Thank you for purchasing your Wall Bed from Wallbeds Northwest.
When purchasing a complete "Endura II DIY Kit," most of the manufacturing work is
already done for you. However, you will need to drill a few holes and possibly cut
moulding on site (if your project comes with moulding), proper tools, and the ability to
assemble the unit. Please carefully read the instructions and pay special attention to the
safety guidelines

16" Deep Cabinet will accommodate a 10" thick Mattress

Lay the door panels on the carpet or a nonabrasive surface. Set the head, foot, side rails, and
slats in their approximate positions. You will need Confirmat screws, 2 1/2" “L” brackets and
5/8" Nickel wood screws.
THE PLATFORM ASSEMBLY

Assemble the head rail and the foot rail to the side rails (rail assembly) with 2 Confirmat
screws on each corner. The side rail ends butt up to the head rail and the foot rail butts up to
the side rails. See diagram 4A. Drill a 3/16" pilot hole into all the end panels as the confirmat
screws are not self-tapping.

The platform is the part of the wall bed that holds the mattress and is pulled down from the wall. Start by
assembling the platform section. The following example is for a full size bed. Assembly for twin and
queen is the same with the exception being that the twin uses one door panel.
Note! Do Not yet Attach the Bed Face Panels to the Platform Frame.

Attach “L” Brackets as shown using 5/8" Nickel wood screws. Use only 5/8" screws when assembling the
head, side and foot rails.
HEAD
FOOT
Square the “rail” assembly on top of the Door
Panels and attach 8 “Z” brackets as shown to
ONLY the Door Panels. Do not attach the "Z"
Brackets to the Cross Slats at this time. You will be
removing the Platform Assembly from the Door
Panels in order to attach it to the Wallbed Cabinet.
You will "hang the Door Panels on the Platform
Assembly near the end of the installation. The head
rail sits flush with the edge of the door panels and
the side rails should be centered left to right with the
door panels.

THE CABINET ASSEMBLY

PAGE 7
The cabinet assembly is the section that is attached to the wall
and is what the platform folds into.
Assemble the cabinet face down on the floor. Attach the Top Back Stretcher to the Cabinet Top
and Bottom Back Stretcher to the Bottom Stretcher using Confirmat Screws. Attach the Cabinet
Top and Bottom Stretcher to the Verticals with confirmat screws. Attach the Angled Middle
Stretcher to the Bed Verticals with the Rafix Connectors. The Stretchers are mounted in between
the Verticals as shown below. The Top Front Stretcher should not be mounted until the Platform
assembly is installed. When using confirmat screws, a 3/16" pilot hole needs to be drilled
through the verticals and into the horizontal parts.

Position the cabinet against the wall where it is to be mounted. Make sure that it is square.
Locate all the studs that are behind the cabinet. Mount the cabinet to wood studs with heavy
duty 3"-4" wood screws. It is helpful to set the platform in the cabinet to check for square
before mounting all the "L" brackets. To do this, attach 2 - "L" brackets to the top of the cabinet
- one on the left and one on the right and secure to the wall with just 1 screw on each side.
Follow the instructions below for attaching the platform and close the bed to check that
everything is square. (Caution! Do not operate the bed until it is completely secured to the
wall.) If it is, then secure firmly into all studs possible. If it not, then pull the bed out and either
reposition the top of cabinet left or right into the studs or shim the cabinet as needed. The wall
bed must be mounted with large heavy duty screws with the "L" brackets on top of the Top
Stretcher or through the Top Back Stretcher, or both. 2 to 4 additional screws should be put
into each stud through the Top Back Stretcher, the Middle Stretcher(Except for the Angled
Middle Stretcher) and the Bottom Stretcher. A twin should be attached to no less than two
studs, full and queen should be three studs or more. Securing the Bed Cabinet to any side
cabinets is also recommended for additional safety. Each of the Side Cabinets - if any - should
also be attached to the studs in the wall in the same way as the Bed Cabinet.
If you have a wall that does not have wood studs, then you must attach the Bed Cabinet
securely with the appropriate Anchors.

IMPORTANT! DO NOT MOUNT WALL BED INTO DRY WALL ONLY. IT
MUST BE SECURELY FASTENED INTO ALL AVAILABLE STUDS.

Proper installation & Usage procedures must be followed to prevent
possible risk of injury or death! Wallbeds must be mounted properly and
securely to the studs in the wall as per instructions. When operating the
wallbed make sure that there is no one in or near the unit. When opening the
wallbed make sure there is no one under it and when closing the wallbed
make sure that all hands and extremities are clear of any "pinch" points.

INSTALLING PLATFORM TO CABINET
Set the Platform Section upright in front of the Wallbed Cabinet.(Note:The Front Door Panels should not be
attached at this point). Slide the Platform into the Cabinet evenly making sure to align the slots on the
mechanism as shown.

Caution!!! Be careful not to drill through the Bed Door Panels. If you are using RIgid Thermofoil Doors do
not put screws into both holes of the "L" Bracket when attaching Door Panel Faces. Usually the hole
closest to the side rail should not be used. It is best to measure the face to determine which holes to avoid.

Thank you for purchasing your wallbed from Wallbeds Northwest
Adjust the Mechanism if necessary. There is already a lot of
tension on the bed, but if it is a heavier bed or you have a heavy
mattress, you can adjust the mechanism and make the bed
easier to operate. Use a 17mm open end wrench or crescent
wrench to tighten the nut at the back of the mechanism. You can
only tighten the mechanism, not loosen it.
