Frequently Asked Questions
Plug-in fittings are separately available accessories designed to connect compatible blind-hole furniture castors to furniture. Depending on the required interface, the TENTE range includes plug-in plate, threaded-stem and collar-stem options. Selecting the correct fitting depends on factors such as blind-hole diameter, furniture construction, mounting dimensions and the chosen castor configuration.
Plate-style plug-in fittings combine a plug-in connection at the castor with a plate that can be secured to the furniture. TENTE plate fittings use multiple screw connections, including versions designed for secure attachment with four screws. The plate size, hole centres and hole diameter should match the furniture structure so that the fitting can sit correctly and provide a stable mounting interface.
Stem-style plug-in fittings can influence the distance and alignment between the castor and the furniture. TENTE offers stem versions with different lengths and designs, including options with a circlip or collar. Some provide very little distance between castor and application, while collar stems maintain a defined spacing. The selected stem dimensions should therefore suit both the castor and furniture construction.
In furniture assembly, plug-in fittings provide an efficient connection between a compatible blind-hole castor and the furniture structure. Their plug-in design can support straightforward installation, while different fitting styles allow the mounting interface to suit the application. Correct dimensions and fitting selection help provide secure attachment, stable positioning and a suitable overall installation.
When selecting plug-in fittings for a furniture castor with a blind hole, the fitting must be compatible with the blind-hole diameter of the selected castor. TENTE offers different fittings for specific blind-hole sizes, so the stem or fitting dimensions should be checked together with the furniture interface. The required overall height, mounting method and available fitting configuration should also be considered before selection.
Plug-in fittings can contribute to quieter operation when a suitable noise-reducing stem configuration is selected. The TENTE furniture range includes a collar stem with a synthetic circlip designed as a noise-reducing version, as well as a noise-reduction stem for suitable metallic bases. However, movement noise also depends strongly on the selected wheel or tread and the floor surface, so the complete configuration should be considered.
Threaded-stem plug-in fittings combine quick connection to a compatible blind-hole castor with a threaded interface for the furniture. TENTE offers threaded-stem versions that can be screwed into the application, providing a solid fitting. Some versions can be used without a nut to reduce the distance between castor and furniture. Thread size, stem length and blind-hole compatibility should be checked before assembly.
The blind-hole diameter is a key compatibility point when choosing plug-in fittings. Different TENTE fittings are intended for specific blind-hole sizes, including 8, 10 and 11 mm configurations in the furniture ranges. The fitting should be matched to the exact castor version rather than selected by appearance alone. Stem measurements, overall height and the furniture-side connection should also be checked.
When using collar-stem plug-in fittings, check the stem diameter and length, the compatible blind-hole size and the furniture-side interface. The collar creates a defined distance between the castor and the application, and TENTE identifies this style as particularly suitable for chairs. Collar stems can also be combined with suitable sockets, so the selected socket and stem dimensions should be matched as a system.
Plate dimensions determine whether plate-style plug-in fittings can be attached correctly to the furniture. The TENTE range includes different plate sizes, hole-centre patterns and hole diameters, so these dimensions should be matched to the available mounting surface and screw positions. The chosen plate should also suit the castor's blind-hole connection and the required installation height for the finished furniture.
For chairs, plug-in fittings should be selected according to the castor's blind-hole diameter, the chair-base interface and the required spacing beneath the furniture. TENTE offers collar-stem fittings identified as particularly suitable for chairs, as the collar provides a defined distance between the castor and application. Compatible sockets and stem dimensions should also be checked for a stable, secure installation.
When combining plug-in fittings with sockets, the stem and socket must be dimensionally compatible. TENTE offers sockets for round tubes, square tubes and wooden furniture, with specified socket and collar dimensions for matching collar stems. Choosing the correct combination supports easy, solid assembly and stable mounting. The furniture material, tube shape or bore size should therefore be checked before ordering.
