Desk-height tambour door cabinet
A workstation may include a desk-height tambour door
cabinet either 72 or 74 cm high (average table height)
(fig. 1).
Keys
Tambour door cabinets are supplied with two keys, one
of which has a hinged plastic grip. The number on the
key to the tambour door cabinet corresponds to the
number on the cylinder of the lock. You will need to
quote this number when re-ordering keys. The whole
cylinder of the lock, with key, can also easily be replaced
so that the unit can be locked (and unlocked) with a
different key. For details of changing the cylinder, see
'drawer pedestals' on the previous page.
Levelling
Tambour door cabinets must be levelled by hand or with
an Ahrend levelling spanner in order for the tambour
door and the pull-out frames to work properly.
Unlocking the unit
Insert the key into the lock and turn
it a half turn to the right. The key
can be left in the lock or removed.

Maximum loads
A tambour door cabinet is capable of carrying a maxi-
mum load of 39 kg distributed evenly over the top.
The maximum permissible weights in or on interior
accessories are well in excess of the minimum
requirement in DIN 68874.
A shelf in an 80 cm wide tambour door cabinet is capa-
ble of carrying a maximum load of 39 kg distributed
evenly; a suspension file shelf can hold 78 kg, and a
suspension file frame or pull-out tray no more than
40 kg.
This means that nobody may stand or sit on the
cabinet, shelves or pulled-out suspension file frames.
You can then open the tambour
door by sliding it all the way
to the right with the aid of the
vertical handle.
You can now pull out the suspen-
sion file frames or pull-out trays
you want with the aid of the
handle.

Closing
All suspension file frames must be
pushed all the way back into the
cabinet before the door can be slid
to the left and closed. Insert the key
in the lock and turn it a half turn to
the left. The key can now be
removed.

Levelling
The height of the cabinet can be
adjusted by approximately 15 mm
using the adjustable foot under
each corner of the cabinet.
You can do this by hand or with the
cabinet levelling spanner.
Turning the adjustable foot clock-
wise will raise the cabinet.
Moving
Before moving the cabinet, remove
all the items stored in it.
The door must always be fully open
when the cabinet is moved.
Tape the door and all the interior
accessories firmly with removals
tape.
