Fitting caster sockets correctly


The first rule to fitting caster sockets is to make sure they are tightly fitted into the space. Loose sockets are more likely to wobble with time, come loose and even be warped beyond repair by the constant pressure. This highlights the importance of picking a suitable socket, making sure it is made from good materials by a reputable company and installing it correctly to the furniture.

Quick fixes with caster sockets

There are some quick fixes to certain problems with caster sockets, but the main piece of advice is to fit them correctly in the first place. This means choosing the right size, inspecting them once in place and filling any gaps in material with some kind of liquid filler. A silicon sealant works well for this, as it completely fills any gaps in the furniture leg and prevents wobbles from occurring that can, over time, turn into something worse.
