Assembly Instructions

General steps for assembling TRILLINGEN furniture with this hardware.

Installation Steps

Detailed installation process for connecting hardware.

Lay panels flat with edges aligned.
Insert dowels into corresponding holes on both panels.
Join panels together, ensuring dowels seat properly.
Insert connector bolt through one panel into the receiving hole on the other.
Turn cam lock (located on opposite side) clockwise to secure the bolt.
Test connection by gently pulling panels apart; there should be no movement.

CAUTION! Overtightening can strip the cam lock or damage the panel.

Connecting Multiple Units

Instructions for connecting several TRILLINGEN units together.

Assemble each unit individually following standard instructions.
Place units side-by-side in desired configuration.
Use provided connecting bolts or brackets to link units together.
Ensure all connecting points are aligned before tightening.
Check that the entire structure is level and stable.

Note: For wall-mounted units, always use appropriate wall anchors.

Tightening & Adjustment

How to properly tighten and adjust connections.

Cam locks should be turned until you hear a click or feel firm resistance. If a connection feels loose:

Check that the connector bolt is fully inserted.
Ensure the cam lock is engaged with the bolt head.
Retighten with the Allen key.
If the cam lock spins freely, it may be stripped and need replacement.

Tip: Periodically check tightness, especially after moving the furniture.
