When You Hear "Snap" From Your Recliner Handle...
We’ve all been there. You come home after a long day, get your favorite beverage, sit down, and pull the lever to kick your feet up. Snap. The handle goes limp, the footrest stays down, and your recliner is officially grounded.
A broken handle, a frayed cable, or a stuck footrest can be fixed. At MasterTech Furniture Repair, we specialize in human-powered, manual recliner repairs throughout Pinellas County. We fix it for a fraction of the cost of buying a new, high-quality chair.
We Carry the Fix Right on the Truck
Why should you call MasterTech? We don't like making you wait.
Because manual recliner parts share a lot of common mechanical designs, we carry an extensive stock of replacement handles, release cables, mechanisms, and tension springs right in our service trucks.
That means when we show up at your door in Clearwater, St. Pete, or Palm Harbor, we virtually always have your manual recliner working on the very first visit.
Common Manual Recliner Problems We Fix Daily
- The Broken Release Handle: Whether it’s a classic exterior flipper lever (car-door type), a handle that looks like a D-ring or hidden interior pull-trigger tucked next to the cushion, plastic and metal handles wear down and break. We swap them out with durable, smooth-operating replacements.
- Snapped or Stretched Pull Cables: If you pull the handle and feel absolutely no resistance—or if you have to yank it with all your might to get a reaction—the internal steel cable has likely snapped or stretched out of spec. We've got you covered there, too.
- Broken Springs: If the world is suddenly looks crooked, it's probably your chair. There are two types of springs in your recliner. The springs we can repair are the spiral springs with hooks on the end. So, if you find spring under your chair, hang on to it. Before we come, we can be sure to have the right spring on the truck and fix it in one trip.
