ENDURA CABINET PLANS AND INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for purchasing your Wall Bed from Wallbeds Northwest.
If you have purchased a complete "Endura DIY Kit," then much of the work is already done
for you. Please skip to assembly instructions. Note that some of the hardware may be
slightly different than what is shown in the plans and instructions and is already included.
The following instructions are for building and installing a complete Endura Wall Bed cabinet and mechanism
purchased from Wallbeds Northwest. These instructions are designed for an inexperienced builder to be able
to put the Endura Wallbed together. If you are an experienced builder, then you may want to do some
modifications or put it together with different materials.
CAUTION! PLEASE READ THROUGH THE DIRECTIONS BEFORE YOU PURCHASE ANY OF THE
FOLLOWING ITEMS. SOME ITEMS CAN BE SUBSTITUTED WITH DIFFERENT MATERIALS.
If you are building everything yourself you will need most of the following hardware* and tools;
100 - 1
" WOOD SCREWS
1/4
8 to 12 - 3" DRY WALL SCREWS
110 - 3/4"" WOOD SCREWS (Nickel)
LEVEL
LADDER
WOOD GLUE
STUD FINDER
ELECTRIC DRILL
* If you purchased a complete Wall Bed Mechanism and Cabinet, the hardware is included.
**Note: Some Pre-drilling is necessary for Confirmat Screws - 3/16 Bit.
GETTING STARTED
If you have purchased a complete Wallbed Cabinet, then go directly to the Assembly and Installation sections.
Start by cutting and edge-banding all the pieces shown on the ENDURA CUT LIST in the size and material of
your choice. The dimensions on the cut list are the finished sizes. If you are using edge-banding thicker than
normal tape edge-banding, then youʼll need to compensate in your measurements. Solid wood is certainly
okay to use but is not recommended for the door panels or verticals because of possible warping.
Please make sure you have the capability and tools required in order to be able to properly put the door panel
sections together when building a full or queen (twin size can be 1 door panel). The door panels can be joined
down the center or you can choose to leave a 1/8" reveal. If cutting yourself, you will want to make sure that the
seam is perfect. You can also cover the seam with different mouldings for decoration.
