Wheels, casters and glides all necessitate the use of threaded inserts to be
fitted into the furniture leg. Picking the right sized item means measuring out
the leg and seeing what will attach correctly to the unit. There are many
different uses for these parts, but essentially they can be used for affixing
one piece of furniture to another without destroying the integrity of the wood.
Fitting the right threaded inserts
It might be necessary to use a drill when installing threaded inserts into
furniture, although some will simply slot into place and remain there with a
spring. Choosing the right type of insert means looking at the item being
fitted and seeing what it will be used for. It is also important to match the
right thread size with the item being screwed in place. If these are picked
incorrectly they will not fit together securely and might even cause further
damage to the unit.
