This is a living document. Part 1 covers TroveBlade assembly. Part 2 — frame and complete wall installation — will follow. Steps are numbered sequentially across both parts.
Before installation, apply one drop of Loctite 243 to the first 2–3 threads of every bolt. Let them sit for a few minutes to tack up before use.
Separate your M5×8mm and M5×10mm bolts before you start.
To use a sliding T-nut, slide the required quantity in through the open edge of the 2020 profile, align your bracket, and bolt it in. Sliding nuts are a little harder to work with than drop-ins, but stronger. We use them where it matters.
Prepare the bracket with all bolts and T-nuts assembled. Align T-nuts with the targeted slot of the 2020 profile and finger-tighten. Then back each bolt out about one turn — if the bolt head isn't flush with the bracket, the nut didn't drop into the slot. Push the bolts in, confirm the heads are flush, then hand-tighten everything down.
You do not need to fully remove the bolt to do this — and on vertical profiles, doing so is unnecessary and can let the T-nut fall out of position.
To assemble a TroveBlade, you need a board to attach it to. In this example, we use a metal pegboard.
Consistent, parallel rows of ¼" holes.
Those holes don't usually align with the slide's mounting holes.
Our solution: we provide a 2020 profile adapter cut to the slide's length minus 2", so any metal pegboard can be attached from its back side.
If you're using IKEA SKÅDIS or another plastic pegboard, note that the hole pattern is different. In every case, you have two options for attaching your board to the slide: through the 2020 adapter (M5×8mm bolts and T-nuts included for metal pegboard attachment), or directly to the slide.
You'll use two cantilever arms per board — one top, one bottom. Calculate both positions carefully before drilling or bolting anything down.
Mount as low as possible, but leave room for a future bottom shelf connection — even if you're starting with an open TroveBlade, you may want to upgrade to a Plus later.
Mount as high as possible. The only limit is the supporting cantilever arm itself — 1 meter (39.37") long, which covers most board sizes. The greater the distance between the two cantilevers, the stronger the system.
If you want to have a board taller than the cantilever's range allows, use a stronger board and space the cantilevers up to 1 meter apart — the maximum the arm supports.
We strongly recommend keeping all TroveBlades in a system at the same height. The provided hardware is designed to treat your wall as a single frame, which makes final adjustment — especially squaring to a 90° wall — much easier.
The correct setup: when you pull two TroveBlades (especially TroveBlade Plus units) out together, the distance between them stays constant. This is far easier to achieve with a single consistent frame height.
In the frame installation instructions, we suggest setting up the leftmost and rightmost TroveBlades first to correctly establish the top and bottom frame profiles. The remaining TroveBlades should fit snugly between those profiles, so all TroveBlades in a standard installation should be at the same height.
Each cantilever has a single hole on one side, indicating the back of the TroveBlade:
Use the provided 3 M5×8mm bolts and sliding nuts per cantilever. Slide nuts into the profile's slot and finger-tighten bolts into nuts. Make sure that the front of the board passes the slider's end.
For a standard installation where all TroveBlades are the same height, collect all 2020 profiles with a threaded end — there should be 2 per TroveBlade. Then:
