Murphy Beds
C5P Doors If a murphy bed is to use a C5P door, then an additional backer panel needs to be applied to the back of the door, which will give additional room necessary to use the provided hardware screws, and we won't get screws poking through the front of the door.
2 quarter-inch panels will be cut with such a job and when butted together, they will be about 3/16 - 1/4" larger than the assembled frame. This will overlap the rails & stiles of the C5P doors by ~1.75", giving plenty of room to catch good wood with the provided screws.
The main method of attachment of the additional panel to the back of the door will be using the provided hardware screws in the bed install kit. Initially, 2-4 sharpies (installed flush) should be used to tack the panel in place. Then, the frame will be laid down on top of that, and then it should be screwed down to the doors through the 1/4" panel, which will secure everything together.
**It should also be noted that the C5P doors are much lighter than other types of door construction. Therefore, one spring on each side (total of 2) should be omitted during the install to account for this missing weight. Otherwise, the door will spring shut.
To start, tack the panels in place using just a few sharpies:
