Hardware Included:
Note: For safe mounting it is essential to use the proper hardware for your wall type. The included hardware is for drywall or stud mounting only. For other
wall types (e.g., plaster, concrete and brick) please consult your local hardware store for fastener advice.
To install:
1)
LOCATING STUDS: Use a stud finder to locate the vertical wooden studs within your wall located behind the final position of the
furniture item. Mark the stud locations with a light pencil-mark.
2)
MOUNTING THE FURNITURE-SIDE BRACKET: Move the furniture item close to the wall to its final position. Use pieces of tape or a
pencil to transcribe the stud locations of the wall onto the furniture item. Move the furniture item again so you can access its back
and use the marks to locate a suitable mounting point for the furniture-side mounting plate. Make sure that the mounting plate is
secured to a firm portion of the furniture frame and as high as possible. Remember: The furniture-side mounting plate must be
positioned near a wall stud. Using a pencil, and the mounting plate as a guide, mark "screw marks" on the furniture item through the
mounting plate holes
Use a 3/32" drill bit to drill pilot holes into the furniture item at the "screw marks". Use the TWO Short screws to secure the furniture-side
mounting plate. This mounting plate can be positioned either vertically or horizontal as necessary (See Figure 1).
3)
MOUNTING THE WALL-SIDE MOUNTING PLATE : Position the wall-side mounting plate along the selected stud mark so that it will be
adjacent the furniture-side mounting plate when the furniture item is moved to its final position. The wall-side mounting plate should
be about ONE inch lower than the furniture-side mounting plate (See Figure 3). Use the TWO Long screws to secure the wall-side
mounting plate to the wall. Remember to position the wall-side mounting plate vertically so that both screws will engage the selected
wall stud (See Figure 2).
4)
ATTACHING THE STRAP : When both mounting plates are securely attached, move the furniture to its final desired position and
thread the strap through the openings of each mounting plate and also through the ratcheting "buckle". Tighten the strap until
several "clicks" are heard. The furniture item is now securely tethered to the wall.
Note: If you must move the furniture item, you can release the strap by depressing the lever arm located at its buckle and simultaneously withdrawing the
strap from the buckle. Make sure to reconnect the strap once the furniture item is returned to its previous position.
