If I recall ( I installes them almost a year ago) that all I did was stuck them in the holes of chair. I don't think they came with any sleeves to use if you were to buikd your own.

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.

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.

yes, the casters just go into a hole in the bottom of the leg..just leave them off. But here is a tip, the are pretty well made casters, so you may want to keep them around for a future project, they could save you money down the road.

It's been more than a year since we assembled the chair but I do not remember any issues with putting the wheels on. It seems to me that they clicked in. What do the directions indicate? Maybe you should call a woodworking company and ask them. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Yes drill first then the caster will go in very easily! I did four heavy dining chairs and love them!

You only need the ground sleeve if you're intent is for the pole to be removable. The item comes with everything ready to install minus the concrete that you can buy at a hardware store. I didn't get the sleeve for my install since i wanted a permanent pole in the ground.

Hello, There is no 5th. leg! Table pulls out and I would see no reason why casters would not work. We have used ours often and you have a choice for the size depending on how many extra seats you may need. Bought all the matching chairs at Costco, and they fold up as well.

Mine came with an installation guide and a cutting template. I installed mine on a 2" butcher block counter as a top mount and the clips that came with it are very difficult to attach, it's like they are too small. If you have a specific question, I can check my installation guide and try to answer.

Small ones. If your putting in alot of weight then I would recommend putting a thin layer of plywood (1/4') across the bottom then attach casters

I figured it out! You need to be careful which end caps you put on which sides. The endcaps with the screw holes need to go on to the bottom. The casters screw into those screw holes. When my wife and I were assembling the clothing rack, we put the endcaps that were supposed to go on the top on the bottom and vice versa, meaning that the bottom didn't have anything to screw the casters into it. A little disassembly of the rack, a swapping of the endcaps, some reassembly, and we were back in business!

They would have to be extremely small and would make the screen very unstable. I'd say don't do casters, but if you can find them, do sliders, like you put under your furniture to move it around easily. I would also check to make sure that the screen comes in one piece, not in two pieces that you have to assemble. I ordered two screens from different companies. One came in two three foot sections that had to be assembled, and the other was one continous piece--no assembly. I'm not sure which one this is your interested in. Good Luck.

the leg itself is 3/4in by3/4in. at an angle as shown. the holes are blocked by rubber feet that can be removed. I've seen casters that will fit in square tubbing. so if you can find that small of a caster end yes or if you can ram a square block of wood and drill a hole in it then put a caster arm in wood. it would work. casters can't have fenders on them like some do though.

The casters have a stem diameter of .425" or 10.9 mm. They are about .75 " long where they insert into the base.

First choice, contact the company from which you bought the casters. This will not be the first time that they have heard this lament. If they're cool, they may just send you a replacement. Worst case, they sell you a packet of (4) sockets. Second choice, go online and search for sellers that offer sockets. I did this once and was able to find a seller that offered both caster kits and standalone socket packets. Can't remember the name of this seller. Since the range of caster types and sizes is quite broad, it may be a long shot that a hardware or home improvement store would have your specific socket in stock.

That is the silver metal stem on top of the caster assembly. There is a small ring near the top that holds the caster in place.

The caster wheels are plastic, probably for easier rolling. The stem is 13/16". Hope this helps.
