The Ultimate Guide to Choosing & Using Furniture Casters

This furniture caster is designed to enable smooth mobility for light to medium - weight furniture (e.g., cabinets, small carts, storage units). Proper installation, usage, and maintenance will ensure long - lasting, reliable performance.

Step 1: Select the Mounting Position

Choose a flat, stable spot on the furniture leg or base. If no pre - drilled holes exist, mark positions that align with the caster's mounting plate.

Step 2: Secure the Caster

Align the mounting plate with the marked holes.

Use appropriate screws to fasten the plate. Tighten screws firmly, but avoid over - tightening (which may warp the plate).

Step 3: Verify Stability

Gently push, pull, or wiggle the caster to check for secure attachment. Ensure no wobbling or looseness.

Floor Conditions: Use on clean, even surfaces. Avoid rough floors, debris, or gaps (prevents wheel jams and damage).

Moving Furniture: Push/pull slowly and steadily. Avoid sudden impacts (e.g., dropping furniture) or dragging (protects wheels and floors).

Routine Cleaning: Remove dust, hair, or dirt from wheels and axles using a soft cloth or brush.

Lubrication: Apply light oil to wheel axles every 3–6 months for smooth rotation. Avoid heavy grease (attracts dirt).

Wear Inspection: Regularly check for cracked wheels, loose screws, or bent brackets. Replace damaged casters immediately.

Stiff Wheel: Clean debris from the wheel/axle. Lubricate and test. Replace the wheel if issues continue.

Loose Mounting: Retighten screws. If the plate remains unstable, replace the caster to ensure safety.
