If the problem persists, consult the manufacturer's manual or contact customer service for further assistance.
To adjust a Simmons recliner, locate the recline lever or button typically found on the side of the chair. Pull the lever up or press the button to recline the backrest, and release it to stop at your desired angle.

I just had to replace my springs and found that BarcaLounger only sends to dealers. So...you need to contact the place you purchased your recliner from or take your style number (there is a green and white tag affixed to the bottom of your footrest) to any dealer who sells BarcaLounger furniture. I paid $12.00 for my set of springs, but I'm sure the prices can vary. GOOD LUCK!!
A recliner chair works by using a mechanism that allows the backrest to tilt back and the footrest to rise, providing a comfortable position for the user to relax and recline. Typically, a lever or button is used to control the reclining function of the chair.
If your recliner is hard to close, first check for any obstructions or debris in the mechanism or around the footrest that might be causing it to jam. You can also try lubricating the moving parts with a silicone spray or furniture lubricant to ease the motion. If the recliner has a lever or handle, ensure that you are pulling or pushing it correctly according to the design. If the problem persists, it may be helpful to consult the manufacturer's instructions or seek professional repair assistance.
The plural form of footrest is footrests.
Franklin does not have a tension adjust on their recliners. Franklin, as with most motion furniture companies, design their furniture with the assumption that the user possesses enough body strength to engage and fold the recliner back in place. Most Franklin recliners come with two types of manual engaging mechanisms: cable and lever. Most people have difficulty with the cable style because the springs in the mechanism are made larger to enable the footrest to kick out with minimal effort. However, I am going to assume that you are having problems closing the footrest. You can try using lighter tension springs, however remember those springs give you the positive footrest engagement and changing that will effect whether or not your footrest remains in the closed position. The best solution is to lubricate all of the pivot points on the mechanism with a silicone spray. That will give you a smoother action, perhaps enough to solve your problem. Additionally, the cable (rip cord style or recessed mount) are spring loaded. Frequently these handles are difficult to engage because the cable is defective or a component in the mechanism is bent.

One of the most important things to consider when purchasing lift chair recliners is the number of motors in the chair. Many of the chairs only have one motor. With this type, the back will have to be reclined before the footrest will move. These are typically called either two or three position recliners. Those who want a footrest that moves independently of the back will need to purchase a lift chair with two motors. This type is called an infinite position recliner.
