Chair Adjustments

Office Stationery’s office chairs, those on a central spindle and five star base, have a high quality mechanisms that provide users with a variety of methods of changing the chair to suite the needs of the individual. Generally speaking the higher price of the chair, the better the mechanisms. The more you can personalise a chair the more likley it will be that you achieve a “a perfect fit.”

  • Tilt Action Used on executive office chairs, this movement allows a free-floating rocking movement. It can often be locked in position.

  • Asynchro Tilt This movement allows you to move the seat and back to any position you choose. It is sometimes called and ISB (Independent Seat and Back).

  • Synchro Tilt This function allows the office chairs, seat and back move in sympathy with each other in a 3:1 ratio.

  • Permanent Contact Abbreviated to PCB this means the back “rake” or angle of the backrest can be locked in a variety of positions or left free floating in permanent contact with the user.

  • Seat Slide Provides the seat with the ability to lock off further to or from the backrest. Ideal for those with longer or shorter legs.

  • Multi Lock Mechanism The multi lock mechanism is similar to the lock-tilt mechanism but allows users to lock the chair in any of five positions.

  • Knee Tilt A twin lever mechanism, one lever allows users to adjust the seat height up and down and the other lever can be used to either lock the office chair in any positions. The pivot point is found towards the front of the seat so that users feet remain on the floor when tilting backwards.

  • Back Rake A single lever lets users adjust height up and down or unlock the tilt of the chair. These mechanisms can either be locked in an upright position or left to free float with the user.
