Recliner Mechanism Repair

Professional repair for manual and power recliner mechanisms.

If your recliner no longer opens, closes, reclines, or supports weight properly, the problem may be inside the mechanism. We repair common recliner function issues including broken handles, damaged cables, stuck footrests, uneven movement, and other mechanical failures.

Broken Recliner Handles
Handles can crack, loosen or stop engaging the mechanism.

Stuck Footrests
Footrests that won't extend, retract or lock properly often indicate a mechanism problem.
