What if the door on my collectors cabinet rubs at the bottom?

Since the door has a wood frame with very heavy glass, it is possible that the door may rub although the case may be square as measured using a carpenter level. If the door rubs, it is necessary to adjust the floor levelers at the bottom of the cabinet.

  • First, remove the collectibles from the cabinet.
  • Release the pressure from the front of the cabinet and screw the right-front leveler out approximately one full turn. Do not adjust the left front leveler at this time.
  • Allow the cabinet to settle into the foundation.
  • Continue to adjust the right-front leveler out to the point where the left-front leveler does not fit snug on the floor.
  • Allow the cabinet to settle into the foundation and adjust the two rear levelers and then the left-front out such that the cabinet does not wobble. On a soft foundation, settling of the cabinet into the foundation will provide a snug fit of all levelers over time.
  • Make further find adjustments to ensure that the cabinet is not leaning forward or wobbling.
  • Recheck the shelf clips and shelf location on all clips. As desired, place collectibles into the cabinet.
  • Allow the cabinet to set a minimum of two weeks before further fine adjustments. As necessary after two weeks, repeat the steps above.

How do you recommend that I clean and maintain my collectors cabinet?

  1. Wax and polish your cabinet as frequently as you would other fine furniture. Use a good furniture polish or past wax. Apply the polish to a soft cloth – do not spray or apply directly to the case. Do not use a silicone-based product.
  2. Use extreme caution when cleaning the glass. Use a quality liquid non-ammonia glass cleaner. Apply the glass cleaner to a soft cloth – do not spray or apply directly to the glass.
