2.3 Fixing to a wall
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of theft and ensure your safe is
securely installed, use the 6 x anchoring bolts supplied and secure to
a solid brick, blockwork or concrete wall.
•
The wall safe should always be attached to a flat, vertical surface.
using the fixing/anchoring bolts provided for the installation.
•
The safe is heavy and should be handled with care, whilst installing,
in order to avoid injury.
•
The safe should be kept in a dry environment to prevent corrosion
of the safe and the locking mechanism.
•
Firstly, determine the position of the safe against the wall using a
spirit level to ensure it is level. Ideally the safe should be close to an
adjacent wall to make it difficult for an intruder to prise off. [Fig. 3]
•
Holding the safe in position against the wall, with the safe door
open, use a pencil to mark the position of the 6 holes used by the
anchoring bolts to secure the safe to the wall [Fig. 4].
2.2 Positioning the Vecta Personal Safe™
Determine the location of the Personal Safe, which should be:
•
Located on a solid internal wall constructed of brick, blockwork or concrete.
•
Positioned out of sight of visitors or non-authorised persons but easily accessible. The keypad
should be easy to read and the safe easy to open and view contents.
•
Positioned close to an adjacent wall to make it difficult for a potential intruder to prise the safe
off the wall.
NOTE: Ensure the wall area where the safe is to be fixed is clear of pipes and electrical cables
before drilling holes for the fixing bolts

2. INSTALLATION
Always wear goggles or other suitable protective eye protection before starting to drill.
The safe is heavy so incorrect installation may result in injury.
Before installing the safe please read and follow these Operating and Installation instructions
and test the safe as described in Section 1.2.
The performance of the safe is dependent on the quality of the installation and the quality of the
wall to which the safe is fixed. To ensure it is correctly fitted it is recommended that the safe is
installed by a competent DIYer, tradesman or professional locksmith.
NOTE: The safe is heavy so it may be necessary for two people to
be involved in fixing it to the wall - one to hold the safe against
the wall whilst the other marks the position of the holes for the
anchoring bolts.
