Installing The Springs
Video: Adding Springs
NOTE: Some models may have the correct number of springs already installed. Check the chart and if your
bed already has them installed then skip this section.
1-1. The Number of springs in the Lift Mechanism will vary by size and application of the Murphy Bed. Check
chart below.
SPRING APPLICATION CHART
Please Note: These are recommendations only. Actual number of springs required will depend on the total weight of the bed face unit including the
mattress
and all bedding

After you have completed installing and checking the operation of your bed, you may find it necessary to add or remove springs to achieve the correct
lift effort of between 5 to 10 pounds.
1-2. There are nine locations for springs. If the bed requires an even number of springs, do not use the center
hole (#5 from the top). If the bed requires an odd number of springs, start with the center hole (#5 from the top)
and work outward in both directions evenly.
1-3. Hook the springs so the open ends are facing
outward. You may have to gently pry up the tension
arm and slide the spring under and snap them into
place in the proper hole, matching the same
numbered hole from the top of the mechanism
back plate. You should have an equal number of
springs on each side of the center hole.
1-3. Repeat for the other Lift Mechanism.
Use the same number of springs and the same
layout on both Mechanisms

Mounting Lift Mechanism
Video: Mounting the Lift Mechanism
NOTE: Some models may have the Lift Mechanism already
mounted to the verticals. If this is the case with your
Murphy bed then you can skip this section.
2-1. The left and right Lift Mechanism hole pattern will line
up with the hole pattern on the Side Panels (B). The bolts
will be fed through the side that has the counter sink holes
drilled.
2-2 Hole A will not have a standard nut. It is either a
threaded hole or it will use a disk like bolt “Arm Lock Stop”.
Get Hole A started.
2-3 Insert the bolt in the other holes and loosely tighten
onto the nuts.
2-4. Once all Bolts and Nuts have been started tighten all of
them.
Assemble the Bed Cabinet
Video: The Cabinet Part 1
● If possible, the Bed Cabinet should
be assembled in the room where it
will be used.
● Be sure Lift Mechanisms are
securely installed.
Headboard and Top Panel Installation
On a soft surface like a blanket lay out
the verticals.
3-1. Insert the headboard dowels into the
ends of the headboard (two on each side).
No need to measure, The dowels will align
the headboard to where it needs to be. With
the pocket screw holes facing toward the
back, insert the headboard dowels into the
side of the verticals.
