Repeat step 2 with the Left Side
Board and Lift Mechanism.
IMPORTANT! Over tightening the nuts will
pull the head of the bolt too deeply into the
Side Board. Tighten only until the head of the
bolt is flush with the surface of the Side Board .
Step 2: Install the Lift Mechanism to
the right Side Board first by inserting a
5/16 x 1 1/4” Tapered Allen head Bolt
through holes A, B, C and D from the
outside (countersunk holes) of the Side
Board. The bolt then goes through the
corresponding holes of the Right Lift
Mechanism as illustrated. Thread on
four 5/16” Nylock nuts and tighten
hardware. (hole A may have threaded
collar instead of bolt)

Step 3: Install Springs in the Lift Mechanisms
HELPFUL HINT: Watch how to do this process at:
IMPORTANT! Be sure that holes
of the Mounting Plate correspond
to the holes in the Tension Arm
and use the same number of
springs and the same configura-
tion on both Lift Mechanisms
Repeat Step 3 for Left Lift Mechanism.
Install the first spring in hole #5 (if mechanism has some pre-loaded springs from the factory, remove lower springs first)
on both the Mounting Plate and the Tension Arm. Hook one end of the spring under the upturned edge of the Mounting
Plate first then lay the spring down and slide it under the matching hole in the Tension Arm. See illustration 1.
Continue by working up one hole in
the lifting mechanism, then down one
hole alternating back and forth until all
springs are loaded.
NOTE: After you have completed installing and checking operation of your Wall bed, you
may find it necessary to add or remove springs to achieve the correct lift effort of between
5 and 10 pounds.
The required number of springs in the Lift Mechanisms varies with the different weights of
mattresses. If you purchased your mattress with your bed from Wilding Wallbeds refer to the
chart to the right. This will also be a good reference point for mattresses not purchased with
your Wall bed.
(Some springs may be pre-installed)

HELPFUL HINT: the “Head Rail”
refers to the end that is closest to the
Bed Cabinet during assembly and
will be where your head is while
sleeping.
Note: Number of
face panels will vary
depending on bed
model. But will typi-
cally be either 2 or 4
Step 8: Locate the Front Panel(s) and
lay them on the floor FACE DOWN
(finished side). Position them in
front of where the Bed Cabinet was
installed in the last step and leave
enough room to work around them.
Note that the holes for bed handles
are arranged together and more away
from the wall the Bed Cabinet is
installed against.

Important note: It is critical to orient the Bed Face panels and the Mattress Rails in the next 5 steps correctly. All of the render-
ings (drawings) in the next 5 steps assume that you are looking away from the wall you just installed the Bed Cabinet against
in the previous step. There is a note under each of the following renderings indicating “your bed cabinet installed on this side”
which indicates that is where the Bed Cabinet is in relation to the face panels and rails.

Step 10: From hardware pack 3 locate the hardware shown above. Finger
tighten the hardware as shown in illustration 7 connecting the Foot Rail to the
Side Rail using the 4 hole corner bracket. Note the lower hole on each Side
Rail uses the Leg Stop with the longer screw (1 1/4” Machine). Repeat step
on the opposite side of the Foot Rail corner.

Step 20: Stand the Bed face unit up on
its Head Rail end. Now with you and
your assistant on either side of the Bed
face unit lift until the # 3 bolt on the
Bed face unit is a few inches above the
slotted end of the Tension Arm on both
sides. Gently lower the Bed face unit
between the Tension Arms and seat the #
3 bolt into the slot at the end of the Ten-
sion Arms. Now start pulling the bed
face unit down and away from the Bed
Cabinet the Allen Key bolt head will
seat into the notch at the lower end of
the Tension Arms. Lower the bed unit
down and pull the Legs down so that
they are on the floor. Someone will need
to hold the bed unit down as it will want
to rise.
IMPORTANT! As instructed in step 16, Bolt #3 should be loose enough to slip into the notch at
the end of the Tension Arm See illustration below.
WARNING: There is tremendous force involved in the next step, do not place hands between
the front of the side boards and the tension arms as you set the mechanism.
Helpful hint: As you start to draw the
Tension Arm down with one hand, use
the other hand to position the Arm Lock
on top of the Hex Nut. Now as the Ten-
sion Arm continues to be pulled down
with both hands, the Arm Lock will
naturally drop into place around the
Hex Nut as illustrated.

Step 21: Insert a 5/16” x 1” Hex
Head bolt through hole #2 and tighten
a 5/16” Nylock nut onto the bolt. Now
tighten the nut and bolt in hole #3.
Repeat step 21 on the other side of the
bed unit.
Step 22: Slip the Mechanism Cover
over the Mechanism so that the tabs on
the cover fit into the notches provided.
Line up the hole with the barrel support
and anchor in place using the 3/16” x 1

Step 23: When the bed is closed check to see if the gap
on either side is the same. If it looks right skip this step.
If the gap is not right, meaning that the Bed Box is too
close to the side board or even touching it at the top on
one side it will need to be adjusted. The procedure will
require the bottom of the bed to be moved slightly to the
left or right depending on which top corner is too close.
If the Bed Face is too close on the top right side for
instance, the right side (bottom) will need to be slid to the
left slightly (See illustration 12). Have one person push
the bed at the bottom with his feet while the second person
pulls at the opposite bottom side.
Push bed
over at the
bottom to
align
Step 24: Place the top mold (3/4” thick “C” shaped piece)
on the bed as illustrated and use the 1 1/4” screws to secure
it in place. If you purchased side cabinets apply top mold to
them as well.
Step 25: Place handles on bed using pre-
drilled holes in face panels.
Step 26: Anchor the Side Cabinet to the Bed by
first pre-drilling three 3/16” holes at the inside edge
of the side cabinet. Position the holes close to the
front edge of the Side Cabinet. One hole should be
near the top, one should be inside the drawer area
(remove drawer from cabinet to get to this one), and
the third should be at the bottom (open door if your
cabinet has door, or remove drawer at bottom) for
this hole. Now move the side cabinets next to the
bed and use three 1 1/4” Screws (located in a drawer
or on a shelf of the side cabinet) through pre-drilled
holes to anchor Side Cabinets to the Bed.
