Practical reference

A replacement caster or foot has to match the furniture's actual mounting interface.

## Identify the existing interface

Before buying or installing a replacement, determine whether the part uses:

- a threaded stem;
- a grip-ring stem;
- a socket;
- a screw-in foot;
- a push-in or furniture-only glide;
- another manufacturer-designed interface.

The replacement should match the existing furniture rather than being forced into the opening.

## Support the furniture safely

Furniture should be unloaded or positioned safely before a foot or caster is removed.

The frame should not be balanced precariously while the part is being changed.

Large or awkward pieces may require another person for safe handling.

## Use compatible load-appropriate parts

Where manufacturer specifications are available, use them.

The person doing the work does not invent caster or glide load ratings.

A replacement should be like-for-like or otherwise clearly suitable for the furniture and its use.

## Test the finished furniture

After replacement, check:

- rolling;
- caster brakes where present;
- level;
- wobble;
- foot contact;
- basic stability.

If the socket, thread, mounting area, or furniture frame is damaged, stop rather than forcing a new part into failed material.

This task does not include welding, broken-frame repair, floor alteration, permanent cabinetry, or drilling into the building.

The finished result should be compatible floor-contact hardware installed on sound freestanding furniture and tested for ordinary use.
