How to Install Swing-Up Shelves

Kitchen And Bathroom Renovation : How to Install Swing-Up Shelves




Carefully trigger the locking mechanism on each swing arm, and set the arm in its fully extended position. Hold each arm against the inside face of the cabinet side and make sure the arm will clear the door hinge and/or the cabinet face frame. If the arms do not clear, you’ll need to use wood spacers to allow the arms to clear the hinges or frames by at least 1⁄2". In most cases, one 1 × 3 spacer for each arm will provide enough clearance. Cut the spacers so they match the length of the mounting plate on the swing arms.



Mark the locations of the swing arm mounting plates onto the inside cabinet faces. Mount a swing arm on each side of the cabinet opening, using screws. Unlock and rotate both swing arms so they are fully extended.



Determine the width of the shelf by measuring between the outer edges of the shelf-mounting flanges.



Fasten each locking bar to the bottom shelf face with the provided screws and plastic spacers to ensure the bars will slide smoothly. Test the locking bars’ operation with the shelf in the extended and retracted positions, and make any necessary adjustments.
