This Smiths Ironmongery Swivel Castor, designed by B&Q, is ideal for users looking to add mobility to furniture. Its key benefit is providing smooth movement with the added security of a brake. A potential consideration is its plain design, which may not suit all aesthetic preferences. It offers a 50mm width and a black/silver finish.

The specific weight capacity is not provided. It is recommended to assess the overall weight of the furniture and its contents to ensure it does not exceed what the castor can safely support.
No, screws or bolts for mounting are not included with the castor. You will need to select appropriate hardware based on your furniture material and thickness.
This castor is suitable for a variety of surfaces including wood, tile, laminate, and low-pile carpets. Avoid use on rough or uneven surfaces.
To engage the brake, simply press down firmly on the brake lever. To release, lift the lever.
It is generally recommended to replace all castors on a piece of furniture at the same time to ensure even weight distribution and consistent performance. However, if one castor is damaged, replacing only that one might be an option if the others are in good condition.
Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer. Please check the product packaging or contact B&Q for specific warranty details.
Check for any obstructions around the swivel mechanism. Ensure no debris is caught in the wheel. Consider applying a small amount of lubricant to the swivel joint.
Verify that the brake lever is fully depressed. Inspect the brake mechanism for damage or wear. Ensure the castor is mounted correctly and not at an angle that impedes brake function.
Confirm that all mounting screws are tight and the castor is securely attached to a solid surface. Check that the wheel is properly seated on its axle and that there is no damage to the wheel itself.
Setup: To install the castor, align it with the desired mounting point on the underside of the furniture. Secure it firmly using appropriate screws or bolts (not included). Ensure the castor is oriented correctly for desired movement. Test the swivel and brake functionality after installation.
Compatibility: This castor is generally compatible with most wooden furniture items such as small tables, cabinets, and workbenches. Ensure the mounting surface is sturdy enough to support the castor and the load it will carry.
Care: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish. Periodically check that the castor spins freely and the brake engages properly. Lubrication of the swivel mechanism may be beneficial if movement becomes stiff over time.
