Glider Rocker Bearings
This hardware kit is what you need to build one rocker. You will need to drill a 1-1/8" hole for the bearings to push into. We highly recommend using nothing but hardwoods. The bolts, nuts and washers are 3/8". The screws are #6 square recess drive. This produces the same simple arrangement as used by the chair manufacturers.
About the bearings: These bearings are made by the same American manufacturer that has been making bearings for glider rockers since the rockers were invented. They are a low speed bearing made of steel construction throughout. They have a light zinc finish and are lightly greased internally when assembled. The metal shield prevents dusts and contaminants from easily entering the bearing. The bore is smooth and fits a standard 3/8" bolt perfectly. This allows you to use any length bolt you need to build or repair your rocker. We have personally repaired several rockers with this bearing with great success and happy customers.
Glider rockers are popular porch furniture that can be used inside the home as well. Repairing the bearing on a glider rocker, in most cases, is as simple as taking out the broken bearing and replacing it. Most bearing problems will not require any more than the most basic of DIY work. For replacements, a standard 3/8-inch bolt fits the majority of common rocker gliders.
