Installing Your Wall Safe
STEP 1- Wall Cutout
1.
Determine the approximate location of the stud for the right hand side of your
Wall Safe (hinge side). Drill or cut a large enough pilot hole to determine
where the inside edge of this stud is located.
Caution:
With a flashlight, look through the pilot hole and make sure there are
no electrical wires or plumbing in the cutout area before you start
cutting.
2.
Using a building square, draw a vertical pencil line 21 1/8 inches long along
the inside edge of the stud. This will locate the right hand (hinged) side of
the safe.
3.
From the top of your scribed line, measure 14 inches to the left and make a
pencil mark. Repeat this measurement at the bottom of the vertical line. With
the building square, draw a vertical line between the pencil marks locating the
left side of the safe.
4.
With the square, draw a horizontal line at the top of the 21 1/8 inch
measurement joining the two vertical lines. Repeat this action at the bottom.
You should now have a 14 inch x 21 1/8 inch rectangle scribed on the wall
between studs.
5.
Using a jig saw or equivalent tool and starting at the pilot hole, cut along the
pencil lines and remove the wall section.
