How caster sockets fit to the item

Caster sockets are the part that will hold the caster to the chair, table or item’s leg. These items are integral to the full operation of the caster, and poor installation can mean bent or broken sockets, loose casters and even damage to the item being fitted. Buying the wrong size socket will do nothing but harm to a piece of equipment so it is best to be meticulous about getting the right sizes and details before placing an order.

How to get a caster socket to stay in place

For a caster socket to stay in place, it needs to be measured to an exact size to fit inside the tubular leg. Most sockets stay in place because of the tight contact between them and the leg wall, so when this pressure is not present it can cause problems with looseness and wobbling. Sometimes a layer of electrical or duct tape can be enough to improve the fit if it is a little loose.
