Troubleshooting TROUBLESHOOTING The bed doors hit the Toe Kick when opened. This can happen for several different reasons: The most common scenario happens before the bolt in hole #2 has been • inserted. Before the bolt in hole #2 is inserted, the bed doors are pivoting on the bolt in hole #1, then once that bolt is inserted and tightened, the doors will fully be attached to the mechanism arms, changing the pivot point further back inside the Bed Cabinet.

The screws are poking through the doors on the front. Metropolitan Murphy Beds like yours have a recessed area on the doors. This area is marked as a screw free zone on Chapter 4, Step 1. Contact BredaBeds to discuss replacement options.
