Is there a trick to engage the self closing mechanism? Installed out of the box, it does not appear that they self close.

I bought 50 sets and all of them were easily self-closing. Are you sure you ordered the self-closing style? There is one that LOOKS just like this one and isn't self-closing, although I don't know why anyone would want it. Other than that, they may have sent you the wrong thing.

It's not a soft close like you see on new cabinets. It's more of a "snap" when you start to close it. The hinge will snap shut the last few inches

The self close feature only works with the door barely open. This then prevents you from leaving a cabinet door partially cracked open. Open the cabinet door an inch or 2 and let go, the door should swing fully closed if everything is lined up correctly.

I'm not sure what your problem is ... these units basically open themselves. I comes as a couple of round loops that you separate and the unit will spring open. You then just have to spread the unit out and it will stand up. If the unit does not act this way there may be a problem with the unit itself. If you need any more help check out a video on Rukket's website or Youtube which will show you how it sets up and take down.

?that's strange.. mine have never done that...and this is my second one. Is it locked in before you turn it on...you should hear a click when you put them in place....sorry I don't know any better answer. I can only guess that it has something to do with the latching mechanism.

Mine all lined up flush. Check if a screw is sticking out too far that is stopping them from sliding all the way in. I had one that stuck out just enough that it stopped it from closing all the way but once tightened down more it was flush.

Mine did this after some use. Here's what I did. Open the door all the way and use pliers to move that flimsy hinge at the bottom slightly to the right. Gently. It's really of poor quality. Now the door closes all the way. Clever me.

The drawers do not close automatically by themselves, they are not spring loaded. The self closing feature means that after you slide the drawer closed it will not "bounce back" and stay open for an inch or so. This is accomplished by designing a slight decline in the final inch or so of the track. Gravity forces the drawer to pull slightly toward the cabinet face and forcing a full closure.

I have no problems with this, but there are two ways to open/close the door. One is manually on top of the unit, and the other is by remote control. You may narrow down the problem by seeing if one or both of these methods don't work.

Take it apart push the open/close button once then put back together. It has features where the internal part that the back plate connects to is protected against forceful opening. Also make sure that piece is tightened. It connects via phillips screw and should be hand tight and lined up in the right position. Sounds like you have it backwards.

I'm not sure what you're asking- the laptop doesn't snap shut, or one of the case pieces doesn't snap in place? I had a little difficulty putting my bottom piece on. My solution was holding one corner in place and run my other hand along the front and sides, then used both hands to snap in the vent area. Hope that helps!

It sounds as if it is defective. The should "snap back" automatically and you should be able to test them occasionally to make sure they are in working order in case they would have to be used in a real emergency.

Use a pair of pliers and gently twist the knock-outs. They are scored so they'll snap off. The cover should close all the way and latch after you close it.

I initially thought it was stuck in the closed position, a defect. It was very difficult at first, but you need to turn it to the open position. Now it opens and closes easily.

If anything, I have difficulty removing them. Once they snap/click into place, they're in there really tightly. Make sure you push them in well. When I first got mine I thought I had them in all the way, but didn't, and they fell out. You'll feel them click into place.

I have changed them out several times in the intervening months. A friend came to my rescue and simply got them to click in by placing them a little further back and the pressing on them harder than I had been willing to push. Bingo, it worked and has worked ever since.Good luck.

I did not have this problem. It sounds to me that one of these things is likely: 1. You installed it wrong and you need to take it apart to reinstall. 2. Manufacturer defect. Hopefully you did not close the door and end up on the outside, because then you will have to try sliding something in between the door to push the lock out of the way. It will move even if the door is locked.

It is a little tricky but mine opens and closes. After inspecting it I see that as you may suspect, turning the handle right tightens it and left loosens it. Yours must be initially stuck. I bet if you can get it to open once you won't have any trouble the next time. ;)

There should be a button sticking out of the top step (front left). Just push that down and push the steps and it'll easily close. Hope that helps.
