Expandable Depth Wall Safe
2
INSTALLATION
Step 1 - Location
The wall safe should be mounted in an obscure location
such as a bedroom or hall closet and must be installed in
a 2 x 4 or thicker framed wall. Be sure that no plumbing
pipes or electrical wires run through the wall cutout area
and that make sure there is room to swing the safe door
open without obstruction. The wall safe is 14" wide and
designed to fit between standard 16" center-to-center
wall frames. Most homes have wall framing construction
of 2 x 4's and/or 2 x 6's that are on 16" centers.
Step 2 - Cut Out Wall
Determine the approximate location of the stud for the
right hand side of your wall safe (hinge side). Drill or cut
a large enough pilot hole to determine where the inside
edge of this stud is located.
1. Using a straight edge, draw a vertical pencil line 21

"
long along the inside edge of the stud. This will locate
the right hand (hinged) side of the safe.
2. From the top of your scribed line. Measure 14" to the
left and make a pencil mark, Repeat this measurement
at the bottom of the vertical line, with the building
square. Draw a vertical line between the pencil marks
locating the left side of the safe.
3. Using a straight edge, draw a horizontal line at the
top of the 21
1/8
" measurement joining the two vertical
lines. Repeat this action at the bottom; you should
now have a 14" x 21
1/8
" rectangle scribed on the wall
between studs.
4. With a saber saw or equivalent tool, starting at the
pilot hole, cut along the pencil lines and remove the
wall section.
CAUTION
With a flashlight look through the pilot hole
and make sure there are no electrical wires or plumbing
in the cutout area before you start cutting.
Step 3 - Install Safe
1. Place your wall safe through the cutout in the wall so
that the hinge side of the safe is flush against the right
hand stud and the front flange is flat against the wall.
With the safe door open, extend the telescoping back
by pushing it from the inside until maximum depth is
achieved.
2. With the safe door still open and back extended, install
6 wooden screws (included) through the holes in right
hand side of the safe and into stud. Tighten the safe
flush to the stud. Do not over tighten screws.
3. With the safe door open. Install 6 screws (included)
through holes in left hand side of safe and into stud.
Tighten screws flush to inside of safe side wall. Do not
over tighten screws. The right hand hinged side of the
wall safe must be tightened flush to the right hand stud.
4. Install 4 wooden screws (included) through the recessed
holes in the front flange of the wall safe and into stud.
Tighten screws flush with flange.
5. Install expandable shelves as needed.
Note: There may be a small gap between the left stud and
the safe, this is normal.
