Keep Your Frame Safe
Walking frames wear out. Worn ferrules, wrong height, and loose parts create fall risk. Regular checks keep you safe.

🔧 DIY Tips
Checking your walking frame yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 What you'll need
- Replacement ferrules (right size)
- Tape measure for height
- Good lighting
📐 Check list
- Look at ferrules for wear
- Check all joints tight
- Test brakes if fitted
- Correct height at wrist level
- Check wheels roll smoothly
⚠️ Warning signs
- Smooth or cracked ferrules
- Loose joints
- Brakes not holding
- Frame wobbling
💡 Pro tip: The top of the frame should be at wrist height when you stand upright with arms relaxed. Too high causes shoulder strain, too low causes stooping.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do you check?
Frame condition, ferrule wear, height setting, brake function (if applicable), and general safety. Everything that affects safe use.
What are ferrules?
The rubber feet on the frame legs. They wear down and lose grip. Worn ferrules slip - one of the most common problems we see.
Do you supply replacement parts?
We carry common ferrules and can replace them on the spot. Unusual sizes may need ordering.
How often should I check my frame?
Every few months, or whenever something feels wrong. Ferrules should be checked regularly - they wear down gradually.
