1. Measuring and cutting to size

Measure the width of the space you require the shelf

and hanging rail to span. If this is less than the length of

the shelf supplied, cut the shelf and longest shelf bearer

down to the length required.

TIP When cutting the shelf and shelf bearer to length

use masking tape along the cut lines to prevent the

laminate surface from chipping. Carefully remove

the tape after you have nished cutting.

2. Fixing the shelf bearers and shelf

The shelf should be positioned so that its underside

is at a height of 1750mm above the oor of the

wardrobe. Using a spirit level, draw a pencil line on the

back and side walls at this height to indicate where the

underside of the shelf will sit.

On each of the shelf bearers, mark the position for

drilling pilot holes for xing the bearers to the back and

side walls of the wardrobe – see the diagram on page 2.

We advise that the pilot holes are countersunk so once

This information sheet provides details of how to install an internal high level shelf with hanging rail and centre

support pole. Please take time to read it through fully prior to the installation of your sliding wardrobe doors.

in place self adhesive cover caps will t neatly over the

screw heads.

Position the longest bearer against the back wall with

its top edge level with the pencil line you have already

marked. Using a bradawl through the pilot holes, mark

the back wall with the positions for drilling the holes for

the wallplugs. Remove the bearer and drill the holes in

the back wall using a 6mm masonry drill bit. Push the

wallplugs rmly into the holes, oer up the shelf bearer

again and secure it in place using the 40mm screws.

Repeat this process to x the two side shelf bearers in

place.

Slide the shelf into position and ensure that it is sitting

rmly on all three shelf bearers. After the cente support

pole has been positioned and xed in place (see

4. Fixing the centre support pole), we recommend

that, for additional security, the shelf is screwed to the

shelf bearers. This can be done from the top side of the

shelf using the 30mm screws provided. We recommend

drilling and counter-sinking pilot holes for these screws

to achieve a neat nished appearance.

3. Fixing the hanging rail

To ensure the hanging rail is positioned correctly, use

the paper drilling template supplied. See the diagrams

1and 2opposite to help you position the drilling

template correctly for each side of the hanging rail. TIP

TIP You may wish to mark the positions for the pilot

holes on the left hand and right hand shelf

bearers with a bradawl, remove the template and

then drill the holes; rather than drilling the pilot

holes directly through the paper template.

Once the pilot holes are drilled, place the hanging rail

brackets in position (ensuring the U-shaped cup is at

the bottom) and screw each one in place through the

top and bottom holes, using the 15mm screws

provided.

Measure the distance between the inside edges of each

of the hanging rail brackets and cut the rail to the same

length. The hanging rail can then be placed in position

and should sit securely in the U-shaped cups of the

brackets.

4. Fixing the centre support pole

The support pole should be positioned centrally under

the shelf. To ensure the pilot hole for the top support

pole bracket is positioned correctly, use the paper

drilling template supplied – see diagram 3 to help you.

TIP For the top bracket, on the underside of the shelf,

you may wish to mark the position for the pilot

hole rst with a bradawl, remove the template and

then drill the hole; rather than drilling the pilot

hole directly through the paper template.

When drilling the pilot hole take care not to drill

completely through the shelf.

Once the pilot hole is drilled, place the support pole in

position, ensuring the U-shaped cup on the top bracket

is facing the front of the wardrobe (this will mean that

the U-shaped cup on the bottom bracket is facing the

back of the wardrobe) and secure in place through the

available hole in the bracket, using a 15mm screw.

Using a spirit level, ensure that the pole is positioned

vertically when viewed from the front and from the

side. Drill a 2mm pilot hole through the hole in the

bottom bracket into the oor of the wardrobe and then

secure the bottom bracket in place using another

15mm screw.

Finally, as described above in (2), secure the shelf to the

shelf bearers using the 30mm screws provided.
