Tips & safety

  • Always fix SKRUVBY to the wall. Furniture tip-over can cause serious or fatal crushing injuries. Use the included fittings with plugs and screws that suit your wall.
  • Doors not lined up? Turn the hinge screws to move each door sideways, in/out or up/down — see the manual, p. 30.
  • Keep heavy things low. Never put a TV or other heavy objects on top, and don’t let children climb or hang on the doors or shelves.
