How to attach a screw-through glide foot to your sofa

How to attach a screw-through glide foot to your sofa

Step-by-step instructions for fitting our sofa glides

  • Flip the sofa on its side/back
    So you can access the base frame.
  • Position the glide
    • Place it where you want support (usually near corners or edges)
    • Slightly inset from the edge if you want it hidden
  • Mark the hole (optional but helpful)
    • Use a pencil through the centre hole
  • Pre-drill a small pilot hole (recommended)
    • Especially if the wood is hardwood
    • Prevents splitting
  • Drive a screw through the centre hole
    • Use a wood screw (not included)
    • Screw straight through the glide into the frame
  • Tighten until snug
    • Don’t overtighten, or you might crack the plastic

✔ Typical screw size: 20–30 mm long (depends on frame thickness)
✔ If your sofa base is thin plywood → use shorter screws
