Inspect and tighten bolts on reading room chairs to remove play and prevent sudden failure. Run this routine monthly or whenever a chair is reported wobbly.
Several chairs in the reading room have detectable seat or back play and some fasteners show no recent torque markings.
Fasteners vary between chairs (Phillips, Allen, hex) and some heads are recessed or capped; a few bolts may be partially rounded or previously overtightened, which slows identification and access.
All seat and back fasteners that were loose are secured, previously wobbly chairs no longer shift when sat on, and torque or adjustment notes are recorded for each serviced chair.

- 01 Collect tools and set up checklistGather the wrench sets, torque wrench, flashlight, rag, and clipboard; open a checklist and note the reading room zones to inspect.⏱ 5분
- 02 Quick wobble test and mark chairsWalk each chair, sit and gently rock to detect seat or back movement; mark chairs that wobble on the checklist with location or ID.⏱ 5분
- 03 Identify fastener types and access issuesAt each marked chair, inspect each fastener head type and exposure, clean debris from heads, and note any rounded or capped bolts that need extra tools or attention.⏱ 5분
- 04 Tighten fasteners and record torqueFor each identified loose fastener, hand-start and tighten with the correct tool, then apply the torque wrench to the manufacturer spec if available or tighten until there is no play and record the final torque or adjustment in the checklist.⏱ 10분
- 05 Verify stability and tidy upRe-test each serviced chair for wobble to confirm stability, return tools to their storage, and file the completed checklist with notes on any damaged fasteners needing replacement.⏱ 5분
