Using this Bradley toilet paper dispenser is easy. First, open the door with the provided key. Place two standard core, 5.25-inch diameter toilet tissue rolls on the non-removable polyethylene spindles. Then, close the door and lock it. When it's time to empty the waste receptacle, simply unlock the door and take out the trash. For maintenance, regularly wipe the stainless steel surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to keep them clean and shiny. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the satin finish. Also, check the lock and hinge periodically to make sure they are working properly.
