Services

Master provides a variety of products to protect you and your office furniture. As the industry’s leading supplier, we provide replacement casters for 99% of the office chairs on the market today. We produce an ergonomic lumbar support and seat/ back cushion that allows for day-long seating comfort. Heavy-duty felt pads and clear protectors prevent nicks and scratches on furniture, floors and walls.

Our furniture movers allow easy mobility of your heaviest furniture, while our self-adhesive, steel reinforced “instant wheels” provide effortless portability for filing cabinets, storage systems, computer tables and so much more. In addition, our rubber doorstops are guaranteed to hold doors open securely to prevent tripping and accidents and are a company best seller. Wire organizer grommets, clips and channels eliminate unsightly cords and cables, keeping them tangle free and safely out of the way. Our numerous other organizers offer storage solutions for everything and everyone. Our line of repair products allow the “do-it-yourself” person quick and easy repairs to wood, fabric, carpeting and leather.

Master’s Bottom Line is Safety

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” In our continuing efforts to keep you apprised of important safety issues concerning our products, a new education flyer has been produced. This flyer, titled “Accidents Happen,” emphasizes caster safety and the hazards worn, damaged or improper casters can cause.
The recent rise in lawsuits involving chair accidents makes us aware that too often caster safety is taken for granted.

Even when a new chair is sold, the casters supplied by the chair manufacturer must be checked to make sure they are correct for the floor surface being used. Many new chairs are equipped with hard wheel casters for use on carpeted surfaces only. Hard wheels skate and slide on hard floor surfaces. For safe rolling on chair mats, and all hard floor surfaces, soft wheel casters should be used. Soft wheels provide traction and prevent sliding. Master’s goal is to provide the information you need to understand the cause of caster-related chair accidents, provide solutions to protect you and your customers from liability and provide you the avenue to generate greater sales. Here is your opportunity to pass along invaluable information to your customer so that they can use it to protect their companies. Everyone wins.

Your sales staff has a different “door opener” to increase caster sales and the end user receives important safety knowledge that affects every one of these employees.
