First – a few words of advice and caution:
1. Please do this job with two people. Attempting to do it alone, though heroic, could lead to
product damage or injury because some things can be too heavy for just one person to safely
handle. With two people, the job will be much smoother and safer.
2. Please read and follow the instructions carefully, as it will save time and avoid possible incorrect
installation of the product.
3. Please do not over-tighten screws and bolts, as it may lead to “stripping” the threads and make
the connection weak. The best rule of thumb is “snug is good”.
4. If you will be installing your Murphy Bed on a hard surface such as stone, hardwood floor, tile,
(not carpet), please lay down sufficient padding (such as blankets, comforters, etc.) to protect
the wood parts of your wallbed from the floor, and vice-versa.
5. Before you begin your installation, PLEASE take a few minutes to WATCH our helpful assembly
VIDEO which is available for viewing online at www.wallbedgallery.com/video

STEP 1: SETTING UP THE BED CASE
FROM BUBBLE PACK #1, FOUND IN BOX #1, Please use the 11 bolts and barrel nuts, along with the #5 Allen Wrench and/or #5 Allen Head for Power
Drill (the larger ones) to assemble the Bed Case as shown below.
1A– Lay out the parts from boxes 1, 2A & 2B as shown, with the doors folded against the side panels. YOU ARE BUILDING THE BED CASE
FACE-DOWN. The notches in the back of the side panels must be toward the wall where the bed will go, and 20 inches away from the wall.
ASSEMBLY SEQUENCE
Using the bolts & barrel
nuts:
Begin by attaching the
top panel with the top
crown molding facing
down to the floor as
shown.
Next – attach the small
“top-back” panel as
shown.
Last – attach the larger
back panel in the
center. PLEASE NOTE:
There is a groove in this
panel – Please orient this
panel so that the groove
is toward the top of the
wallbed and NOT
toward the wall. (It will
look nicer that way.)
HELPFUL HINT: Remember
–
if
you are installing on a hard
tile/stone/wood floor, be sure
to lay down some blankets to
avoid damage.
Use Dowels to
guide panels
into position.

OPERATION SEQUENCE
(Before you do this – check AGAIN that
there is at least 20 inches from the wall to
the side panels.)
Begin with TWO PEOPLE standing at the top
corners of the bed case.
Next – Each person grasps the top crown
molding with one hand, and steadies the
folded doors against the side panel with the
other.
Next – LIFTING WITH YOUR LEGS – NOT YOUR
BACK – stand the bed case up.
Next – Grasping the side panel and doors at
each side, carefully lift and adjust the bed
case back to the wall.
Last – Measure space on either side for
Bookcases (if purchased). Stand back and
assure that you like how the wallbed looks
there. Gently lift and make adjustments as
needed.
BE SURE – Take your time, because you’re
not going to want to move it again once it is
fully installed.

STEP 2: SETTING UP AND INSTALLING THE SPRING BASE
The best results will be achieved by following these instructions carefully.
TOOLS YOU WILL NEED TO SUPPLY:
1. A power drill gun with a #2 Phillips head,
2. A tape measure or ruler.
STEP 2A – Please measure the thickness of your base molding as shown on the figure here:
Please write this English Fraction or Millimeter measurement here____________, we will use this number in a few minutes.
STEP 2B - In box #1 and # 3, please collect the spring carriage frame, the left and right flange arms, the two spacer-brackets,
(and if you have no baseboard, you will also need the two flange spacer blocks.)
From bubble pack #2, please take out the 4 wing bolts.

STEP 2C – You will notice that the left and right flange arms can be attached to the spring carriage in two positions
– and this is where the base-board thickness measurement comes in:
OPTIONS:
1. If you have no base board or ¼” baseboard – you will use the pre-drilled wood Flange Spacer Blocks – and you will use the “extended”
position.
2. If your base board is 3/8” to 1/2 inch – you will use the “extended” position without the Flange Spacer Block.
3. If your base board is more than 1/2 inch – you will use the “tight” position.

This is the correct Technique
when you have:
1. No baseboard
2. A thin plastic coped runner
3. A carpet toe-kick
4. A wooden baseboard less than 3/8” thick.

Extended
Position
Use the Extended Position and the
spacer block when your base board is
between Zero (none) and 1/4” thick.

STEP 2D– Connect Flange arms and Spacer Brackets to the Spring Carriage Frame using the four Wing Bolts, and
Carefully place the Spring Carriage Frame into the bed case (don’t scratch the wood), then use Wing Bolts to attach the
spacer brackets on each side. (Do not attach the spacer bracket to the side panel yet!)
STEP 2E - Install the assembled Spring Base into the “Base Plate” at floor level inside your wall.
First – A word about the “Base Plate”.
Most everybody knows what a “two-by-four” is; it’s a piece of wood that is about 1.5” thick and 3.5”wide, and usually quite long unless cut.
But, unless a person has worked in the construction trades, or seen homes under construction, one would not often know that there is a 2x4 lying
flat on the floor inside your walls.
This is the “base plate” that is supporting all the vertical 2x4’s that are behind the drywall or plaster in your walls. This base plate is nailed into
the floor, and with all the vertical 2/4’s on top of it – which end up carrying the weight of the roof – the base plate has the entire weight of the house
resting on it.
We are going to hang your wallbed on the base plate – which is a very, very stable and virtually immovable part of your house.

APPENDIX 1 – Mounting your Murphy Bed to a concrete wall (such as is often found in a basement).
If you have either brick or masonry WITHOUT DRYWALL - We recommend the TAPCON Concrete Screw System, model 3/16” x 2.1/4” flat-head
screw. You can find this product at:
HOME DEPOT: model# 24372, Internet sku# 202516426, store sku# 156942 (this item comes with the drill bit needed)
LOWES: model# 24360, item# 61657 AND you will also need a 4” or longer 5/32 concrete drill bit separately.
** You can watch informational video on installing Tapcon Screws into concrete, brick, or other masonry at:
www.confast.com/articles/install-concrete-screws.aspx
If you have DRYWALL ON TOP OF THE MASONRY – We recommend the TAPCON 3/16” x 2.3/4” concrete anchor.
HOME DEPOT: model# 24310, internet# 100170162, store sku# 155764
LOWES: model# 24310 item #79361
We believe these come with the appropriate 5/32 drill bit.
Installing screws into masonry will require the use of a “hammer drill” to drill the pilot hole – not a normal drill gun – so you may want to start calling
“handy” friends to see if they possess this tool.
When you drill the holes for installation into masonry – you can use the 3 holes in the flange arm as a guide, and otherwise follow the same
instructions as shown in STEP 2F.
WARNINGS FOR YOUR SAFETY:
1. THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED MATTRESS WEIGHT IS 100 LBS. FOR QUEEN SIZE, AND 70 LBS FOR Twin-XL SIZE.
2. WHEN MOVING/REMOVING YOUR MATTRESS:
a. Once you have completed step 3C, you have installed sufficient springs to make your bed tray move up and down smoothly with
your mattress on the bed tray.
b. DANGER: If the weight of the mattress were not on the bed tray after you have installed 10 to 14 springs, the springs are strong
enough to lift the empty bed tray to the vertical position very quickly – which could result in an injury if a person were struck by the
fast moving tray.
c. To avoid the chance of injury when removing or changing your mattress, YOU MUST FIRST REMOVE ALL BUT TWO SPRINGS BEFORE
REMOVING THE MATTRESS.
