how to keep the top plate from sliding forward when one a slope

The grill has a slip-joint built in to allow for height adjustment of thickness of meats or foods. When in the tilted position to allow for grease run-off, the top plate will slip some, but does not pose a problem as long as the plates are locked in correctly.

Are you sure you have it properly locked in place at the handles? That's what keeps it from sliding.

There is a release on the left side just under the slide. Push it down and the slide will go foward to its original position

The item has a rubberized material sewn on the base which has pretty good anti-slide properties. I have not had a problem with the item sliding at all. Over time, I suppose the material could harden and become slick. If that should happen, I plan to use a swatch of rubberized shelf liner to keep the item in place.

Our driveway is slightly sloped and it works great. You should have no problems, just fill it with water or sand and it does not budge.

I think it does move around. I still own it but it's starting to split. However, you may use the tip people use with mixers bowls. Try seeing if laying down a slightly damp dish towel under the board and see if this stops it from sliding while you are working.

Yes. But with a word of advice...The surface must be level or the doors and the sliding top will bind. Not "may bind" but "will bind".

No. I had concerns about that but have not found it an issue. It is of good weight on the base plate so it doesn't slide around. It just has a "functional" roll when you want it to move.

There is a lip, or slightly higher ridge, that keeps items from sliding off when the door is opened.

You can't keep it from sliding away. I would not reccomend this one. There are others out there that have a flap made on the bottom of the chair that you sit on and that is what keeps it from sliding away. You may want to look at those!

Normally can be used with existing plates that have a slot for the slider mechanism to move up/down freely. Another item to check is the heat sink fins for side to side clearance in multi-gang installations. It is sometimes difficult to get the plate holes lined up with dimmer or other switches in these installs.

There is a screw on the slides that allows you to lock the slides in place, I think the folks having trouble with the slides have not made certain that this screw is all the way loose. Mine was not and the slide was a bit stiff. Once I loosened the screw....smooth as glass!!

Mine has little pads built onto the feet already. I don't have much problem at all with sliding around. Also there is a small nook behind the feet that allow it to sit on the edge of a bowl so that the slices will fall right into the bowl.

1. Be sure the rubber foot cups have the flat side down -- this will help level the unit and minimize sliding. 2 - tale legs apart and reassemble tightly. 3 - use unit on a flat surface using a firm chair (like a kitchen chair). Past all that I don't know.

The weight of the ramp itself seems to keep it in place. We've had one in place for at least 6 months and have never had an issue. Our doorsill upon which it rests does have several ridges and that may also help.

I placed a rubber mat under mine. This keeps it from sliding around. My issue was it developed cracks overnight on one side after treating it with cutting board oil before my first use.

I gave to someone as a gift so I dk, but usually those type slide out the top..try using your fingers to slide it up or to side..

The roof does slope. The wind does knock it over. It will need to be anchored or sheltered to avoid that.
