WALLBED Assembly Instructions

First – a few words of advice and caution:

1. Please do this job with two people. Attempting to do it alone, though heroic, could lead to

product damage or injury because some things can be too heavy for just one person to safely

handle. With two people, the job will be much smoother and safer.

2. Please read and follow the instructions carefully, as it will save time and avoid possible

incorrect installation of the product.

3. Please do not over-tighten screws and bolts, as it may lead to “stripping” the threads and

make the connection weak. The best rule of thumb is “snug is good”.

4. If you will be installing your Murphy Bed on a hard surface such as stone, hardwood floor, tile,

(not carpet), please lay down sufficient padding (such as blankets, comforters, etc.) to protect

the wood parts of your wallbed from the floor, and vice-versa.

5. Before you begin your installation, PLEASE take a few minutes to WATCH our helpful assembly

EXAMPLE BOXES

STEP 1: SETTING UP THE BED CASE

FROM BUBBLE PACK #1, FOUND IN BOX #1, Please use the 11 bolts and barrel nuts, along with the #5 Allen Wrench and/or #5 Allen Head for Power

Drill (the larger ones) to assemble the Bed Case as shown below.

1A – Lay out the parts from boxes 1 and 2as shown. YOU ARE BUILDING THE BED CASE FACE-DOWN. The notches in the back of the side panels

must be toward the wall where the bed will go, and 20 inches away from the wall.

ASSEMBLY SEQUENCE

Using the bolts & barrel

nuts:

Begin by attaching the

top panel with the top

crown molding facing

down to the floor as

shown.

Next – attach the small

“top-back” panel as

shown.

Last – attach the larger

back panel in the

center. PLEASE NOTE:

There is a groove in this

panel – Please orient

this panel so that the

groove is toward the top

of the wallbed and NOT

toward the wall.(It will

look nicer that way.)

HELPFUL HINT: Remember – if

you are installing on a hard

tile/stone/wood floor, be sure

to lay down some blankets to

avoid damage.

Use Dowels to

guide panels

into position.

1B– Stand the assembled Bed Case up and move to the desired position against the wall. Use screws to install the door stops from

Bubble #1 on bed case side panels.

OPERATION SEQUENCE

(Before you do this – check AGAIN that

there is at least 20 inches from the wall to

the side panels.)

Begin with TWO PEOPLE standing at the top

corners of the bed case.

Next – Each person grasps the top crown

molding with one hand.

Next – LIFTING WITH YOUR LEGS – NOT YOUR

BACK – stand the bed case up.

Next – Grasping the side panel on each

side, carefully lift and adjust the bed case

back to the wall.

Last – Measure space on either side for

Bookcases (if purchased). Stand back and

assure that you like how the wallbed looks

there. Gently lift and make adjustments as

needed.

BE SURE – Take your time, because you’re

not going to want to move it again once it

is fully installed.

STEP 2: SETTING UP AND INSTALLING THE SPRING BASE

The best results will be achieved by following these instructions carefully.

TOOLS YOU WILL NEED TO SUPPLY:

1. A power drill gun with a #2 Phillips head,

2. A tape measure or ruler.

STEP 2A – Please measure the thickness of your base molding as shown on the figure here:

Please write this English Fraction or Millimeter measurement here____________, we will use this number in a few minutes.

STEP 2B - In box # 3, please collect the spring carriage frame, the left and right flange arms, the two spacer-brackets,

(and if you have no baseboard, you will also need the two flange spacer blocks.)

From bubble pack #2, please take out the 4 wing bolts.

MEASURE THICKNESS

OF BASE MOLDING

Helpful Hint:

If you are installing on

a hard floor – you may

have a small half-inch

round molding at the

bottom of your

baseboard. This

smaller molding will

have to be cut and

removed where the left

and right flanges will

touch flush against the

baseboard.

2 pieces

Wing Bolt

4 pieces

STEP 2C – You will notice that the left and right flange arms can be attached to the spring carriage in two positions

– and this is where the base-board thickness measurement comes in:

OPTIONS:

1. If you have no base board or ¼” baseboard – you will use the pre-drilled wood Flange Spacer Blocks – and you will use the “extended”

position.

