Installation
WARNING To prevent structural damage and possible collapse of the building:
Do not cut or alter studs to fit the Safe.
If the wall the Safe is to be installed in is a load bearing wall, professional installation is required.
Note: The instructions below apply only to
installation in a wall with wood studs. Installation
involving a different type of wall will require other
procedures or professional installation.
1. Choose a wall in which to mount the Safe. A wall
that does not border the outside of the structure
will provide an added layer of security. The four
Screws are for mounting in concrete or masonry.
If you are going to mount the Safe on another
surface, you must supply the appropriate hardware.
Mounting
Holes
Figure A
2. There are pre-drilled holes in each side of the Wall
Safe meant for mounting between two wall studs-see
Figure A. Before mounting or drilling, make certain
that the space the Safe will be mounted in is of
sufficient depth and width to encase the Wall Safe.
WARNING! Verify that the installation
location has no hidden utility lines before
cutting, drilling, or driving screws.
3. Open the Safe by using the included key. Install
4 “AA” batteries aligned with the markings in
the battery compartment. Set up a pass code,
as explained in the Operation Instructions.
4. Wall studs are generally located at 16" intervals,
center stud to center stud. Use a Stud Finder
(not included) to locate existing studs. If the
existing studs are not located at 16" intervals,
use wood blocks or top and bottom support
brackets (not included) to support the Wall Safe.
5. Use a piece of paper to create a template using the
back of the Wall Safe. Once you have created the
template, set it at the desired space on the wall. Use
a carpenter’s level to set the template evenly in place.
6. Make certain the work area is free of furniture
and any items that may be damaged by dust
from drilling. Turn off the circuit breaker for the
area you are working in to avoid electrocution.
7. Hammer a nail into the center of the wall section
to be removed. Use a drywall saw or jig saw
to cut out the section of wall as outlined by the
template. Depending on the depth of the Safe
in relation to the depth of walls, you may need
to cut through two walls – the wall nearest you
and the one behind it. Use the nail as a handle
when pulling out the cut portion of the wall.
8. Situate the Safe in its intended position and
draw marks through the four mounting holes
onto the studs. Remove the Safe and use those
marks to predrill pilot holes for the Screws.
9. Set the Safe in place. If it does not fit
snugly, use shims to wedge it in place.
Shims can be nailed to the wall studs.
10. Thread the Screws into place.

holes in the ends of each Shelf.

Opening the Wall Safe
1. The Wall Safe is delivered with a pre-
set, temporary pass code.
2. The temporary pass code is either 159A or 159B.

pass code. The yellow light on the LED will flash
when each number is entered. The green light will
light up when the Wall Safe is ready to be opened.
4. When the green light goes on, turn
the knob to open the Wall Safe.
5. If the green light does not go on, and the
yellow light continues to blink, this indicates
that the wrong code was entered. Wait
20 seconds to input the pass code.
Using the Override Key
If the batteries have not been installed or are worn
out, open the safe using one of the Override Keys.
1. Gently detach the panel covering
the Key Hole (see Figure D).

Programming a Pass Code
1. Locate the Memory Button on the inside of the Door.
2. Using a blunt tip such as the tip of a screwdriver
or pen, push and release the Memory Button.
3. When you hear a “beep”, enter a new pass code.
Note: The new pass code may have between one
and nine digits, followed by either the A or B button.
4. A long “beep” will signify that your code
has successfully been entered.
5. The Wall Safe will automatically enter a
lockout period after three attempts to use the
wrong code within five minutes. The Wall
Safe will not accept input during this period.
The lockout period will last for one hour.
