FAQs
What is the maximum weight each leg can support?
Each hairpin leg is designed to support a maximum weight of 300kg.
Do I need to buy screws separately?
No, a free screw pack containing 16 x 20mm screws is included with every set of 4 legs.
How does the Ski-Glide technology work?
The Ski-Glide technology uses special polymer discs on the bottom of the legs that allow furniture to glide effortlessly across floors, minimizing friction and protecting surfaces.
Are these legs suitable for outdoor furniture?
The powder-coated black finish offers resistance to corrosion and fading, making them suitable for some outdoor applications, but prolonged exposure to harsh weather is not recommended without additional protective measures.
Can I use these legs on a carpeted surface?
The Ski-Glide technology is primarily designed for hard floors. While they might offer some ease of movement on low-pile carpets, their effectiveness is greatly reduced. The protector feet will help prevent snagging.
What is the steel thickness of these legs?
The steel thickness for these hairpin legs is 12mm.
How many legs come in a pack?
Each pack contains 4 hairpin legs.
Troubleshooting
Legs wobble after installation
Ensure all screws are tightened securely. Check that the furniture surface is level and the legs are positioned evenly. Verify that the hairpin legs are the correct size and prong count for the weight and size of the furniture.
Ski-Glide discs are not sliding smoothly
Clean the polymer discs with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris. Ensure there are no obstructions or damage to the discs. The surface being moved across should be relatively smooth for optimal performance.
Screws do not seem to fit
Confirm you are using the provided 20mm screws. Ensure the pre-drilled holes in your furniture are adequately sized for the screws. If using a very dense wood, pre-drilling pilot holes slightly smaller than the screw diameter may be necessary.
Protector feet detach easily
Ensure the protector feet are fully clipped onto the bottom of each leg. If they feel loose, check for any deformation of the leg's end or the feet themselves. Ensure you are using the correct size feet for the leg diameter.
