Here is how to install the bolts: Take a bolt and slide a washer on, insert
the bolt through the holes, place another washer on the end and finally
the lock nuts are tightened. Follow this procedure and install the two
bolts that go through the tall spacer.


Before you tighten the nuts, place
your speed square against the side of
the panels to make sure they are
square. If you tighten the nuts too
much you can pull the side panels
out of square. One of the reasons for
using lock nuts is you don’t have to
tighten them down in order to keep
them from loosening up, where ever
you stop turning them that’s where
they’ll stay.


Step 5
Grab the doorknob stopper, the towel hook, and the catapult arm and
head to the workbench. (Is it just me or does that just sound plain
weird?) The door knob stopper (let’s shorten that to DKS) that we
bought had a sticky backing but we didn’t trust that to hold it to the
catapultarmsowescrewedittothearmwitha1¼”drywallscrewon
the side that’s ¾” in width. Make sure you leave ½” space above the
DKS for the handle to have something to grab onto. Just below the DKS
place the towel hook with the hooks pointing up towards the DKS. We
found out after we installed our catapult arm that it rubbed the inside of
the long boards as it moved. To prevent this we used some sandpaper to
remove some material so that it wouldn’t stick.
