Assemble the following hardware and equipment:
Four (4) quarter-inch (1/4”) bolts and washers
Drill and bit
Center punch
We recommend the following mounting guidelines:
1.
Insert bolts from the inside of the unit.
2.
Place mounting holes on the edge of the unit bottom where the unit construction is
reinforced.
3.
Place the mounting holes at least three-quarters of an inch (3/4”) from the edge of the
unit.
4.
Use a center punch to start the mounting holes.
5.
Ensure that the cable is not pinched or pulled during mounting, and it will not be
damaged during operation.
6.
Make sure the mounting holes do not interfere with the opening damper or any other
component inside the box.
7.
Do not mount
anything to the MedVault
®
door
.
8.
Do not use a hammer
to fit the unit in place
. Doing so may warp the unit.
9.
Do not over-tighten the mounting bolts
—it will distort the flange and may warp the unit.
10.
Clean up shavings after drilling the mounting holes.
11.
Do not mount the unit face-down from a ceiling or overhang area
.
12.
The door hinge of the mounted unit must be on the bottom.
13.
When the door is open, it should not rest on any surface.
14.
If you install the unit on a thin or hollow wall/surface, use a solid backing for
reinforcement.
15.
We recommend mounting the unit to solid studs or steel supports.
Mounting Options
