You will be installing a lock on
one side,

so allow 2.5” in addition

on each side of the cut-out—for
plates. Add an additional inch (3.5”)
for the lock side from a solid wall.

The placement of this leg bracket
is fine. If it were a wall, it would
be too close. Clearance is need-
ed for the”bone” in the unlocked
position.

IMPORTANT:

Planning Ahead

If you are installing flipIT into an assembled desk, see if it is possible to remove
the desktop to make the cut-out. If that is not possible, take care to make a work
environment that will protect the surface finish of your furniture and will be safe for
operating power tools.

The recommended placement of the cutout for the flipIT unit is 6 inches from the
user’s edge. This assumes a straight edge; not a round or contoured edge.

If you are experimenting with placement for an unusual application, we
recommend requesting additional templates and making dry-fit installa-
tions into scrap.

Based on this profile, a minimum of 24 inches of clearance, front to back, must
be allowed for the mechanism.

For FIL-18, use 30 inch
spacing from centerline to
centerline, or from common
reference point as shown on
the drawing (from right edge
of cut-out to right edge of
cut-out).

For FIL-23, use 33 inch
spacing, maintaining no less
than 8 inches between
cutouts.

For best long-term results,
consider placing a leg sup-
port or vertical panel
between cutouts to support
the top.
