3. Installation Instructions

Proper installation is crucial for the security and functionality of your wall safe. This safe is designed to be installed between standard 16-inch on-center wall studs.

1. Locate Studs: Use a stud finder to identify the precise location of two adjacent wall studs. Mark the desired top and bottom horizontal lines where the safe's inner lip will sit.
2. Cut Opening: Using a sheetrock saw, carefully cut the opening in the wall. Start from your marked top or bottom lines and cut downwards along the studs until you reach the other horizontal line. Ensure the cut lines are straight and precise to accommodate the safe.
3. Clear Insulation: Remove any insulation present within the wall cavity where the safe will be installed.
4. Mark Drill Holes: Place the safe into the cut opening. Using a pencil, mark the stud locations through the pre-drilled screw holes on the sides of the safe.
5. Drill Pilot Holes: Remove the safe. Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. Use a drill bit slightly smaller than the shank of the provided wood screws to ensure a secure fit.
6. Secure Safe: Reinsert the safe into the wall opening. Use a ratchet to fasten the provided wood screws through the safe's side holes into the wall studs until the safe is firmly secured.
