Edit ArticleHow to Fix a Squeaky Desk Chair Two Methods:Oiling Metal PartsFixing Wooden ChairsCommunity Q&A Have you ever been annoyed by the squeak of a chair? Squeaky chairs can be a nuisance to both the person sitting and others in the room. Fortunately, those annoying noises do not mean it is time for a new chair. When a squeaky chair is properly diagnosed, it can be quite simple to fix the problem. Check the nuts, bolts, and screws.Apply a lubricating oil on all of the nuts, screws and bolts to help loosen the joints. Simply spray oil directly on the the chair mechanisms, and pat them dry. You can also spray oil on a soft cotton cloth, and rub the oil onto your problem areas to have more control over where the oil goes. Moisture in the air and air conditioners cause rust. Regularly applying oil prevents rust from occurring and building up. Remove the bolts and screws completely before adding any lubricant. Have a friend sit in the chair as you apply oil.
Fix the springs in the back of the chair. A chair may only squeak when you lean back, which is usually caused by too much tension where the spring's ends rub on the housing ends. To fix this, apply oil to the seat tension spring located inside the turn-knob housing. Simply loosen the seat tension turn-knob and remove the turn-knob to spray oil inside the housing. Roll the chair back and forth to check out the wheels. Inspect the wooden chair for loose legs, screw, or nails. Check how loose the chair legs are, as well as the back of the chair, by pushing and pulling them back and forth to see how much movement they have. There should be virtually no movement. Position the chair you are working on upside down. You can either flip the chair upside down on a table or on another chair so that you can more easily access the problem area. This will also prevent any unwanted pressure on the legs or back of the chair when you are working. Apply glue to loose joints. There are many types of strong wood glue products you can purchase to stabilize loose leg joints.
When you locate a loose joint, push wood glue into the joint and let it dry completely before flipping the chair back over. Wipe away any access glue that comes out of the joint with a wet rag. To create a thicker wood glue consistency, try adding wood filler to the glue. A thicker mixture can better help stabilize wobbly chair legs. Expand the dowels with wood-swelling liquids. For very loose legs that seem to need more than glue, remove the chair leg completely, and use a wood-swelling liquid. Sometimes, dowels can shrink, causing chair parts to become loose. When you apply a wood-swelling liquid to the dowel, it will allow the dowel to once again become secure in the chair. Replace the nails or wooden joint plugs. If the hardware in the chair seem to be loose or no good anymore, you can replace them with new ones. Even if you don't want to remove the existing hardware, you can add reinforcement with more nails or bracket hinges to make the chair sturdy. When putting in more screws, make sure they are long enough to secure the wood, but not long enough to come through the other side of the wood.
You can purchase wood glue, spray lubricant, and silicone spray at most home good and hardware stores. Oiling the chair excessively may be detrimental to its mechanism. It may cause the chair to roll too easily or make the chair unable to retain height adjustments. Be sure to pat dry the areas you apply oil to.Looking for chairs in Toronto, we are a leading supplier of office chairs, restaurant furniture, hotel furniture, restaurant chairs, desk chairs, ergonomic chairs, seating chairs, modern chairs, office furniture, soft seating, restaurant seating, church chairs, stacking chairs, banquet hall chairs, chair parts and home office furniture in Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Hamilton, London, Barrie, Markham, Etobicoke, Scarborough, Woodbridge and Vaughan We are also a leading chair manufacturer in Toronto.
