5. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the security and functionality of your wall safe. This process requires construction work to embed the safe within a wall.
5.1 Site Preparation
- Select a suitable location within a wall that can accommodate the safe's dimensions and weight.
- Ensure the wall structure is sound and can support the safe once installed.
- Verify that there are no electrical wires, plumbing, or other obstructions within the chosen wall section.
5.2 Recessing the Safe
Construction work is required to create an opening in the wall for the safe. The adjustable depth feature allows the safe to adapt to various wall thicknesses.
- Carefully measure and mark the opening required for the safe, considering its external dimensions (21 cm H x 32 cm W x 15-22 cm D).
- Create the opening in the wall.
- Adjust the safe's depth to match the wall thickness. This model offers 4 extension positions at 25 mm intervals.
- It is recommended to remove the safe door during the embedding process to reduce weight and facilitate handling. Reattach the door only after the safe body is securely in place and sealed.

5.3 Securing the Safe
- Once the safe is positioned in the wall opening, ensure it is level and plumb.
- Secure the safe by filling the surrounding cavity with appropriate construction materials (e.g., concrete, mortar) to create a solid, immovable installation.
- Allow sufficient time for the construction materials to cure completely before using the safe.

- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the safe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
