2. Position the unit at the desired location. Locate one stud in the wall behind the unit. A strong
small magnet is helpful to locate the studs in the wall. The magnet will help you find the nails or
screws used to attach the wall to the studs. When you have found a screw you have found a
stud. Studs are usually 16" on center. Choose the wooden stud which is closest to the center of
your case. Attach a Clip (T1) to the wall stud with #8 x 2" Black Screws (T3). See Figure 2a.
The clip attached to the furniture must penetrate solid wood such as a frame member behind the
back, the top, an apron or a leg. Do not attach where it will be screwed only into the thin back
panel. See the instruction for your individual furniture piece for recommended attachment point.
Attach a second clip to the unit with #6 x 5/8" Philtruss Screw (T5). See Figure 2b. Connect the
two clips with the Nylon Zip-Tie (T2). Pull the Nylon Zip-Tie (T2) tight so there is no slack.
See Figures 2c and 2d. We have included an extra Nylon Zip-Tie in your kit; if you should need
to move your furniture cut the Zip-Tie that you are using and replace with the extra Zip-Tie when
the furniture is back in place.
The screws attaching your furniture to the wall must be inserted
into a wall stud. Do not attempt to use wall anchors.
