Stabilizing rocker recliners
We have two Thomas Paine rocker recliners on circular metal bases in our Jayco. They swivel and slide. My husband doesn't like his chair moving. I've contacted the manufacturer to see if there is any...

I would be cautious about drilling holes in the metal frame. I had a set of household swivel rockers that I returned after they bent within a week. Yes my kids were spinning on them, but I would be worried about compromising the strength of the frame and making a weak spot. I would think clamps may work to lock the mechanism in place, but I agree pics would help figure that out.

Two or three clear, well focused photographs of the swivel/rocking mechanism wold help. I would need to see the chair and mechanism (pictures) but I do not think there is a really simple way of locking and unlocking the movement of the mechanism. If your husband wants to permanently stop the rocking motion, it is probably as simple as drilling a hole in the mechanism and putting a hardened bolt in the hole.
