Description

Upgrade Your Herman Miller Aeron Classic Chair with the Flip Knob Lever Kit

A convenient arm height adjustment upgrade for pre 2004 Aeron Classic chairs that use the thumbwheel arm bolt connection.

Notice

This kit is only compatible with pre 2004 models that have the thumbwheel arm bolt or for upgrading a thumbwheel arm to the flip knob style. It is not compatible with chairs that already have the flip knob design from post 2004. Please check your chair arm adjustment mechanism before purchasing.

About the flip knob mechanism

Tilt tension adjustment Located under the seat, this mechanism lets you modify the tilt tension by turning it clockwise or counterclockwise so you can choose your preferred resistance when leaning back.
Customized comfort Tailored to let you set a personal level of support for everyday use.

You do not need special tools or expertise. Watch the simple guide below and follow along.

Common questions

Will this work on post 2004 Aeron Classic chairs

No. It is not compatible with chairs that already have the original flip knob design from post 2004.

How do I know if my chair has the thumbwheel arm bolt

Check the arm height adjustment point. Pre 2004 chairs use a thumbwheel arm bolt connection. This kit is for that setup and for converting that thumbwheel to the flip knob style.

Do I need special tools

No special tools are required. Follow the included guidance and the installation video.

Upgrade your pre 2004 Aeron Classic with a flip knob lever kit designed for thumbwheel arm bolt chairs and enjoy easier arm height control.

This terrific kit made me glad my Aeron chair arm fell off!

I’ve had my Aeron chair over 28 years. A few weeks ago an arm fell off while I was adjusting the arm height and tightening the old thumb wheel lock. Not surprised, because one of the most annoying things for years has been having to constantly re-adjust and tighten both arms repeatedly, several times a week.

No more! The Flip-Knob conversion kit made it easy not only to repair my chair but to replace both of the old thumbscrews. Once adjusted, both arms stay put. Neither arm has slipped at all in nearly two weeks.

My only regret is that I didn’t find this kit years ago. Thanks!

Exactly what I needed

I wasn’t sure how I was going to fix my Aeron from 2000 when one of the knobs broke. I stumbled on this kit searching for parts and figured I’d give it a try… it works perfectly, and I like the levers a lot better than the knobs.

We did need more tools than the video indicated, though. It only mentioned one hex bit, but the chair back screws and the replacement parts needed 2 different sized hex bits, and the screws in the old knobs need a Torx bit.

Great upgrade from the older wheel lock mechanism

Great upgrade, works as advertised. Does take a slight bit of skill and tools to install, but the installation video provides the procedure. Might take a couple tries to get the tension correct, but it's easy to adjust once installed.

Excellent parts

Great replacement for the original thumbwheels; so good that I ordered a second kit for another Aeron I have. One problem was getting the right tension on both arms, so I recommend trying to wiggle the arms before putting the back on (it took me three tries to get the tension right). The video also should mention that the original parts need a T27 torx bit to get them off; a 5mm hex works to remove the chair back and install the new kit. It probably would be much wiser to recommend using manual hex and torx keys than to use a power drill/driver (as shown in the instruction video) so as to not don't ruin the bolts or strip the chair back holes.

Great Product

Worked perfectly in my older Herman Miller Aeron. Back to work…thanks!
