allows the casters at that end of the cabinet to
rotate out of the rigid position when the cabinet
is moved in tight spaces or around sharp
corners, without dragging.

until the casters are out of the rigid position.
When you remove your foot from the red loop
the casters will continue to be free to swivel
until the cabinet is pulled for a distance from
the opposite side and the casters swivel back
into the rigid or “travel” position.
