Getting started
1. Assemble all the tools listed and clear your working space
2. Measure the space to ensure your wall can accommodate the Rack
3. Recruit a work partner to assist with steps that require holding the Rack
Locate studs
Notes when mounting
1. The Murphy Rack is designed to be mounted to wooden studs with standard 16” or 24”
spacing, with or without drywall
2. For mounting your rack to a wall with non-standard stud spacing, we typically recommend
using a stringer board. Please email us at [email protected] to verify this option
is the best solution for you
3. PRx recommends professional installation for mounting the wall brackets to a block,
concrete, or metal stud wall
Locating studs
1.
Using a stud finder, locate the rightmost stud where you intend to install the right side of your
Rack
2. Begin at the height of your lower wall bracket (below knee level)
3.
With a stud finder, locate both the left and right edge of the stud and mark them with a pencil
4. Mark the center of the stud between the edges with a pencil
5. Find and mark the same stud at the height of both wall brackets (below knee level, and
slightly above eye level)
6. Locate and mark the remaining three studs in the same fashion (If your studs are spaced 24”
you will only locate two additional studs)
Assemble Uprights
1. Place an Upright Plate (2) inside of a Bottom Upright (1B)
piece, align the four holes of the two pieces, loosely secure the
Upright Plate to the Bottom Upright using four Tap Screws (6)
* The difference between the Bottom Upright (1B) and the
Top Upright (1A) is that the Bottom Upright has a foot plug
2. Repeat with Top Upright (1A)
3. Slide the two upright pieces together so the Upright Plates (2)
align with the holes of the other upright. Secure the Upright
Plates (2) to both the Top and Bottom Upright pieces using
eight more Tap Screws (6)
4. Tighten all Tap Screws (6)
5. Repeat with next upright
