Norka Bi-Fold Futon Frame

Assembly Instructions

Printed instructions come with every frame. These instructions are for our solid Maple Futon Frames made by Norka Woodworks: the Andover, Charlotte, Bristol, Bedford and Brighton. If you are having difficulty with the assembly of your frame, please call us at 877-932-3886.

Norka Bi-Fold Assembly Instructions

Parts List

Frame Box

4 "short" allen bolts
2 "medium" allen bolts
2 "long" allen bolts
10 small fender washers
4 large fender washers
8 lock nuts
2 hollow steel sleeves
2 wood positive lock wedges

Arm Box

4 shuttle blocks
8 allen bolts
8 barrel nuts
1 allen wrench

 

Step 1: Lay the seat deck and back deck flat on the floor, slat side up, as shown in illustration. Complete each of the four shuttle block assemblies as shown in detail 1 and, using a wrench or pliers (not supplied) to hold the lock nut, tighten until the shuttle block no longer turns freely but will turn only when force is applied.

Step 2: (FULL AND QUEEN BI-FOLDS ONLY) Locate the four holes drilled in the seat support pieces on each end of the underside of the seat deck. Determine which hole should be used for your particular arm choice using Detail 3 as a guide and assemble the positive lock assembly on each support as shown in Detail 4. Note: if you would like the ability to adjust the back angle to more recline, mount the positive lock assembly through the Safety Lock Position hole.

NOTE: Proper installation of the positive lock assembly is required to prevent your frame from spontaneously opening if you use an extremely thick (over 8" thick) mattress, one which has a high foam or wool content or an innerspring futon.

Step 3: Insert a barrel nut into each of the eight holes bored in both ends of each stretcher as shown in detail 5. Insert the eight allen bolts through the corresponding holes in each arm and thread into the barrel nuts as shown in detail 6. Leave the arms very loose at this step.

Step 4: Carefully place the completed seat/back deck assembly between the arms as shown in illustration. Align the shuttle blocks with the grooves in the arms (the top shuttle block on the back deck goes into the vertical groove and the bottom shuttle block goes into the horizontal groove). Tighten the stretchers snugly but do not overtighten. WARNING: OVERTIGHTENING OF THE STRETCHERS CAN DAMAGE YOUR FRAME. TIGHTEN ONLY UNTIL RESISTANCE IS FELT.
