A locking system for a toe-kick plate of an appliance includes a toe-kick plate having a substantially planar body with a first, inward-facing, surface and a second, outward-facing, surface, the toe-kick plate having a bracket leg extending from the second surface. The appliance has a cabinet body with a shaped channel configured to receive at least a portion of the bracket leg, the shaped channel including at least first and second channel walls. A wedging member is locatable between the walls of the shaped channel, such that the bracket leg is frictionally locked within the shaped channel between at least one of the channel walls and the wedging member. The wedging member is adjustably advanceable within the shaped channel such that a frictional locking force applied to the bracket leg can be varied.
