Installing Cabinet Carcass on Uneven Floors

Using the knock-in legs, scribing, and getting dead-level across a whole kitchen.

Video walkthrough. 7:09

In this tutorial

Real-world floors aren’t level. Our knock-in adjustable legs are rated 350kg and can compensate for up to 40mm of rise across a run. If you install them properly. Here’s how.

The checklist

Fit the legs before you stand the cabinet up
Start from the highest point of the floor and work down
Level each cabinet individually before joining them together
Use the built-in spirit level on the toe-kick face for sanity checks
Scribe kicker boards to the floor line with a compass scribe
Fix cabinets to each other first, then to the wall at stud height

Pro tip
