Self-braking chair casters — weight-activated locking mechanism that grips the floor when someone sits in the chair and releases when the chair is empty. Designed for standing desks where the chair should stay put when you step away. Standard 7/16 inch grip-neck stem fits 90 percent of U.S. office chairs. Quiet TPR rubber tread, non-marking, hardwood and tile safe. Stocked at our Mansfield, TX facility.
Self-braking casters solve the standing-desk problem: when you stand up, your chair rolls away. These casters lock automatically when weight comes off, so the chair stays put. When you sit down, the weight engages the casters and the chair rolls normally.
If you use a standing desk and walk away from your chair frequently, self-braking is the right choice. Standard casters let the chair drift away.
TPR rubber tread is non-marking on hardwood, tile, vinyl, and laminate. Avoid using on plush carpet — the braking action requires firm floor contact.
These fit virtually all standard U.S. office chairs. Verify your existing caster pulls straight out (grip-neck) before ordering.
Most office chairs use 5 casters (one per leg of a 5-leg base). Order a set of 5 for complete chair replacement.
