I need to replace the swivel casters with rigid ones -- are the casters threaded, and if so, can you tell me the thread size/dimension?

Ours just pushed and snapped in. Don't think there are any threads in there. Not moving mine anyway, but nice to have the option if I had to. I believe the weight just secures the wheels to stay in place. Shelves are now holding a lot of stuff! Very happy with this unit. Nice and sturdy.

I would take off one of the casters and take it to a place that sells them. It should be a standard size.

Casters are quite standardized. The casters on my chair have a threaded shank with a hexagonal head to accommodate a wrench. They screw into the chair leg, & mine are only finger tight. I suggest you unscrew the offending caster & take it to your local hardware, or a big box store Like Home Depot or Lowes. You should be able to find one of the same diameter & mounting system, though it may not be identical to the broken one, or your local contact should be able to tell you where you can get one.

I'm not finding any of wheels by Whitmor but there are lots of others. At first glance, I think many of them would work. You would need to check the size of the bolt or just give it a go. These look very close without checking. Honey-Can-Do SHF-01939 Set of Four Casters, Black, 4-Inch

Yes the casters are the same as in the picture. I don't know which model is the sturdiest, or if it the same. Sorry

They are threaded but I don't think it's designed to move. You would need strong wheels and may be some adjustment to the frame too.

bring it to only hardware store, if you have the screws you can match the proper ones, if you don't just see which ones screw into the threaded holes. anyone at any hardware store had been more than helpful to help me find what I'm looking for. so don't be afraid to ask for some help.

Yes casters are lockable. Totally adjustable width and length. My PC is 16" long and 6.75" in width, fits great. Hope this helps!

These are replacement caster for a wide variety of office chairs. The caster stems have a c clip on them.You can use them in a DIY project by drilling a hole the diameter of the stem, then using a light weight mallet to drive the casters in the hole you drilled. The C-clip on the stem will compress enough to fit snugly. The bottom of the stem has a base so the hole should not exceed that diameter to allow the plastic caster to rotate freely.

Have you tried contacting the company directly? Perhaps they can provide you with the information you need. We have not needed to replace casters, so I don't have a specific answer for you.

My recollection is that you remove the plugs at the bottom of the posts (push through other end w/ anything thinner), and then fit the casters in. Hope that helps!

Most of the times casters are of universal fit. I tried to buy some other casters from home depot and was greatly disappointed. I think most likely it will fit.

These are plastic 2 inch casters. We had to replace one of ours and found some at Home Depot. But, they were not an exact match in style though they were the same size.

I'm that person. First I just drilled holes in the base and attached the bolt-on casters. But because the base has a slight cone shape to it the casters kept breaking. So I cut a round piece of plywood, fitted it inside the base flange and then put the bolt-on casters on. Been good ever since. You could try the push in casters but there's nothing to hold them unless you add plywood. Probably best to use the bolt-ons.

I don't know. I got them for my desk chair with arms. The only name I could find on the chair is "True Seating Concepts". I could not find the casters to fit in any local store. After much trial and error, I went on-line, and using the exact measurements of the old stem, found this one that fits perfectly. I bought a set so they would all be new, but saved the three unbroken old ones in case of another breakdown.

If you can find any that have the same shaft diameter and close to the same length as the original you should be able to. If you have an office supply store near you take one caster in and see if any of their suppliers have one available.
