Product Information
Full details
This guide is for anyone looking to protect their floors and easily move furniture. The Diall Nail-In Glides offer a simple solution to prevent scratches and reduce noise when repositioning items. A potential limitation is that they are designed for furniture with legs that can accommodate a nail, and are best suited for static placement rather than frequent repositioning.

FAQs
How many glides are in a pack?
Each pack contains four glides.
What type of floor are these glides suitable for?
They are suitable for a variety of hard floor surfaces including wood, laminate, tile, and vinyl, to prevent scratches and aid movement.
Can these glides be used on carpet?
These glides are designed for hard surfaces and would not be effective or suitable for use on carpet.
Are these glides removable?
They are designed for permanent attachment via the nail. Removal may be possible but could damage the furniture leg or the floor.
What is the purpose of the grey color?
The grey color is a common aesthetic choice for such fittings and may blend with certain furniture styles or floor types.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
You will need a hammer for installation. No other special tools are typically required.
Troubleshooting
Glide is loose after installation
Remove the glide and re-nail it, ensuring the nail goes into the furniture leg securely. If the wood is damaged, consider a larger glide or a different fastening method.
Furniture still makes noise when moved
Ensure the glides are fully hammered in and level. Check for any debris caught under the glide or on the floor surface. Verify that all four glides are installed and making contact with the floor.
Difficulty hammering the nail
Ensure you are using a hammer and striking the nail head squarely. If the wood is very hard, you may need to pre-drill a small pilot hole, though this is usually not necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Effectively prevents floor scratches.
- Reduces noise during furniture movement.
- Assists in easier furniture repositioning.
- Simple and secure nail-in installation.
- Provides a cost-effective floor protection solution.
Cons
- Requires furniture legs suitable for nailing.
- Not ideal for very heavy furniture that is moved frequently.
- May require precise placement to ensure stability.
- The grey color may not match all furniture aesthetics.
- Nail-in design is permanent and can be difficult to remove.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install, simply position the furniture item so the leg is accessible. Place the nail-in glide against the bottom of the furniture leg, ensuring it is centered. Using a hammer, carefully tap the nail through the glide and into the furniture leg until it is securely fastened. Repeat for all legs.
Compatibility: These glides are compatible with furniture legs that have a solid base where a nail can be driven. They are best suited for flat-bottomed legs. Ensure the leg material is dense enough to accept the nail without splitting.
Care: No specific care is required for the glides themselves. However, regularly check that they remain securely attached to the furniture legs. If a glide becomes loose or damaged, it should be replaced to continue protecting your floor.
