Hardware Included: (2) Mounting plates (1) Nylon Strap
(2) Long ( 1-1/4”) Stud Mounting Screws (2) Short (3/4”) Furniture-Side Mounting Screws
Note: For safe mounting it is essential to use the proper hardware for your wall type. The included hardware is for drywall or stud mounting
only. For other wall types (e.g., plaster, concrete and brick) please consult your local hardware store for fastener advice.
To install:
1) LOCATING STUDS: Use a stud finder to locate the vertical wooden studs within your wall located behind the final
position of the furniture item. Mark the stud locations with a light pencil-mark.
2) MOUNTING THE FURNITURE-SIDE BRACKET: Move the furniture item close to the wall to its final position. Use pieces
of tape or a pencil to transcribe the stud locations of the wall onto the furniture item. Move the furniture item again
so you can access its back and use the marks to locate a suitable mounting point for the furniture-side mounting plate.
Make sure that the mounting plate is secured to a firm portion of the furniture frame and as high as possible.
Remember: The furniture-side mounting plate must be positioned near a wall stud. Using a pencil, and the mounting
plate as a guide, mark “screw marks” on the furniture item through the mounting plate holes.
Use a 3/32” drill bit to drill pilot holes into the furniture item at the “screw marks”. Use the TWO Short screws to secure the
furniture-side mounting plate. This mounting plate can be positioned either vertically or horizontal as necessary (See Figure 1).
3) MOUNTING THE WALL-SIDE MOUNTING PLATE : Position the wall-side mounting plate along the selected stud mark so
that it will be adjacent the furniture-side mounting plate when the furniture item is moved to its final position. The
wall-side mounting plate should be about ONE inch lower than the furniture-side mounting plate (See Figure 3). Use
the TWO Long screws to secure the wall-side mounting plate to the wall. Remember to position the wall-side mounting
plate vertically so that both screws will engage the selected wall stud (See Figure 2).
4) ATTACHING THE STRAP : When both mounting plates are securely attached, move the furniture to its final desired
position and thread the strap through the openings of each mounting plate and also through the ratcheting “buckle”.
Tighten the strap until several “clicks” are heard. The furniture item is now securely tethered to the wall.
Note: If you must move the furniture item, you can release the strap by depressing the lever arm located at its buckle and simultaneously
withdrawing the strap from the buckle. Make sure to reconnect the strap once the furniture item is returned to its previous position.
