The casters do what they are designed to do, but on a hardwood floor, they slide easily when locked, which is just as bad as rolling. Maybe they will work better on carpet.

Fit

  • Internal breaking casters are designed to lock only when you are sitting in the chair. The caster wheel lock may not engage if you weigh less than 110 pounds.

Compatibility

  • Please check your chair specifications prior to order.
    Friction ring stem is compatible with most, but not all, task chairs and stools.

Universal mounting stem
11mm (1/3") diameter;
19mm (3/4") long.

Installation

  1. Turn the chair on its side.
  2. If you have strong hands, you can remove castors by pulling. Otherwise you may need a lever, for example, a chisel or a screwdriver which you place between the castor and the chair base. If the castor stem remains caught in the base, grip the stem with pliers and pull it out. You may need to tap the pliers with a hammer until the stem loosens.
  3. Push the new castor or glide into place.

Maintenance

  • Sticky casters can usually be remedied with a thorough cleaning to remove accumulations of hair and debris in the caster wheels. If after cleaning the casters still do not turn easily, they should be replaced.

... but maybe you can find them elsewhere.

Standard chair casters in hard or soft tread are sold by many online retailers. Specialty chair casters and glides, e.g., in larger diameters, locking, braking (safety casters), industrial and ESD, can be hand-to-find. Give a Google search a try. You might get lucky.
