WARNING! Do not discard packaging until assembly is complete and all parts are verified.
Tools not included; you will need:
CAUTION! Use personal protective equipment (safety glasses) when drilling.
Follow these steps for safe and correct installation.
WARNING! Rail must be installed on a solid wall (concrete, brick, or stud-mounted drywall with appropriate anchors). Do not install on plasterboard alone without proper support.
Detailed guidance for different wall types.
Solid Walls (Concrete/Brick): Use provided wall plugs and screws. Ensure drill bit matches plug size.
Drywall with Studs: Locate and mount brackets directly into wooden studs for maximum strength. Use longer screws if needed.
Hollow Drywall (without studs): NOT RECOMMENDED for heavy loads. If used, must employ specialized hollow-wall anchors rated for the intended load. The provided plugs are for solid walls only.
Spacing: For multiple rails, maintain a vertical spacing as required by your storage system. Use a level for alignment.
Maximum load: 15 kg (33 lbs) distributed evenly along the rail.
WARNING! Periodically check tightness of screws and stability of the rail, especially after initial installation and periodically thereafter.
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Use mild soap if necessary. Dry immediately.
DO NOT: Use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals as they may damage the powder coating.
Check mounting hardware for tightness every 6 months.
CAUTION! Failure to install correctly can result in the rail falling, causing property damage or personal injury.

For assembly support, missing parts, or other inquiries:
| Symptom | Possible Cause | Corrective Action |
|---|---|---|
| Rail feels loose | Screws not tight; wall plugs not gripping | Tighten all screws. If in drywall, ensure proper anchors are used. |
| Rail not level | Brackets installed at different heights | Loosen bracket screws, adjust using a level, re-tighten. |
| Cannot insert screw | Drill hole too small or blocked | Re-drill hole to correct size. Clear debris. |
| Bracket does not align with rail | Brackets mounted too close or far apart | Check template placement. Brackets should match pre-drilled holes on rail. |
| Wall material crumbling | Drilling into weak plaster or incorrect wall type | Stop. Assess wall suitability. Use appropriate anchors for the wall material. |
Note: If problems persist, contact IKEA customer support or consult a professional installer.
