<p>OK, now I understnad. The hardware that I have does not keep it up that securely and has some additional latches that are incorporated into the folding leg mechanisim.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks for sharing the pics. I will not be working on the Murphy bed for a while. I am in the middle of a "L" shaped built-in book case project.</p>

the bed stays in the up position from the pressure the struts that are used in the mechanism much like the struts on a cars hood or lift up tailgate system on a minivan...<br></br>

<p>not quite sure what you mean about the latch mechanism except the foot mech. for when the bed is down..i eliminated the mechanical locking flip hinged foot with a dual purpose static shelf thats supported by corbels...like the look,function and the lack of the need to deal with a mechanism that may one day fail and cause damage to the bed or someone.. </p>

<p>Hi:</p>
<p>On this site in my projects, you can see what the Murphy Bed from Create a Bed is like. This project is not finished, it was stained and coated to provide for the In-Laws last winter and I will be finishing it wall to wall as soon as I get done with the Kitchen project to do list.</p>

try create-a-bed for the hardware (Lee Valley sells it); it comes with a great plan and super video that shows you how to put it all together. You almost can't miss with this.
