5.2 Mounting the Safe

The safe can be mounted in various locations such as under a desk, on a nightstand, or inside a wardrobe. The included mounting bracket allows for flexible installation.

2. Attach the mounting bracket to your chosen surface using the provided screw kit. Ensure the bracket is securely fastened to a sturdy structure.
3. Align the safe with the mounted bracket. The safe slides onto the bracket.
