Chapter 4: Assembling the Bed Face Panel unit.
Metropolitan Murphy Beds:
On
this step, be sure not to screw
into the previously marked
screw free zone.
Position the middle support
stiffener first, centered evenly between the
“Mechanism End” and the “Leg End” and attach with
screws from hardware card #7.
Position the other two support stiffeners, centered
between the middle stiffener and the bed ends and
attach with screws from hardware card #7.
King size beds have an extra 2 stiffeners for added
strength on the “Leg End”. Position these 2 extra
stiffeners
7” from the “Leg End
. Refer to Fig. 4I.

Be careful not to cover handle holes with support
stiffeners. If you have a Metropolitan Murphy
Bed, you must not screw into the previously
marked screw free-zone. Refer to the
beginning of this Chapter if you did not mark this.

STEP 3
Critical Step
Position the frame
1/2” from
“Mechanism End” and centered
along the left and right sides
.
Attach frame to doors using
screws from hardware card #7.
We highly recommend using a bit
holder and a #2 square drive to insert screws. When
attaching screws, attach the 4 corners first, which will
help keep the frame aligned. The position of the frame
over the doors is crucial, so double check alignment as
you insert screws.
Full, Queen and King beds: Make sure the doors are
pushed together so there’s no gap between the doors
and they are even on the ends. It can be helpful to add
a strip of tape between the doors.
If you have trouble with screws being inserted at an angle or improperly, using a
bit holder
on your drill will keep your screws vertical and use a
#2 square drive
to
prevent screws from breaking or camming out.
