instructions
1)
After deciding on a location for
the safe on the wall, locate the
studs in that area either with a
stud detector or by tapping the
wall to find the hollows
2)
Mark the inside edge of the studs
to determine their location.
Using those marks as your left
and right outer edge of the safe
- draw in the top and bottom edge
of the safe so that you have a
square the height and width of
your safe (do not include the
flange in these dimensions). Cut
your hole on the inside of these
lines about 1/2" in to allow
for error or breaking of wall
unevenly. Once you have cut the
wall you can look in to make sure
you are between the studs. Finish
cutting wall and use your safe to
insure a snug fit.
IT
IS IMPORTANT TO TEST THE SAFE.
Close and lock the door of the
safe. When you pull on the
dial toward you and push in on
the dial toward the safe, there
should be play in the door (A
loose fit). The play in the door
prevents pressure on the locking
bolt that might cause the safe to
stick shut.
YOU
WANT THE SAFE TIGHT BETWEEN THE
STUDS? If the safe doesn't fit
and the hole is too small,
gradually shave a little off the
studs until the fit is
comfortable.
If
you are installing a wall safe
with a flange, no finishing of
the wall is required for
neatness. If your safe has no
flange, the hole you have cut
could be framed for a
professional finish, keeping in
mind that the safe should be
concealed behind a picture or
mirror that must lie flush
against the wall in order not to
look suspiciously obvious.
To
mount safe between the studs bolt
through the holes pre drilled in
the left and right side of the
safe from the inside and into the
studs.
