4. Setup and Installation

The AdirOffice Key Lock Box is designed for wall mounting. Follow these steps for secure installation:

1. Choose a Location: Select a suitable wall location that is secure, easily accessible, and away from excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
2. Mark Drilling Points: Hold the key lock box against the wall at the desired height. Use a pencil to mark the locations of the pre-drilled mounting holes on the back of the unit.
3. Drill Pilot Holes: Using an appropriate drill bit for your wall type (e.g., masonry bit for concrete, wood bit for studs), drill pilot holes at the marked locations. If installing into drywall without a stud, use the provided wall anchors.
4. Insert Wall Anchors (if needed): If using wall anchors, gently tap them into the pilot holes until they are flush with the wall surface.
5. Mount the Lock Box: Align the lock box's mounting holes with the drilled holes (or anchors). Insert the provided screws and tighten them securely. Do not overtighten.
