Re: Hancock and Moore recliner
Sounds like you have a manual wall-hugger recliner. On these kind of units you have to overcome the spring to close them. Bad idea to get out of the unit and then close it, that will eventually cause the mechanism to fail. Don't push down with your thighs to close the recliner, use the heels of your feet and "Snap" it down. Most people that can't close these are not swinging their feet down, but pushing down into the seat and you won't get the leverage that way. This is why I always recommend power units for all wall-hugger recliners as well.
