Product Information
Product Overview
A recliner back mechanism sits hidden inside the back section of sofas and armchairs and changes the seating angle in steps. As the user leans back the mechanism opens and locks at the chosen position, moving from upright seating to a reclined posture in a single motion. Because it is housed inside the frame, it does not alter the outward appearance of the furniture.
Product Advantages
- A stepped lock holds intermediate positions instead of springing back.
- The metal body is built for repeated daily opening and closing.
- Applied per module, so the same system serves single, two- and three-seat units.
- Concealed inside the furniture frame and invisible from outside.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a backrest adjustment mechanism work?
As the user leans back, the mechanism opens in steps and locks wherever it is released. Pressing forward releases the lock and returns it upright — no separate lever or button is needed.
Which furniture can it be used in?
Single and modular armchairs, sofas, TV and lounge chairs, and bedroom furniture.
Is the mechanism visible from outside?
No. It is fitted inside the back frame of the seat and is hidden once upholstery is complete.
Does it need maintenance?
No routine maintenance is required. Keeping dust out of the moving area and applying a suitable lubricant if squeaking starts will extend its life.
Which sizes is the back-pull mechanism produced in?
The standard set in the 2026 catalogue is produced in 220 and 260 mm sizes, with L22 and L26 tubing. For other dimensions we manufacture on a project basis.
How many points does it bolt to the frame at?
The standard set is installed with a four-point connection. Because the force is spread across four points, no single line of screws is overloaded.
