All new recliners are garbage, I don't care what brand you buy. Get the cheapest one that is comfortable and replace them often. That's the best you can do.

Also... Amazon offers a 2 piece METAL Kit (Drive Toggle Clevis Replacement) that duplicates the Original 2 part Plastic parts...Do you recommended this? I ask because it appears to eliminate the need for all the extra Bushing Spacers? Thanks again
@reclinerrepairguy41555 күн бұрын
@colemant6845 - It may eliminate some of the spacers, but not all of them. I see these 3rd party replacement part kits (on amazon) still offer spacers with the replacement metal part. I have a little experience with these 3rd-party kits when they first came out years ago. The metal part can be installed in 2 parts, so you don't have to remove the Drive Rod part way to install it. Great. However, the included spacers would also need to be installed that way (in 2 parts) in order for these kits to save you any time or trouble. Because if the spacers are 1-piece, you still have to remove the Drive Rod part way to slide them on. The spacers were the problem with the early kit version that I saw. They didn't work. I recommend that you read the product comments & Q&As to see if the spacers have a better design than their early version counterparts. And if so, keep in mind that these are not original manufacturer parts. And as such, you're always taking a bit of a chance as to whether the design is 100% compatible & will last.

My 3 week old Lazy Boy recliner is giving me back problems. what are my options, as Lazy Boy is saying No returns?
@reclinerrepairguy41559 күн бұрын
@ritatandon9269 - That's tricky, because it depends on what's causing your back issues. If the chair does not fit you properly & there's nothing wrong with it -- that can cause back or neck problems. However, there are scenarios where the chair fits, but may not have some padding installed correctly (or other defect) that's causing the problem. Those can be corrected, whereas the "bad fit" cannot. If you tried the chair at the store (demo model) & it was fine, but when you had it delivered (ordered model) it was not, that suggests a difference with the delivered chair, for example. In these cases, the seller may offer to swap your chair with the demo, it that's feasible. Regardless of which scenario is at play here, the bottom line is that you reported the problem promptly. And unless you bought the chair "as-is," they should work with you to resolve the problem. If the seller will not do that, report the problem to the manufacturer. They want consumers that buy their products to be satisfied, & obviously you aren't.

Thanks RR Guy...went to JoAnn's Fabric with the wife..she had the coupon. Got the green 2 incher for $21. Traced some marks with a magic marker...got the electric knife out when she was at her mother's.Great tip by the way to use it instead of a scissor. Cut it to fit, jammed it in, being careful not to wreck the zippers on this LaZBoy Astor. Put new 2 inch padding in the lower two cushions of the back. Tried it out. WAY TOO much. Felt like my back was curved backwards. Sooo, took the knife and sliced the pad down the middle into two 1 inch pieces. I then put the 1 inches in the lower two back cushions. I then felt cocky, sliced open the head cushion, carefully jammed a 2 inch piece in there. Perfect! Just as firm and supportive as I remember it when purchased 9? years ago. Thanks so much for your encouraging video. As a rookie, I was looking at all different types of polyfill on Amazon, unsure of the type and amount needed. Your expertise made the difference! Plus, it gives us the confidence going forward to get our chairs just right. It always seemed curious that cars would have an adjustable lumbar support, but our home chairs?...nada.

@Faith9120 - My wife has an aunt who is about 4' 10" tall. She recently bought a petite recliner that fits her well. So, I know that chairs that fit people under 5' 4" are out there, or can be ordered. But whether those chairs would also fit someone that size with shorter legs is a good question. I'd place some calls to furniture stores outside your area to see who stocks a good selection of petite recliners. Then maybe travel a bit to try some out to make sure they will fit properly. If you have a mini-van, pickup or SUV, you can bring the chair home with you, if you find one. Since recliner backs can be removed, you can fit these chairs in many different vehicles.

See this video for a demo that includes tightening those screws -----> kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmTYfHebpsuli9k Install a new set of fasteners as shown, then check them about once a week to see if they're still working themselves loose (that's how/why the heads snap off). Check the base joints as well, to make sure everything is in good condition and not somehow putting excessive stress on those fasteners. If the screws are staying tight & the bases all look good, my guess is that the chair is getting some extreme rocking or other unusual forces that are causing the heads to snap.

I can’t thank you enough! I want to try to rest stuff. My powered Morrison recliner from La-Z-Boy. It does have a power headrest and lumbar. Is that going to cause me problems? You pretty much already said that it would. But I am desperate. Lazy boy will not help me and neither will the company that I bought it from, at this point, it’s just a wasted chair so I don’t really have much to lose. The padding wore out on it within just a couple of months. I think that’s because it had sat in the showroom for a while. The company I bought it from is a mom and Pop store, who basically just sells what they have on the floor. The one we picked must’ve been someone’s favorite nap during lunch or something because it looked fluffy when we first got it and it wore out so fast under my husband’s 200 pound body.

@littlebeebs1 - If you purchased the chair new (not "as-is") it should have full warranty coverage. That coverage is typically good for 1 year. If you reported the problem within that time frame, they are obligated to take care of the problem for you. If they don't, read the fine print of your warranty to make sure this issue (padding) is not excluded from coverage (it shouldn't be). Then contact La-z-boy directly & insist they follow through on their warranty commitment. If you bought it "as-is," contact an experienced repair tech or upholsterer (with experience with restuffing recliners) to get a repair quote.

@reclinerrepairguy4155Ай бұрын
@AndrineLemieux - Check with La-z-boy to see if the replacement wire & Pawl (if you need a new one) are still available. (Some long-time dealers may also have this in-stock with other out-dated parts that are no longer used in newer chairs.) If the Pawl is still good, you can cut & shape your own replacement wire to fit. Take a piece of the old wire to a hardware or home improvement store to buy the same gauge (thickness). The wire is shaped to form a long, thin rectangle that's open on one end. The wire is fed through an attachment point on the back of the Pawl, and over to the Drive Rod where the 2 ends are fastened by a screw inside a small barrel-shaped cylinder. It's important that the length of the wire is the same as the original, so hopefully you have enough pieces from the original wire to determine that.

@gerards9788 - La-z-boy sofas & loveseats usually have "1-piece" mechanisms that have to be removed from the recliner. These setups are modular, and come apart fairly easily. With a sofa or loveseat, the 1st step is to separate the section you want to repair from the other sections. This is typically done by removing the "feet" that bolt the section to the floor rails. Next remove the back & mechanism. The mechanism will have 4 screws that mount it to the underside of the seat frame. (Also, if you have a chaise seat, the footrest will have to be detached from the mech before removal.)

Replacing older metal parts with newer plastic ones? Wouldn't the opposite be the "better quality" option, more permanent fix? ? Are metal parts even available?
@reclinerrepairguy4155Ай бұрын
@nicolegoupil7179 - When placing a part order with La-z-boy you can ask about the parts to make sure everything you need is still available. The metal configuration requires about 7 parts to provide the 3-position feature. And 2 of those parts -- the Extension Springs -- that hold everything together, are tiny & can easily be damaged (over-stretched) during installation. Also, the Drive Rod needs to be partially removed to install the Lock Plates. As a result, this repair takes some time & all 7 parts need to be in good working order for it to work properly. With the plastic parts, however, you only have 2 parts that can be replaced in less than 5 minutes (if you've done it before). And they can last a fairly long time. Keep an extra set handy & you'll be able to swap them out any time that it becomes necessary. Easy-peasy.
