I want to replace casters with brake casters. What is the length of shaft and diameter of hole that casters fit into?

I just pulled mine out & they're about 3/4 or 7/8 of an inch. If you already have the chair just pull caster out & take it w/you!

I measured 3-1/2" from floor to the insert. The castor comes with a nut to secure the threaded shaft, so I don't have to worry about it undoing itself as I move the rack when I'm cleaning the floor. That nut (a stamped metal item that also contains the ball bearings) is 1-1/4+ size; I used a slip lock plier to snug it down. I'm confused by the other two responses- I got 4 castor sets in two purchases and all measure 3-1/2".

They are 2.5" in diameter, if your wheel has a hole 2.5" in diameter then they will fit.

I am sorry, but I don't know. The first time I sat in the chair I needed them for, the legs slid out of the casters because the rims are so shallow, I just threw them away.

Yes you can replace the casters. I had to as the ones that came with it were cheap and broke on install. Just ensure you match the stem diameter.

1 1/4 x 1 1/4 inches. Good wood quality, but I'm not absolutely sure that hammering a caster into it would not cause a split. Pre-drilling should work fine for any castor type.

My unit height is 34-1/4 inches with casters, not 34-1/2. My casters are plainly seated as far as they'll go. Without casters, it's only 31-3/4.

I looked at one of the casters, but when I tried to pull it out, both the caster and the socket came out of the chair. My best guess is that it's a 5/16" diameter by 1 -1/2" long stem.

I just received mine & it included a Bosch Type 27 Metal Grinding Wheel with 7/8" hole thru the center. The shaft size appears to be 5/8", but the 'Backing Flange' converts it to 7/8".

I'm not finding any of wheels by Whitmor but there are lots of others. At first glance, I think many of them would work. You would need to check the size of the bolt or just give it a go. These look very close without checking. Honey-Can-Do SHF-01939 Set of Four Casters, Black, 4-Inch

The replacements are offered here on amizon do a search for Universal Office Chair Caster Wheels for Carpet Floors - Standard Stem Diameter: 7/16", Stem Length: 7/8" - Set of 5Also when I have a office chair brake I always pull off the casters and save them. I've had plenty of chairs that have broken in the past this seams to be the one piece that is universal. Also when I have a chair brake I take all the metal pieces off and take them to the recycling center that way the chair doesn't fill my garbage can. I save myself about $15 on bulky trash collection that way.

If the wheel is sitting on a flat surface and standing up, the height is exactly 2 and 11/16 inches from top to bottom. The stem itself is 7/8 inches long. The wheel diameter is exactly 2 inches. But these particular casters did not hold up because the rubber wheel is supported only by a cheap plastic axle, poorly constructed; they would break easy; so I ended up putting back on the replaced hard plastic wheel castors which had stronger axle support.

Not sure. I wouldn't try it. I would either remove the built in casters and install the EB's or try to search out the manufacturer of your inserts and just purchase the wheels

Caster dimensions are universal,you can buy the casters you want and install those casters directly.

Yes. I bought casters from NeedCasters.com for $5.25 each. 50mm Hooded Nylon Caster with Soft Polyurethane Tires. Product number TWHN-50U-BK. When buying select the options for the brake and M8x1.25 x 12mm long stem. The wheels will then screw into the existing threaded holes. Works great!

Hi Kassy,By my measurements the assembly joints are 10 1/2 inches (these are the widest part of the unit). The casters must be made to go in a straight direction or they will add more space.

I don't know. I got them for my desk chair with arms. The only name I could find on the chair is "True Seating Concepts". I could not find the casters to fit in any local store. After much trial and error, I went on-line, and using the exact measurements of the old stem, found this one that fits perfectly. I bought a set so they would all be new, but saved the three unbroken old ones in case of another breakdown.
