Restore Your Recliner with This 180mm Footrest Release Spring
A high-quality replacement footrest release spring designed to restore proper function to manual recliner chairs, sofas, and lounges. With a total length of 180mm (measured in the closed position), this spring is built from durable 2.03mm thick steel and features offset hooks with black plastic covers for added grip and protection. Ideal if your recliner footrest won’t stay closed or pops open unexpectedly — this spring brings it back to smooth, secure operation.

🔩 Precision Hook Design
