Thank you. Bought my first ever recliner and thought it was broken. I don't remember the showroom chairs making that noise. (Your video is far better than the one put out by the Lazyboy Company.)
I bought a brand new leather and very expensive La z Boy recliner with remote control in Ocala, FL because I was anticipating shoulder surgery. Mine is squeaky right from the start! It squeaks just when I slightly rock with it, and when the reclining mechanism is driven out and in. Do they not lubricate these things when they are being built? La z boy really needs to look at their quality control. Mine was well over $2,000; closer to $3,000 even on sale!
HI, I have la-z-boy rocker, recliner gliders. They squeak when rocking or swiveling. I am ready to pitch them! I've tried wd40 on the 400 small squeak points underneath. I still have a squeak. Please, can you help?
Your technique solved the release clank sound! I uploaded my recliner sound here th-cam.com/video/AD2iimJbRsA/w-d-xo.html I just bought the Lancer rocking recliner, very comfortable, and noticed this clank sound, at the last 15+/- degrees of leg rest closed, was louder than most of the other floor models. The clank sound is even louder, abnormally louder I think, the further the back of chair is put back as it puts more release pressure as you release leg rest forward, especially if you close really slow as I was trying to prevent the clank. It almost sounded like some part was going to break in half as the lock gear slowly releases off! I am also putting pressure or sitting back, still loud. Perhaps it's a bit louder since I bought a floor model on renovation sale, and it sounds very concerning to where I was going to call for help before I break something, but your technique of pushing slightly back then releasing the last 15 degrees of leg rest works perfect. Before this I was actually putting my right foot down on floor before the last 15 degrees and pushing up slightly but your technique is more convenient. Sometimes I put foot down if I find it easier while slight push back. If I put carpet under it I believe it still will be relatively loud as it was the loudest at the store on carpet. technique is only way to avoid the issue.
I hate this chair so much. I will never buy a Lazyboy again. Good news is I am only stuck with it for about 8 more years. Then after that I can buy a chair for less money that will be comfortable and work proper.
Same here, worst recliner ever. I had so much respect for Lazy Boy furniture until I bought one of their recliners. The recline mechanism is WAY TOO LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!! It is so loud it wakes up my wife when she's taking a nap. I talked to the store manager about it. She was very respectful and polite but basically said - you got what you paid for, there is nothing we can do for you, it is what it is. Never again. I cannot recommend their manual recliners.
Having to close one eye and lift your right leg while holding your breath really isnt what I was looking for. Why can't there be a fix like some oiling product or wax to soften the clank? Hate this stupid chair.
Worst money I have EVER spent. I hate this expensive noisy awful chair. It wakes me up and startles me constantly. Of course my husband loves it. It is not conducive to a peaceful house ... do not buy one.
Now my wife and my kitty won't get rude awakenings from the clunk sounds from the last 3 years. God bless you.

This is the loudest recliner you will buy. My old recliner (not a Lazyboy) was super quiet. Wish I could return it.
Why have a video on noises then cover it up with music?

the stupidest chair or should i say clunkiest

My solution is to never buy one. They are ridiculously loud.
Still very annoying. Absolute garbage system. Do not buy!
