Product Information

Full details

These Knightsbrand brass castor wheels are designed to add mobility and a classic touch to a wide range of furniture, including sofas, chairs, beds, cabinets, and tables. The key benefit is the ease of movement they provide, allowing furniture to be repositioned effortlessly. A potential caveat is the need to correctly identify the bolt size (M6, M8, or M10) for secure attachment, as incorrect sizing will prevent proper installation.

FAQs

How do I determine the correct bolt size for my furniture?

The best method is to try fitting nuts of different sizes (M6, M8, M10) onto the existing leg fitting. The nut that fits securely indicates the required bolt size for your new castors.

Can these castors be used on all types of flooring?

These castors are generally suitable for most carpeted and hard floor surfaces. For delicate or easily scratched floors, consider testing in an inconspicuous area or using a protective mat.

What is the weight capacity of these castors?

Specific weight capacity is not provided, but they are designed for standard household furniture. Ensure the furniture's total weight is distributed evenly across all castors.

Are these castors sold individually or in sets?

This product is a set of 4 castors, as indicated by '4X' in the title.

What is the difference between screw-in and self-fixing castors?

Screw-in castors have a threaded bolt that screws into a pre-existing threaded insert on the furniture. Self-fixing castors are typically flat-based and are attached using wood screws into pre-drilled holes.

How should I clean the brass castors?

Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish.

Troubleshooting

Castor does not screw in properly.

Verify that you have selected the correct bolt size (M6, M8, or M10). Ensure the thread on the castor matches the thread on the furniture. If using self-fixing castors, confirm the pre-drilled holes are the correct size for 6mm wood screws.

Furniture wobbles after castor installation.

Check that all castors are fully and securely screwed in. Ensure the bolt size is correct and the threads are not stripped on either the castor or the furniture. Try tightening them further.

Castor wheel does not roll smoothly.

Inspect the wheel for any debris, hair, or obstructions. Clean the wheel and the surrounding area. Ensure the wheel is securely attached and not damaged.

Brass finish is tarnishing.

Clean the castors with a soft, dry cloth regularly. For tarnishing, use a specialized brass cleaner sparingly and follow the product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the correct bolt size (M6, M8, or M10) by trying nuts on your existing furniture fittings. An M8 nut that fits indicates an M8 bolt, and so on. If your furniture has pre-drilled holes for wood screws, ensure they are 6mm.
  2. Remove the old castor or leg.
  3. Screw the new Knightsbrand castor into the corresponding fitting on your furniture. Ensure it is tightly secured.

Compatibility:

These castors are compatible with furniture that has M6, M8, or M10 threaded inserts, or pre-drilled holes for 6mm wood screws. They are suitable for sofas, chairs, settee's, beds, footstools, cabinets, tables, and bookcases.

Care:

Clean the brass castors with a soft, dry cloth to maintain their shine. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the brass finish.
