This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and furniture refurbishers looking to replace or upgrade furniture legs. The B&Q Furniture Castor offers a stylish chrome finish and a 32mm screw-in design, providing easy mobility and a fresh look for various furniture items like sofas, chairs, beds, and cabinets. A key consideration is ensuring you select the correct bolt size for your furniture's existing fittings, as incorrect sizing will prevent proper attachment.

You cannot use a tape measure. The most reliable method is to try a nut on your existing furniture leg's bolt. If an 8mm nut fits, you need M8. If it's too small, try a 10mm nut (requiring M10). If the 8mm nut is too big, you need M6.
These castors are ideal for most common furniture items like sofas, chairs, beds, cabinets, and tables. However, ensure the furniture has the correct threaded inserts and that the castor's load capacity is appropriate for the item's weight.
These refer to the diameter of the bolt thread. M8 is 8mm, M10 is 10mm, and M6 is 6mm. You must match the bolt size of your furniture's existing leg fitting to the castor's compatible size.
Generally, no special tools are required. The castors screw directly into pre-threaded holes. You may need a rag or glove to help grip and screw them in securely.
Use a soft, damp cloth. For tougher grime, a mild soap solution can be used. Always dry the castors thoroughly afterwards with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain the shine.
This particular castor model relies on a screw-in bolt fitting. If your furniture has pre-drilled holes for wood screws, you may need a different type of castor with a screw plate. Check the castor's description for alternative fitting types.
The 32mm castor wheel should provide adequate mobility on most carpets. For very thick pile carpets, larger or specialized castors might offer smoother movement.
Verify that you have selected the correct bolt size (M8, M10, or M6) that precisely matches your furniture's fitting. If the bolt is too large or too small for the thread, it will not engage properly.
Ensure all castors are screwed in securely and to the same depth. Check that the furniture's original fitting holes are not damaged or stripped. For very heavy items, consider if the castor's load capacity is sufficient.
Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution. Dry immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Check for any debris or obstructions around the castor wheel mechanism. Ensure it is screwed in straight and not at an angle, which can cause binding.
