I have a 600mm wide larder unit and I’ve not had the same problem.

I am aware that after I purchased mine 600 wide larders were stopped being manufactured because of that very problem but not 500. Now they are back in production.

Mine is a Vauth-Sagel brand and they are not cheap especially if you also buy the chromeworks to go inside it which I did.

I too load the heavy items in the bottom basket such as tins and the lighter items like cereal packets at the top.

There is a weight limit each larder unit is recommended to hold.

There are lots for sale on the market and some of the cheaper ones do not stand the test of time.

Is everything screwed firmly in place? Could you take some items out and test it and see if the problem doesn’t happen?

I have to admit they store so much paraphernalia they are wonderful. I love mine.

Thanks Daisy, I think I'll take your advice and try different ways of storing. It's a good quality unit and installed professionally so I have faith in the unit itself.

I had a word with hubby about this and he said double check the fittings are firmly connected especially at the back of the unit. He has known fitters not fit the units correctly causing movement.
