locks (4) into their corresponding holes to lock everything in place. Now we’re really getting somewhere—you can finally see your storage cabinet taking shape!
This one’s a breeze! Unfold the Back Panel (G) and gently slide it into the grooves of your storage cabinet.
Groove
Tip: T he back panel needs to be inserted vertical ly into the groove in the si de panel.
Let’s top this off! (Pun absolutely intended). Locate the Top Panel (H) and use Wooden Dowels (2) to connect it to the cabinet. Secure it with the Ø1/4” × 30mm Hex Button Head Bolt (5), the Spring Washer Ø1/4” x 10mm (9), the Flat Washer Ø1/4” x 13mm (10), and the Allen Key (14). For now, only tighten to about 30%—we’ll revisit this soon! Step 7
Tip: The back panel needs to be inserted vertically into the groove in the side panel
Do NOT overtighten hardware. Tighten only to 30% for now.
Time to attach the first door! Slide the Plastic Sleeve Washers (11) over the pin hinges, then grab the Right Door (I) and carefully slide it into place on the cabinet. You’ll need to lift the Top Panel slightly to fit it in. Make sure the Magnetic Catch Plate is facing inside the cabinet. Step 8

Step 9
Now, let’s do the same for the Left Door (K)! Repeat the previous step, sliding the door into place and ensuring the Magnetic Catch Plate is facing inside the cabinet. You’re almost there—just a few more steps to go!
Step 9 cont.
Now let’s circle back and tighten those screws underneath the top of the cabinet to 100%. This will lock everything in place and give your cabinet the sturdy finish it deserves!
Grab the Ø1/4” x 55mm Hex Button Head Bolt (6), Spring Washer Ø1/4” x 10mm (9), Flat Washer Ø1/4” x 13mm (10), and the Allen Key (14). Use them to give your cabinet some extra stability—this step helps keep everything solid and secure!
Now, let’s repeat the process for the screws on the back of the cabinet. Tighten them to 100% to ensure everything is locked in place.
Open up those cabinet doors and insert the Shelf Pins (12) at your preferred height. Once they’re in place, slide the Shelf (L) right on top. Customize the height to fit your needs—you’re almost done! Step 12
Step 13
If your cabinet feels a bit wobbly or uneven, don’t worry! You can easily fix this by adjusting the feet to balance everything out. A quick tweak, and your cabinet will be perfectly level and steady.
HELPFUL TIP: Adjust feet to balance cabinet
Is
your
c abinet
door looking crooked or unevenly spaced?
If you’re still having trouble lining ever y thing up, your next step should be to try to adjust the feet slightly to square up the cabinet and doors. Follow the instructions below:
If the right door appears to be hanging low, you can adjust the adjustable leveler on the front right until the door is bett er aligned.
If the left door appears to be hanging low, you can adjust the adjustable leveler on the front left until the door is bett er aligned.
