Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What should I do if I encounter difficulties installing the

gas strut?

A: If you face issues with gas strut installation, refer to step
9 for adjusting the opening angle or seek assistance from customer
support.

Q: How do I determine the suitable wall for hanging the

shelf?

1
Using a mini flathead screwdriver, gently pry up on the metal clip holding the gas strut to the mounting bracket and pull the gas strut to separate the two.

2
Your Murphy Shelf ships with the lock and strike uninstalled. This is to prevent the shelf from becoming locked or accidentally locking the access cards inside the shelf. Put 4 AAA batteries into the lock, program the manager and user cards, and set up the Bluetooth connected app. *Programming instructions can found at the end of this document.

3
After you have put batteries in the lock, use a screwdriver to install it to the pre-marked location in the drop-down shelf with the latch openings towards the front of the shelf.

4
Install the power jack cable through the hole at the back of the drop-down shelf. Plug the backup power jack into the side of the lock.

5
Test the jack in the bottom of the shelf using the included power extension cable. If the power extension cable cannot be fully plugged into the jack, adjust the depth of the power jack through mounting bracket by loosening the two screws in the side of the bracket and pushing the power just through the shelf until the extension cable can be fully plugged in.

6
The front and top panels are pre-drilled to facilitate installation. The strike attaches to the front panel, with the wider set holes aligning with the screw holes in the strike, and the pre-drilled holes in the top panel provide clearance for the push pins to retract.

7
Remove the snap on cover from the side of the strike to access the screw holes. Align the strike over the screw holes in the front panel and loosely attach using one screw.

8
Depress the push pin opposite the screw you just attached and attach the remaining screw. Fully tighten both screws. Check both push pins and make sure they move freely. Replace the snap on cover.

9
Reattach the gas strut to its mounting bracket by firmly pressing back on. *The opening angle of the drop shelf can be adjusted by loosening the screws for the gas strut bracket and sliding it up or down, then re-tightening the screws. This is easiest to do with the gas strut detached.

10
Determine where you want to place your shelf. Make sure the wall is suitable for hanging the shelf. The wall should have either 2×4 or 2×6 construction. You will need to secure the hardware to at least 1 wood stud, more are preferred. Determine the height you want the top of your shelf, and measure down 3/8″. This will mark the top of the wall plate.

11
Using a stud finder locate and mark the studs. *If you are mounting to a single stud or the ends of the wall plate are more than 2″ (2 mounting holes) away from the nearest stud, the ends of the wall plate will need to be secured with wall anchors.

12
Using a drill, with a Phillips head driver, attach the wall plate using one of the 3″ screws into one of the studs just tight enough that the wall plate can still be rotated by hand.

13
FOR WALL ANCHORS ONLY Level the wall plate and mark the wall at the mounting holes at each end of the hardware. Use a 1/8″ drill bit and drill all marked locations.

14
The wall anchors provided are self-drilling. Align the drilling point of the anchor with the pilot hole and use a Phillips head screwdriver to drive the anchor into the wall until it stops.

15
Level the wall plate and finish securing the shelf to the wall using additional 3″ lag screws at each stud location and 1″ screws at each wall anchor. Make sure all screws are fully tightened.

16
Align the arms with the holes in the back of your shelf and slide the shelf all the way against the wall.

17
Adjust the shelf side to side until it is where you want it.

18
Pull the shelf back out from the wall 2-3″. Locate the two flat sections near the base of each arm and use an adjustable wrench to turn them clockwise to tighten them into the slide and lock the arm in place.

19
After you do this at each arm, slide the shelf back against the wall.

20
Insert a 9/64″ hex wrench through each 5/16″ hole in the bottom of the shelf and tighten the retainer onto the wall plate. Slightly lifting the front edge of the shelf while pressing it against the wall can help the clamp fully engage the wall plate.

21
You will want to create cutouts for your belongings in the foam insert before it is installed onto the shelf. Lay your items over the included foam insert, press down firmly on them, then trace the outline using a marker. Remove your items and using a NEW razor knife, carefully cut around the outline. We recommend cutting on the inside of the outline, test fitting your items, then removing additional foam if needed.

22
After you have created the desired cutouts, remove the backing from the foam, align it to the pocket in the drop shelf, and press it into the pocket using one hand behind the shelf to support it.

23
If the batteries in your lock die, your shelf is equipped with a backup power jack. Use the provided USB power cord and adaptor and plug them into the port on the bottom of your shelf to temporarily provide power to the lock and use your access card to unlock it.

24
Congratulations. You have successfully installed your Murphy Shelf with Secret Drop Down Compartment.
