Office Chair Mechanism Won't Tilt! Troubleshooting Tips.

  • We get a lot of customers calling in regarding a common issue with their office chair - it won't tilt! Luckily, there's a simple adjustment that fixes this problem. This video is shown with an office chair equipped with a basic swivel/tilt mechanism. If your chair has a different type of tilt mechanism, there should be a similar adjustment for the tilt tension that will loosen it up. On some chairs, this is integrated into one of the handles, or there is a separate dial. Reach out to the manufacturer for clarification on your chair. Check out www.huskyoffice.com/ for heavy duty office chairs and more great products.

    You saved me from buying a new chair, which I thought it had a broken tilt mechanism.
    I did NOT know the lever slides in and out!

      My chair would get locked and unlocked on its own. Maybe I did something to cause it, maybe I didn’t. I have no idea. I would just wait for it to fix itself. Today I finally looked it up after it engaged on its own. What a relief lol
