Hey Gang! In our last cabinet install video, we got a ton of comments telling us about the EZ Level Cabinet Leveling system, so we decided to order some and try them out! There's a lot more to factor in here than just price, so make sure you watch the whole thing to decide if you could benefit from the ease of the EZ Level! We're definitely new fans and going forward we can't see using shims as our main method anymore. Thanks for watching and we'll see ya on the next one!

Oh my gosh... I just want to THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting the most incredible video of the EZ-Level's ever! Of course I'm very grateful that the review was awesome but the WAY you did it was incredible! Jordan, if you are the one who shot and edited the video, you are a genius! I know, because I create all of our own videos... and Paul, the way you explain things... wow! Perfect angles... Explained with clarity... Your post was such a Blessing to us all! We are a family owned and operated company and frankly have spend the last 5 days trying to catch up with all the orders that have come in thanks to you! My employees and my wife and I, were literally crying last night as we were all watching it. (We heard about it earlier this week, but didn't get a chance to really watch it until last night, because we have ALL been in the shipping department this entire week shipping crazy big orders out)! Frankly, I don't know what to say, but thank you! God Bless you and your son Brooks

Love the small buisness care, im happy others like me exist and support that to the end. As a designer, artist, and contractor, Id like to respectfully offer some feedback hopefully you'll find constructive. Only 3 of these are needed to make a plane and level a row. The others can be a simple support dropped by gravity and locked into place. Would lower cost overall per row and speed the whole process. Countersink the bottom screws. Id love to see this built in high end cabinets. Keep on keepin' on. Dont stop, there is plenty of innovation to be made, time is money, save us both & You cant lose.

For a DIY guy who may only ever level cabinets one time, these things were an absolute dream come true. I watched KZfaq video after KZfaq video on shimming with wood shims, and I was dreading the job and the frustration. With no experience I knew that only after a bunch of swearing, sweating, and wasting time would I begin to feel remotely comfortable with it, and probably around about the time the job was finished. When I found the EZ Level online and watched their videos, it immediately made far more sense to me. Why spend the time becoming proficient at using wood shims for what might be my one and only cabinet leveling project, when the EZ Level system is so incredibly easy? Like others have mentioned here, our granite installers also asked who installed the cabinets. They said it was the first install they've had in a long time where they didn't have to shim the countertops. That, on my very first cabinet install. Great product, and absolutely zero buyer's remorse.

Just build a separate level kick base first. Then set the kickless boxes on the level base. There is no denying that this is the best system. There is also no denying that using wood shims, especially at the back of the cabinets really sucks.

We did for years (like most installers), but what a time suk! First you have to acquire the materials (lumber)... then layout and build it... then "level" it... the carefully set the cabinets onto the new base... then fasten them. Really? With the EZ's, we simply install them (15 minutes)... the level them (5-8 minutes). Done. Perfect. Waterproof. Stays put.

Shims are by far the fastest and easiest way to level base cabinets. I've used this method as a kitchen installer for 47 years. It's simple and foolproof and will work as easily on a run of 2 cabinets or a run of 10 cabinets. Use 2 shims stacked together in opposing directions. Place them on the sides of the cabinet under the corner of the cabinet where needed. Use a small pry bar to just take the weight of the cabinet off the shims and it’s easy to raise and lower the corner of the cabinet to the desired height by sliding the shims back and forth along their length. Repeat on all four corners of the cabinet as necessary to level it. When you place the next cabinet in the run it will sit on the ends of the shims protruding from the first cabinet. That automatically sets it the same height as the first cabinet. Shim the other side of the second cabinet to level it and fasten it to the first. Then just continue in the same manner along the entire run of cabinets. The only shims that will need to be trimmed are the ones at the ends of the run.

Hey guys, outstanding as always. Because cabinetry boxes are constructed dead-on sized, I usually lay in the back shims set dead-on to my reference line, then lay the boxes in on top, adjusting the accessible fronts. Also by sharing shims (resting joining boxes on the same shims) it easily assists the set up. Great innovative ideas but these could get a little costly are large builds. I usually buy an under coarse bundle and three songs on the radio and I've split half a pack into 3" shims. Thanks, you guys kick ass.

I've been seeing suspended cabinets a few inches off the floor. No toe kick. Bolted to the wall. If the sink or dishwasher floods the kitchen, you have about 5 inches before the cabinet is sitting in water. It takes a bit of blocking pre-installed behind the drywall so you can be certain of hitting something solid with any screw, rather than hunting for studs. The tiny space of EZ-Level lets dirt in, but no access to clean under. The suspended cabinets, you can get under to clean. I like clean.

In Australia we have either cheap plastic threaded legs that we wind up and down to level then screw a kick front to cover them. Or a seperate kick frame and cabinet system where the kick frames are scribed to the floor then cabinets places ontop Or a french cleat system of screwing a rail to the wall and hanging cabinets Largely most cabinetmakers/installers use the kick frame system. But there is often a combination of systems too.

I used for both our kitchen remodel and, most recently, on my daughters. Her countertop installer wanted to know the name of her professional installer. The cabinets were dead level. He couldnt recall if/when he had come onto a job this good. Also, the folks helped her source the right ones. Customer service is tops. I wont volunteer to do an install without them. Too easy.😊

It is awesome that you are doing a video on the EZ-Level system. I just purchased a complete set for a 24 inch cabinet and a complete set for a 21 inch cabinet as a test bed to see if I want to use this system for my new Custom kitchen cabinets build. These will be used for the custom cabinets I am building for 2 of my restrooms. I am in the process of squaring up and leveling the restrooms walls. along with the tub walls in one bath. My drywall guy is not too hapopy as he has to wait for me at the moment but when it is all said and done he will be a happy guy. At 16.50 per set and if you provide the company your Contractor lic you can get contractor price and or whole sale. What I like about this system is it will work with ladder bases too for cabinets. their customer service was very responsive to my inquiry before order and sent me a follow up after my purchase to see if I was satisfied with the product.

Similar to what we use in retail construction. Building gondolas has leveling feet attached so makes leveling and shelves fit much easier.

European cabinets have had leveling feet as standard features for at least 30 years that I know. In the U.S. we just refuse to use them. Not sure how i could justify the cost as a professional contractor. You're videos are extremely helpful to many DIYers and pros alike. (Myself included) keep up the great work fellas.

Used these over a decade ago in a large kitchen. Granite installers said it was the most level kitchen counters they'd ever seen. It was great for them too.

Thanks for the demo! I have seen these for a while now and had considered the cost vs time? After years of setting cabinets i have a maybe a different approach to setting base's than you. I only buy "cedar shims" and if i went through a whole bundle on and install??? that kitchen would be a horror show. But I also do not always shim UP. Typically most kitchens that are significantly out half gets shimmed up and the other half gets planned down. This has a lot to do with design variables ( to numerous to discuss hear ) but in a nut shell any visible exposed end I want touching the floor ( I am not a "SHOE" fan and is not typical in my area, especially around my toekick ) So "frustration Levels" are manageable only because it has become part of the job. I certainly see the time benefit the same as the expense vs. time when using "Schluter" products. Cheers

EEZ Level has been around for awhile. The more you use them the the quicker it will get. Bath utility room cabinets are easily done with this system. Just figure the cost and add it to the bid. No stress and you’ll save so much time.

These for sure seem pretty slick, though expensive, esp in CAD.. and cross border ordering. FWIW- I always set the first cabinet and then the others to that one. Two crossed shims like you do installing doors leaves a platform for the next cabinet.. also ez pz.
