Solución de problemas

Problem: Doors do not close or latch properly.

Solución: Check the alignment of the door frame and the latch mechanism. Ensure the cage is assembled squarely. Minor adjustments to the door's position or the latch can often resolve this. If a door feels loose, consider adding small bumper pads to improve fit.

Problem: Difficulty fitting parts together during assembly.

Solución: Ensure all parts are oriented correctly according to the instructions. Sometimes, a gentle tap with a rubber mallet (or a hammer with a cloth) can help align stubborn connections. Do not fully tighten all screws until the entire frame is loosely assembled to allow for minor adjustments.

Problem: Cage feels unstable or wobbly.

Solución: Verify that all screws and bolts are fully tightened. Ensure the cage is placed on a flat, level surface. Check that all caster wheels are locked when the cage is stationary.

Problem: Presence of metal shavings after unpacking.

Solución: Before introducing pets, thoroughly inspect and clean all cage components to remove any residual metal shavings or debris. Use a vacuum cleaner and a damp cloth. This is crucial for pet safety.
