  • Flange is for cosmetic only, covering any imperfections in the hole you cut and improving the appearance of the safe.
  • The flange is not what holds the unit in the wall. It is the way you install the body which secures it in the wall.
  • The flange is attached to the safe body, and then the entire united is mounted.
