Description
25mm (1″) Brass Screw Plate Castor
The 25mm (1″) Brass Screw Plate Castor is a compact solid brass furniture castor designed to fix directly to the underside of suitable furniture using a circular screw plate.
It is widely used by furniture manufacturers on new furniture and is also a practical replacement for worn, damaged or broken furniture castors where an existing plate-style fixing is being replaced.
Typical applications include:
- Footstools
- Upholstered chairs
- Small sofas
- Cabinets
- Furniture units
- Occasional furniture
- Replacement furniture castors
- New furniture manufacture

A Simple Plate-Fixed Furniture Castor
The main advantage of a screw plate castor is the straightforward fixing method.
Rather than requiring a socket drilled into the furniture or a cup fitted around the furniture leg, the fixing plate sits directly against a suitable flat section of the furniture frame or leg.
This makes screw plate castors particularly useful where:
- There is a suitable flat fixing surface
- The timber is sound enough to accept screws
- A stem-and-socket castor is not required
- The furniture leg is unsuitable for a cup castor
- A worn plate-mounted castor is being replaced like for like

25mm Brass Screw Plate Castor Dimensions
The key dimensions are approximately:
- Wheel diameter: 25mm (1″)
- Fixing plate diameter: 25mm
- Height to fixing plate: 40mm
- Fixing type: circular screw plate
When replacing an existing castor, compare the fixing plate as well as the wheel diameter and overall height.
A castor with the correct wheel size but the wrong fixing plate can still be completely unsuitable.
How Does a Screw Plate Castor Fit?
The circular fixing plate sits flat against the underside of the furniture and is secured using suitable screws.
Before fitting:
- Check that the fixing surface is flat
- Make sure the timber is sound
- Position the castor squarely
- Mark the screw positions before drilling
- Use suitable pilot holes where required
- Avoid fixing too close to the edge of the timber
- Check that the screws will not interfere with springs, webbing or other furniture components
- Make sure the castor sits securely before putting the furniture back into use
Do not rely on damaged or enlarged existing screw holes where they no longer provide a secure fixing.
If the furniture requires repair before the castor can be fitted securely, deal with the timber or frame problem first rather than simply using a larger screw.
Choosing the Correct Furniture Castor
The fixing method is just as important as the wheel diameter when choosing a replacement castor.
Screw Plate Castors
This product mounts directly beneath the furniture using a fixing plate.
For a larger version, see the 32mm (1¼”) Brass Screw Plate Castor.
Grip Neck Castors
If the furniture uses a stem pushed into a socket rather than a screw plate, see the 25mm (1″) Brass Grip Neck Castor.
A larger 32mm (1¼”) Brass Grip Neck Castor is also available.
Cup Castors
If the castor needs to fit around the end of a wooden furniture leg, see the 25mm (1″) Brass Cup Castor.
For larger furniture legs, see the 32mm (1¼”) Brass Cup Castor.
Square Cup Castors
For suitable square or block-style furniture legs, see the Brass Square Cup Castor.
Screw Cup Castors
Where the furniture requires a traditional cup-style appearance with a different screw fixing, consider the 32mm (1¼”) Brass Screw Cup Castor.
If you’re unsure which fixing you have, contact Livedale before ordering.
25mm or 32mm Screw Plate Castor?
Livedale stocks screw plate brass castors in both 25mm and 32mm wheel sizes.
The right option depends on:
- Existing wheel diameter
- Required finished furniture height
- Size of the existing fixing
- Available mounting area
- Furniture size and style
If replacing an existing castor, use the old fitting as the starting point rather than choosing solely by appearance.
The 32mm (1¼”) Brass Screw Plate Castor is the closest larger alternative to this product.
