Click-clack care

The click-clack sofa mechanism requires some care, however, like any other. What is the most common reason for its failure? Banal lack of lubrication.

Distortions appear, which makes it impossible to freely transform the product.

Troubles can be avoided if the active parts are periodically treated with technical oil of increased density.

Without fail, rivets are processed in this way, fixing the mechanism in the frame box and the seat.

Sometimes, when transforming furniture, a characteristic click is heard only on one side.This indicates that the second mechanism has already failed and needs to be replaced. Correctly carry out repairs, changing the transforming structures simultaneously on both sides.
