DMI 5-Inch Non-Swivel Walker Wheels with Plastic Glide Caps (Pink - One Pair)
DMI® 5-Inch Walker Wheels with Rear Glide Cap Kit (Pink)
Dual 5-Inch Fixed Non-Swivel Nylon Wheels, Low-Friction Rear Plastic Glide Caps, Push-Button Height Adjustment, and Vibrant Pink Finish
Lifting a traditional stationary walker with every step requires upper-body exertion and can interrupt a smooth walking rhythm. Converting a standard folding walker into a dual-wheeled mobility aid allows users to glide fluidly over indoor carpets, doorway thresholds, and outdoor sidewalks. The DMI® 5-Inch Walker Wheels with Glide Cap Kit (Model 510-1005-0945) provides a complete aftermarket upgrade engineered to improve maneuverability while maintaining forward stability.
Designed for adult folding walkers utilizing standard 1-inch inside diameter (ID) aluminum leg tubing, this kit features two 5-inch fixed front wheel extensions and a matching pair of low-friction rear plastic glide caps. The non-swivel, fixed-alignment nylon wheels deliver reliable straight-line tracking without unexpected veering, while the rear glide caps slip over the rear legs to reduce friction and extend frame life. Finished in a high-visibility, scratch-resistant pink tone, this kit offers a stylish, practical upgrade for daily mobility independence.

Mobility Specialist Insight: Converting a standard four-legged walker to a two-wheeled setup eliminates the need to lift the walker frame completely off the ground with each step. The 5-inch wheel diameter is ideal for transitioning over door thresholds and rugs without getting caught. Fixed non-swivel wheels keep the walker moving in a straight forward direction, which provides additional lateral stability for users who require steady, linear balance support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will these wheels fit on non-DMI brand walkers?
A: Yes. While engineered to match DMI 500-1044 and 802-1044 series walkers, these wheel extensions fit any standard adult folding walker that uses 1-inch inside diameter (ID) leg tubing with push-button detents.
Q: Are these wheels 360-degree swivel casters?
A: No. These wheels are non-swivel (fixed), meaning they lock in a straight forward-and-backward tracking alignment to maximize linear stability for the user.
Q: What do the rear glide caps do?
A: The included rear plastic glide caps snap over the walker's rear leg tips. They reduce dragging friction across carpets and concrete surfaces, making it easier to push the walker without scuffing floors.
