Do these screws reach down through carpet and padding?

Yes they reach down thru carpet and padding, to go into the floor joists (must locate the floor joist first). There is a tool that came with the screw set, that I ordered. After you get the screws as far into the joist as it will go. Then you use the tool to pop the heads off the screws, which is the way they are designed. When we walk on our carpet we can not tell the screws are in there, but no more squeaks. Please read all the directions, that come with the set, before you start. Hope this helps.

Yes, in my case. They are quite long, but when snapped off according to instructions, you can't feel them at all, not even barefoot. Significantly improved the creaking.

Yes, but if you have a tongue & grove plywood floor the squeegees could be coming from the t&g; joint which will require you to go under the floor and find the joint and shore it up with a 2x4.

Based on my experience using this product, the screws will reach down through the carpet and padding. However, because after breaking the screw head off (at the scoring mark) the floor still does not remain squeak free. Perhaps it is because there is nothing to hold the floor down in place (like a nail/screw head); leaving the flooring loose as before. Additionally, I hope the screws do not work up (out of the floor) and cause a problem under my carpet.In my opinion and based on my experience, and unless you want to place a lot of screws and holes in your floor; safe your money!!!

There are grooves on the undersurface and they fit into that, they do not necessarily lock into place. They set in the grooves

I would run screws through the carpet and into the flooring. I installed it on a tiled floor and screwed it down, as it was slipping slightly. It may not slip on carpet without the screws, but I feel safer for the user with it screwed down.

Yes they do but they didn't fit very well. Very difficult to screw on tight enough to the drawer.

If you have carpet pad and plywood above the stud, I think there is little chance of getting through all that. You might want to try a magnetic stud finder and follow existing nail patterns to find studs.

Not really. These are meant for temporary use to move furniture. They're not designed to protect carpet. These would be noticeable and ugly because they're too big. They have curved white plastic bottoms about 1/4" thick with about 3/8" black foam glued on top. The furniture sits in the foam to keep it from moving on the pads.

They are on my sofa right now and I can't get underneath the sofa feet to measure them but am guessing a little less than 1/4" thick by looking at them. They work great! I have tile floors and my other sectional use to slide all over the place. Then I purchased a new sectional, put these on and it doesn't budge. Also, you can cut them into any shape/size with a razor blade or exacto knife.

Yes, they do. But it's a very sturdy/heavy piece and freestands for me on carpeting without an issue, with a flat screen tv on top.

No, use hard sliders (Like these) to slide over a soft surface like carpet. Use soft or felt sliders to slide over hard surfaces.

They are cut loosely. It will probably go on but be a little sloppy, but that's the only alternative to having a permanent pad installed.

The screws only show through the inside part of the foot rest. They aredark in color so not real noticeable.

Yes, they do. I use them on a very heavy wool rug and my desk stays in place perfectly.

Yes. They have separate holders that the legs fit in that have holes for inserting screws or bolts as needed

If they are adjustable and you want to move them separately, there has to be at least a slight gap. It is not something that you feel like you are going to fall through but it is noticeable.

I removed them for a couple reasons. The first being I wanted to keep the carpet mats nice and the second is because there is a hook that holds the mats in place in the front. These will not sit right with the carpet mat there using the hook.

Yes, they are quite heavy and should settle into thicker carpet nicely. If you are worried about divots in the carpet, I would suggest getting some small furniture sliders to put under the feet.

Yes, along with velcro on the bottom and the round velcro plates that screw into the carpet, to hold them in place. They were OEM BMW mats. Good purchase; pleased.
