Cabinet foot installation determines whether the cabinet sits level, remains stable, and performs reliably over its service life. Proper technique at installation prevents the most common problems—rocking cabinets, misaligned doors, and gradual settling.

| Power drill | Installing mounting hardware |
| Wrench/screwdriver | Adjusting feet |
| Marker | Marking foot positions |
Installation Steps
Step 1: Preparation
- Measure floor variation across the full cabinet footprint
- Determine highest point (reference for leveling)
- Set all feet to mid-range height initially
Step 2: Positioning
- Place feet at each corner of the cabinet base
- Additional feet at maximum 500mm intervals for long cabinets
- Feet should be perpendicular to the cabinet base
Step 3: Securing
- Attach feet using provided hardware
- Ensure feet are fully seated in mounting locations
- Verify all feet are properly aligned
Step 4: Leveling
- Position cabinet in final location
- Check level front-to-back and side-to-side
- Adjust feet as needed, starting from the highest corner
Step 5: Locking
- Tighten lock nuts after final leveling
- Verify no movement in the adjusted position
- Re-check level after 24 hours
Common Installation Mistakes
| Mistake | Consequence | Prevention |
| Starting from lowest point | Cannot lower high corners | Start from highest point |
| Not checking both directions | Cabinet level only in one axis | Check front-back AND side-side |
| Skipping lock nuts | Feet drift over time | Always lock after adjustment |
| Insufficient foot count | Overloaded feet, instability | Follow manufacturer spacing |