2. If your base board is 1/4” to 3/8 inch – you will use the “extended” position without the Flange Spacer Block.

3. If your base board is more than 1/2 inch – you will use the “tight” position.

Helpful Hint:

DO NOT use the Wing bolts yet

– this page is ONLY about

figuring out the correct way to

configure the Spring Base!

This is the correct Technique

when you have:

1. No baseboard

2. A thin plastic coped runner

3. A carpet toe-kick

4. A wooden baseboard less than 3/8” thick.

Extended

Position

Use the Extended Position and the

spacer block when your base board is

between Zero(none) and 1/4” thick.

Extended

Position

Position

STEP 2D – Connect Flange arms to the Spring Carriage Frame using the four Wing Bolts, and

Carefully place the Spring Carriage Frame into the bed case (don’t scratch the wood)

STEP 2E- Install the assembled Spring Base into the “Base Plate” at floor level inside your wall.

First – A word about the “Base Plate”.

Most everybody knows what a “two-by-four” is; it’s a piece of wood that is about 1.5” thick and 3.5”wide, and usually quite long unless cut.

But, unless a person has worked in the construction trades, or seen homes under construction, one would not often know that there is a 2x4 lying

flat on the floor inside your walls.

This is the “base plate” that is supporting all the vertical 2x4’s that are behind the drywall or plaster in your walls. This base plate is nailed

into the floor, and with all the vertical 2/4’s on top of it – which end up carrying the weight of the roof – the base plate has the entire weight of the

house resting on it.

We are going to hang your wallbed on the base plate – which is a very, very stable and virtually immovable part of your house.

First: Use two Allen-head bolts to attach the

desk support panels to each side. There are

“left” and “right” desk support panels, so be

sure you install them as shown with the desk

support rod toward the inside, and the

curved corner of each panel facing up.

Second: Use four larger male/female

connectors to attach the desk top to the face

of the bed tray. One person can hold the

desk top vertically above the hinge knuckles

as shown, while another person attaches the

two outer hinges on each side first. Then

continue to the two center hinges.

Third: Using the four smaller male/female

connectors, attach the Rod Plate of the desk

APPENDIX 1 – Mounting your Murphy Bed to a concrete wall (such as is often found in a basement).

If you have either brick or masonry WITHOUT DRYWALL - We recommend the TAPCON Concrete Screw System, model 3/16” x 2.1/4” flat-head

screw. You can find this product at:

HOME DEPOT: model# 24372, Internet sku# 202516426, store sku# 156942 (this item comes with the drill bit needed)

LOWES: model# 24360, item# 61657 AND you will also need a 4” or longer 5/32 concrete drill bit separately.

** You can watch informational video on installing Tapcon Screws into concrete, brick, or other masonry at:

www.confast.com/articles/install-concrete-screws.aspx

If you have DRYWALL ON TOP OF THE MASONRY – We recommend the TAPCON 3/16” x 2.3/4” concrete anchor.

HOME DEPOT: model# 24310, internet# 100170162, store sku# 155764

LOWES: model# 24310 item #79361

We believe these come with the appropriate 5/32 drill bit.

Installing screws into masonry will require the use of a “hammer drill” to drill the pilot hole – not a normal drill gun – so you may want to start

calling “handy” friends to see if they possess this tool.

When you drill the holes for installation into masonry – you can use the 3 holes in the flange arm as a guide, and otherwise follow the same

instructions as shown in STEP 2F.

WARNINGS FOR YOUR SAFETY:

1. THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED QUEEN SIZE MATTRESS WEIGHT IS 80 LBS.

2. WHEN MOVING/REMOVING YOUR MATTRESS:

a. Once you have completed step 3C, you have installed sufficient springs to make your bed tray move up and down smoothly with

your mattress on the bed tray.

b. DANGER: If the weight of the mattress were not on the bed tray after you have installed 10 to 14 springs, the springs are strong

enough to lift the empty bed tray to the vertical position very quickly – which could result in an injury if a person were struck by the

fast moving tray.

c. To avoid the chance of injury when removing or changing your mattress,YOU MUST FIRST REMOVE ALL BUT TWO SPRINGS BEFORE

REMOVING THE MATTRESS.
