A guide to wall mounting and fixings

Warning

Serious or fatal crushing injuries can occur from furniture tipping over.
To prevent this furniture from tipping over it must be permanantly fixed to the wall.

Wall fixing screws are not included, since dierent wall materials require dierent types of screws / fixings.
Please ensure you use the correct screws / fixings for your type of walls and seek professional advice if you
are not sure.

Failure of the product due to incorrect fixings is the responsibility of the installer.

Important: When drilling into the walls always check that there are no hidden wires or pipes etc.

Types of walls

You can use one of the following types of wall plug if your walls are made of
brick, breezeblock, concrete, stone or wood.

1. General Purpose wall plug

Generally aerated blocks should not be used to support heavy loads, use a
specialist fitting in this case. For light loads, general - purpose wall plugs can
be used.

2. Plasterboard wall plug

For use when attaching light loads on to plasterboard partitions.

3. Cavity Fixing wall plug

For use with plasterboard partitions or hollow wooden doors.

4. Cavity Fixing - Heavy Duty wall plug

For use when fitting or supporting heavy loads such as shelving, wall cabinets
and coat racks.

5. Hammer Fixing wall plug

For use with walls stuck with plasterboard. The hammer fixing allows it to be
fixed to the wall rather than the plasterboard. Always check the fixing is
secure to the retaining wall.

6. Shield Anchor wall plug - Heavy loads

For use with heavier loads such as TV and Hi-Fi speakers and satellite dishes
etc.

Safety: Periodically check all fittings and wall fixings to ensure they
have not come loose and retighten as necessary.

Safety Instructions

General warnings

Never drag furniture when moving it, always lift it. Periodically check all fixings to ensure none have come loose and
re-tighten where necessary. Please take care when handling or moving the furniture as careless handling may cause
damage or injury. Furniture can be dangerous if incorrectly installed. Assembly should be carried out by a competent
person. No liability will be accepted for damage or injury caused by incorrectly installed or assembled furniture.

Specific warnings for heavy items

It is recommended that before moving heavy objects to a new location they are completely dis-assembled to avoid
personal injury or damage to the furniture. Please be careful to retain all fittings when doing this. (For fully or partial
assemble items).

Storage units over 600mm

Installation shall be carried out exactly according to the manufacturer’s instructions – otherwise a safety risk can
occur if incorrectly installed; a warning shall be given to the consumer to notify them of related risks.

Wood Furniture

Wood displays dierent grain patterns depending on which way they cut - for example, the ‘medullary ray’ which can
appear on oak furniture is a mark of good quality timber - these are just characteristics of the natural beauty of the
wood. Some furniture is also deliberately aged and rustic.

All timber surfaces will change colour and mellow over time. New furniture will initially vary in shade from items that
have been previously purchased.
