Install the Wall Brackets
1. Carefully working from a step stool or ladder,
determine and mark the centerlines of the wall studs
above the cabinet and extend the marks 90˚ out onto
the bed cabinet Top (2). (Mark at least two stud
locations for Twin and Full beds and at least
three for Queen beds.)
2. Along each stud centerline drawn in Step 1, mark
Drilling Location A1.
Fig.5.
3. Drill a 13/64" diameter x 5/8" deep hole at each A1
location, taking care not to drill all the way through
the bed cabinet Top (2).
4. Position a Wall Bracket (HH) at each location,
inserting the steel dowel in the hole. Mark Drilling
Locations A2, A3 and A4 on the bed cabinet Top and
Drilling Locations A5 and A6 on the wall.
Fig. 5.
5. Drill a 5/16" diameter hole through the bed cabinet
Top (2) at Drilling Location A2 on each centerline.
Fig. 6.
6. At Drilling Locations A3 and A4 on each stud
centerline, drill a 5/32" diameter x 5/8" deep pilot
hole, taking care not to drill all the way through the
cabinet Top (2).
Fig. 6.
7. At Drilling Locations A5 and A6 on the wall, drill
3/16" pilot holes for the 1/4" x 3" Washer Head Lag
Bolts (KK). Remember, each Wall Bracket (HH)
MUST attach to the wall with TWO lag bolts. Fig. 7.
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.
8. Return the Wall Brackets (HH) onto the bed cabinet
Top. Secure each bracket to the Top with two
#12 x 3/4" Washer Head Screws (JJ). Secure each
bracket to the wall by driving two 1/4" x 3" Washer
Head Lag Bolts (KK).
Fig. 7.
9. Working from inside the bed cabinet, insert a 1/4"-20
Allen Head Screw (II) into the hole on the underside
of the cabinet Top at each bracket location and thread
it into the tapped hole in the Wall Bracket (HH).
Tighten the bolt with the #4 Allen Key (NN).

Each Wall Bracket (HH) MUST be mounted flush on
the cabinet top and flush to the wall with no gap
with all six screws. Failure to do so increases the
risk of cabinet failure and serious personal injury.
