Step 2: Install Springs in the Lift Mechanisms
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.
NOTE: After you have completed installing and checking operation of your Wallbed, you
may find it necessary to add or remove springs to achieve the correct lift effort of between
5 and 10 pounds.
Install the first spring in hole #1 for king, #2 for queen on both the Mounting Plate and the Tension Arm. Hook one end of
the spring under the upturned edge of the Mounting Plate. Lay the spring down and slide it under the matching hole in the
Tension Arm. See illustration 1.
HELPFUL HINT: You may find it easier to fit the hook
under the Tension Arm if you pry up the Arm Bracket with
a wooden wedge or similar device.
(Some springs may be pre-installed)

Step 3:
Install the Lift Mechanism to
the Side Board 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
(hole A may have threaded collar
instead of bolt)
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 .
Repeat step 3 with the Left Side
Board and Lift Mechanism.

Step 7:: Using a Stud Finder
locate and mark the studs in your
wall behind the Bed Cabinet. Attach “L” brackets to the top, back
of the Bed Cabinet using 3/4” Pan
Head screws corresponding to
where the studs are located in your
wall. Now attach the “L” brackets

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

Step 24:
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 is
too close on the top right side for instance, the right side
(bottom) will need to be slid to the left slightly (See illus
tration 12). Have one person push the bed at the bottom
with his feet while the second person pulls at the opposite
bottom side.

(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

bed and use three 1 1/4” Gold Screws (located in
a drawer or on a shelf of the side cabinet) through
pre-drilled holes to anchor Side Cabinets to the Bed.
