Congratulations on the purchase of your new UpDown Desk Metal drawer!
The drawer is a very handy accessory to keep your documents and belongings at the same
height you sit or stand. Furthermore, the space above the drawer is large enough to fit most
laptops! It's of steel construction with a powder coated surface and looks great with any of
our desktop offerings.
These easy to follow instructions will help you quickly and simply install the metal drawer to
you new UpDown Desk or retro fit to an existing UpDown Desk.
Contained within the box are the following:
1. Metal drawer
2. 4 x self‐tapping screws
3. Set of keys
Key Installation Tips:
1. Philips head screwdriver, medium size and with a long shaft.
2. Some hardwood desktops may require pre‐drilling the holes to help with the install
(use a 2.5mm drill bit).
3. A cordless drill/driver is an ideal tool for this job if available.

Positioning Installation on a 750mm deep desktop should result in the metal drawer face sitting approximately flush with the front edge of the desktop when viewed from above (only the handle will protrude). Naturally, it will protrude slightly more or less if your desktop is deeper or shallower. Providing all 4 self‐tapping screws are utilised and screwed through the drawer screw holes into solid desktop material, there are no real constraints as to which lateral location you position the drawer (far LHS, far RHS or anywhere in between). You can even position the drawer so that the ‘wing’ from the frame sits within the open space (example shown below). © 2022 UpDown Desks Australia Pty Ltd All Rights Reserved ...

Installation Once you have determined the lateral location of the metal drawer, it can now be installed. This can be done either upside down when you’re assembling your desk (this is easiest) or retrofitting it when the desk is the right way up (you may need someone to help hold the drawer in place). It’s imperative that the desk legs are in the fully contracted position (i.e. the desk should be fully lowered if you’re retrofitting to the desk). You must allow at least a 5mm gap between the back of the drawer and the contracted (lowered) leg. Warning: Failing to leave a 5mm gap as indicated can lead to interference during desk lowering that may damage the frame, the metal drawer, or both. © 2022 UpDown Desks Australia Pty Ltd All Rights Reserved ...

The self‐tapping screws are typically sharp enough to allow you to use a hand screwdriver to screw firmly into the desktop with a reasonable level of force. If you find this difficult, you may benefit from pre‐drilling the holes with a 2.5mm drill bit. Note on pre‐drilling: Be extremely careful not to drill too far as you may run the risk of drilling all the way through the desktop! 3. Notes The drawer runners of the metal drawer are typically firm and have been designed this way. They will loosen over time however. Should you need to remove the drawer from the runners, this can be achieved by activating the levers on both runners. One side you will need to push down, the other side push up at the same time; the drawer will slide right out. © 2022 UpDown Desks Australia Pty Ltd All Rights Reserved ...
