Page 5: Important Safety Information
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION! • It is extremely important that the bed be properly and securely affixed to the wall. Failure to do so can cause serious injury or death. • The Murphy bed should be securely fastened to wall studs, concrete, block, brick or other wall type using the proper fasteners. - Page 6 PLACING PARTS ON THE ASSEMBLED FACE The Assembled Face has been precisely machined for the parts you will need to install. Based on the machined holes in the side rails of the Assembled Face, you can easily determine the location of the parts/plates to be installed. The diagram above indicates the front end and back end of the Assembled Face.
- Page 7 Position one Swing Leg Plate (Q) at the front end of the Assembled Face, and from the inside, insert the 1” tube into the 1” hole. Insert four ¾” Wood Screws (H) in the four pre-marked holes on the inside of the Assembled Face. REPEAT THIS STEP ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ASSEMBLED FACE.
- Page 8 There should be a Thin, Black Nylon Washer (S) on both sides of the Swing Leg (P) inside of the Assembled Face. REPEAT THIS STEP ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ASSEMBLED FACE. Thread a Locknut (T) onto the 1½” Flat Head Cap Screw (R). The ½” Wrench (V) that is included will be used to tighten the Locknut (T) to secure the Swing Leg (P).
- Page 9 Position one Pivot Hole Plate (E) at the back end of the Assembled Face, and from the inside, insert the 1” tube into the 1” hole. Using the pre-marked hole locations as a guide, secure the Pivot Hole Plate (E) with four ¾” Wood Screws (H) on the inside of the Assembled Face.
- Page 10 PLACING PARTS ON THE CABINET VERTICALS The Cabinet Verticals are precisely machined for the parts you are about to install. Based on the machined holes in the Cabinet Verticals, you can easily determine the location of the plates. The diagram also indicates the direction and position of these parts, as well as the proper fastener to use for each.
- Page 11 With one Cabinet Vertical lying on its side and several holes facing up, position one Pivot Pin Plate (D) with the ½” end of the rod inserted into the lower most ¾” hole. Insert two ¾” T-Nuts (F) in the two through holes from the “back side”...
- Page 12 Position one Bed Stopper (I) with the pin on the back inserted into the ¼” hole near the top. Position the Bed Stopper (I) as to line up its hole with the pre-marked hole on the Cabinet Vertical. Secure this with a ¾” Wood Screw (H).
- Page 13 ASSEMBLING THE MURPHY BED STEP 1: Position all of the parts approximately 24 inches from the wall where you plan to install the bed. Lay them out as shown below for ease of installation. STEP 2: Place a Thick, White Nylon Washer (K) on the Pivot Bar on each Pivot Pin Plate (D) and stand the Cabinet Verticals on their finished (front) edge.
- Page 14 STEP 3: Slide the Pivot Pins all of the way into the Pivot Holes in the Assembled Face. The Thick, White Nylon Washer (K) will establish the spacing needed between these pieces. STEP 4: Snap one E-Clip (J) into the groove on each of the Pivot Bars locking the Cabinet Verticals to the Assembled Face.
- Page 15 STEP 5: Next, snap the smaller end of one Piston (A) onto the ball receiver on the Assembled Face Plate (C) on the Assembled Face. The arrow should be pointing to the top of the bed and away from the wall. REPEAT THIS STEP ON THE Murphy OTHER SIDE OF THE ASSEMBLED FACE.
- Page 16 while the second person snaps the larger end of the Piston (A) onto the ball receiver of the Cabinet Vertical Plate (B) on the Cabinet Vertical. You may need to move the Assembled Face up and down slightly to perfectly align the ball receiver and the head of the Piston (A).
- Page 17 STEP 7: If you purchased the optional Lighting Kit, you should install the lights in the Header now. If you did not purchase this option, MOVE ON TO STEP 8. INSTALLING THE LIGHTS IN THE HEADER Making sure that the light with the single cord is installed first, at the left side of the header, furthest from the pre-installed transformer;...
- Page 18 STEP 9: Place the attached side of the Cabinet Vertical on the Assembled Face using the Bed Stopper (I). STEP 10: While lifting the unattached Cabinet Vertical and the Header slightly above the Assembled Face, allow the Cam Dowels (L) to slip into the Cam Housings. Secure this side of the Header by tightening the Phillips head within each Cam Housing using a screwdriver, not a drill.
- Page 19 STEP 11: Drive two Silver 1½” Pocket Screws (M) into each side of the Header using the slotted through holes. Make sure to do this on both sides of the Header. STEP 12: With the Black Cam Housing side of the Headboard facing attach the Headboard.

with the Headboard and Header. (Notice this view is rotated 180° from the view above.) IF YOU PURCHASED THE OPTIONAL LIGHTING KIT YOU WILL NOW FINISH THE INSTALLATION. 20 of 30... - Page 21 IF YOU DID NOT PURCHASE THIS OPTION, PLEASE GO TO STEP 14. The wires need to be feed through the full length notch on the RIGHT CABINET VERTICAL and out of the baseboard notch. Finally, the quick connections will be made to the Transformer. Simply follow the steps below and refer to the diagrams.
- Page 22 d. Next, plug the male end of the light into the female end of the wire exiting the Transformer. Make sure these are completely together before continuing. e. PLEASE NOTE: The Transformer is installed in such a way as to minimize extra wire from sticking above the Header once the bed is installed.
- Page 23 WHEN LIFTING THE BED, DOUBLE CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE NOTCH AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR BED WILL ACCOMMODATE THE BASE MOLDING ON YOUR WALL. IF YOU SKIPPED THIS STEP, PLEASE GO BACK TO PAGE 4 NOW. THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE MURPHY BED MUST SIT FLUSH AGAINST THE WALL FOR PROPER INSTALLATION.
- Page 24 FOR MEL V100 MURPHY BEDS ONLY INSTALL HANDLES NOW Once the bed is standing, the handles can be installed on the face of the Murphy bed. Place one person behind the bed and the other in front. Using the appropriate length screws (included in the handle package), and the Silver 1¼”...
- Page 25 STEP 15: Using an electronic stud finder and following the manufacturers instructions for use, locate the studs in the wall as shown. Mark an “X” to indicate the CENTER of the stud. Locate as many studs as you can within this space (minimum of 3).
- Page 26 IN THE STUD AND THAT THE HEADER IS TIGHT TO THE WALL. You will know you have hit the studs if it’s more difficult to turn the screw. If not, you are into the drywall only. You will need to try to locate the studs again. To test this, pull on the Header a few times to make sure it does not come away from the wall.
- Page 27 STEP 16: To install the mattress, you must first open the bed. Bedder Way Murphy beds are built to accommodate any standard innerspring mattress up to 12 inches in total thickness. Using the upper most handles (depending on style), pull the bed down into the open position.
- Page 28 STEP 18: If you have side cabinets, these can be installed once the bed is fastened to the studs in the wall. Push the cabinet against the bed making sure that the cabinet lines up with the front edge of the bed. Once you are happy with the way the cabinet fits, drive screws from the side cabinet into the Cabinet Vertical of the bed as shown below.
