Secure the Cabinet to the Wall
1. With the help of another adult, move the bed cabinet to
the installation site. If the wall where you want to
install the cabinet has base molding, cut the molding
to allow the cabinet to sit flush to the wall.
2. Position the bed cabinet up against the wall.
3. Determine and mark the locations of wall studs using
a stud finder on the Upper and Lower Headboards (3
and 4). (Mark at least two stud locations for Twin
and Full beds and at least three for Queen beds.)
4. Make a cross mark at each stud location 3" down
from the top of the Upper Headboard (3) and 3" up
from the bottom of the Lower Headboard (4). Drill
3/16" diameter pilot holes through the headboards
and into the wall and studs.

To avoid
the risk of serious injury,
you MUST locate wooden
studs in your wall using a
stud finder and install lag
bolts securely into them.
>
Cabinets for Twin and Full beds MUST be secured,
using all required hardware, to at least two (2) wall
studs; cabinets for Queen beds MUST be secured
to at least three (3) wall studs.
>
All 1/4" x 3" Washer Head Lag Bolts (KK) MUST be
secured into wooden wall studs. Failure to secure
the unit into wooden wall studs increases the
chance that the bed cabinet will detach and tip over,
potentially resulting in serious injury.
>
Do NOT use wall anchors or drywall anchors.
>
Do NOT install against brick or masonry walls
or walls with metal studs.
>
Do NOT use an impact driver to drive fasteners;
the added torque of an impact driver increases
the risk of stripping the pilot holes and weakening
connections. Do NOT overtighten screws.
>
Wall Bracket placement on images in these
instructions is for illustration purposes only. To
avoid the risk of serious injury, you MUST correctly
locate and securely attach brackets to studs in
your wall.
5. Drive 1/4" x 3" Washer Head Lag Bolts (KK) through
the pilot holes and into the wall studs to fully secure
the headboards.
Check the front edges of the bed
cabinet with a level to be sure they’re plumb. If they
aren’t, use shims behind the cabinet on both sides to
make them plumb.
