ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SIDE

OPENING, HORIZONTAL WALL BEDS

Before you start your project:

• Ma ress size will determine the size of the bed frame and the weight capacity of the Pardo counter balance.
Standard ma ress sizes will vary +/‐ 1” in length and width.

• The Ma ress thickness and height in the bed frame may determine the depth requirement of the wall cabinet.
Top of the ma resss on a opened bed frame should be 18” to 28” above the floor.

• Support the ma ress on a pla orm or slats built into the bed frame. Avoid ma ress contact to back of the front panel
You may choose concealed hardware or exposed hardware for aesthetic value or ease of access.

The inside dimensions of the wall cabinet or space between side pier cabinets and the bed frame is criti-
cal. The bed frame, including counter balance mechanisms mounted on the outside of the bed
frame, must be 60mm smaller than the inside of the wall cabinet.

Material used for the construction of the bed platform will affect the counter balance weight capacity that is required.

Wall Cabinets
Wall cabinets must be securely fastened to a structural wall that is plumb and square to the floor.
Provide a cut away at the baseboard to insure a ght fit of the cabinet to the wall.
Your local or State government may require installa on to be completed by a licensed contractor.
Installa on must comply to local and State building codes that may apply.
Confirm that inside opening width of the cabinet to receive the bed pla orm is EXACTLY 60mm + 1/32” ‐ 0” wider than the outside
width of the bed frame including the mechanism if mounted exposed

Bed Pla orm

Make all assembly connec ons and adjustments with the pla orm at
15° from ver cal !
Li the foot of the pla orm above the head of the pla orm and lower the intro
the cabinet and engage the square “saddle” of the pivot mount
plate. The door panel must pass in front of and under the mount
plate saddle.

Li and close the pla orm door. The open the pla orm completely
to insure there is no obstruc on of mo on. Turn and ghten the
handles to take up any slack by hand. Both sides must be equally ght. Use NO

Adjust the door reveals by adjus ng the M8 X 30mm Hex Head Cap Screw in the square axles at the mount plate saddle with a 6mm Hex Wrench.
Install the ma ress in or on the bed frame pla orm.
Li the door pla orm to 15° from closed, (about 24” open at the top) and adjust

To Uninstall reverse the installa on sequence.

Adjus ng the Selby Wall Bed

The Patented Pardo counter balance mechanism is designed to func on in a specific weight range. The total weight of the pla orm, bed frame
and ma ress must be within the design minimum and maximum limits of the mechanism to perform properly.

Do Not A empt to adjust the tension on the Pardo mechanism with the pla orm door in the full open posi on!

 With the wall cabinet secured to a permanent structural wall you may start the adjustment procedure.

 Move pla orm door to an approximate 15° angle from ver cal (about 24” opening at the top) and ghten by hand both the le and the righ
tension handles untril they no longer turn without force. ‐See Next Page ‐
 Right and le mechanism are now both evenly adjusted and balanced and that the springs are uniformly engaged.

 With the pla orm at 15° from ver cal use a 24MM socket and wrench to SEQUENTIALLY ghten both mecha‐
nisms an equal number of turns in mul ples of 8 to 10 strokes at a me. (The bed frame will obstruct full turns)
Tighten one side and then the other to maintain equal balance. A 24MM socket and a ratchet wrench are
suggested to avoid damage to the plas c cap on the adjus ng handle and to apply proper torque.


Ma ress Must be in Place
to adjust Tension
Lower the pla orm doorun l the bed is parrelle to the floor. At this pointyou may judge for yourself if the
weight of the bed is to heavy, ghten tension handles further (Always in the ver cal posi on) to obtain the
perfect se ng.

2. Pivot mount Plates

3. Support Legs/ Ma ress Retainer

Equilibrators are “handed” le and Right.

Note the square axle loca on “A” on this
image is the Le equilibrator and must be
posi oned on the le side of the bed frame.
Mechanisms for Vertical decending beds and
mechanisms for horizontal decending beds are NOT
interchangable.
