Nylon castors on a hardwood floor

June 16, 2015 9:52 AM

I have some nylon castors on a pull-out drawer. They are scratching my wooden floor.

Unfortunately the castors can't be replaced with rubber ones. I don't use the drawer very much and so I thought about sticking rubber chucks underneath each castor.

I need chucks that prevent movement on both sides (as well as support the base of the wheel) - do they make these? What are they called?

Are there any other things I could try?

Best answer: It sounds like you are looking for caster cups. Here's an example.

Maybe you could put a chair mat under it.

Seconding a chair mat. Castor cups would be OK if you don't want to move it, but the chair mat gives you the freedom to move it easily should you want to.
