SKÅDIS pegboard 76×56 step 4 of 4: Hang the pegboard on the rail
Turn the pegboard the right way up and hold it against the rail, its top corners in front of the rail’s tabs. Screw a thumbscrew (153311) through each top corner hole into the tab. The spacers hold the bottom 2 cm off the wall.
- 2× Thumbscrew
153311
Tools: Flat screwdriver
Common mistake: hanging it without the spacers. The rail’s tabs hold the board’s top 2 cm off the wall, and the two spacers hold its bottom. Left out, the bottom swings back against the wall: SKÅDIS hooks and holders clip in behind the board, and there they cannot. The switch in the player shows what goes wrong.

Tools you need
- Flat screwdriver · Not in the box: it turns the four thumbscrews, and the wall screws.
- Pencil · Not in the box: it marks the rail’s two screw holes on the wall.
- Tape measure · Not in the box: it measures the 60 cm between the rail’s two screw holes.
- Spirit level · Not in the box: it checks that the two marks, and so the rail, are level (page 6).
Not in the box: 2 wall screws (and plugs) that suit your wall.
Questions
What is in the SKÅDIS pegboard’s box?
The pegboard, its rail, 4 thumbscrews and 2 spacers. The screws for the wall are not included: use ones that suit your wall, with a round head.
How far apart do the rail’s screws go?
60 cm for the 76×56 board, level with each other. For a second board above it, the manual puts its rail 56.5 cm higher.
Can it go on a desk instead of the wall?
IKEA says it can be fixed to a desk with connectors that are sold separately; this guide follows the manual’s wall rail.
What are the spacers for?
They hold the board’s bottom 2 cm off the wall, as the rail’s tabs hold the top, so hooks and holders can clip in behind the board.
Can SKÅDIS go in a bathroom?
IKEA says it can also be used in bathrooms.
Safety
IKEA warns that the pegboard must be securely anchored so it cannot fall down: use screws and plugs that suit your wall, and if you are not sure, ask a professional.
About this guide
The steps, the part numbers, the counts and the order come from IKEA's assembly manual AA-1891323-4 (2024-03-27). The outer size, 76 × 56 cm, is IKEA's published size. The board’s size is IKEA’s, and so are the 60 cm between the rail’s screws; the board’s thickness, its slots and corner holes, and the rail’s shape are read off the manual’s drawings, so they are close, not measured. The 3D runs faster than real hands do.
The manufacturer's instructions are on IKEA's product page (PDF). If something here differs from the manual in your box, follow the manual.
The 3D models, drawings and text are our own. IKEA and SKÅDIS are named only to say which product this guide is for.
