These ball bearing casters minimize friction, enhancing maneuverability and extending durability. They deliver smooth and quiet performance, suitable for light to medium weight applications rolling on carpet and hard floors.

Install Grip Neck Casters

• Casters should be installed perpendicular to the floor.
• Drill hole: 3/8" x 1 5/8"  in bottom of furniture leg. Insert caster-sleeve. Gently tap in place,.so that teeth permeate wood.
• Older furniture may have old caster-sleeve still in place. New replacement wood wheel casters may or may-not snap into old sleeves. Old sleeves can be removed and replaced with new sleeves. (see bottom of page)
• Once caster-sleeve is in place: push caster-stem into sleeve until it snaps into place.
• For smooth mobility and serviceable action casters must be properly installed.
• A note about restorations: mixing old and new casters, on one piece of furniture, rarely provides an acceptable outcome.
