How do you close a stuck open dining table?

1. Identify the type of table you have. There are two main types of dining tables: drop-leaf tables and trestle tables. Drop-leaf tables have leaves that fold down, while trestle tables have a separate base that supports the tabletop.

2. Locate the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism for a drop-leaf table is usually located on the underside of the tabletop. It may be a simple latch or a more complex mechanism. The locking mechanism for a trestle table is usually located on the base of the table.

3. Release the locking mechanism. Once you have located the locking mechanism, you will need to release it. This may be as simple as flipping a latch or turning a knob.

4. Close the table. Once the locking mechanism is released, you should be able to close the table by pushing the leaves down or by folding them in.

5. Lock the table in place. Once the table is closed, you will need to lock the locking mechanism in place to prevent the table from opening again.

If you are unable to close the table on your own, you may need to contact a professional for assistance.
