LOCATION
Your First Alert® Wall Safe should be mounted in an obscure location such as a
bedroom or hall closet and must be installed in a 2'x 4' or thicker framed wall.
Be sure that no plumbing pipes or electrical wires run through the wall cutout
area where your wall safe is to be located and that there is room to swing the
safe door open without obstruction. The Wall Safe is about 15 inches wide and
designed to fit between standard 16 inch center-to-center wall framing.
NOTE: Most homes have wall framing construction of 2 x 4's and/or 2 x 6's that
are located on 16-inch centers. Instructions shown are for wood framed wall
installation. Installation for aluminum or steel stud walls may require pre-drilling
and/or alternative mounting screws.

MOUNTING
Fix the safe in the place so it is not easy to move.
Determine the approximate location of the stud for the right hand side of
1
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.
Drill holes for clamping screws in the right place. The external dimensions of
2
this safe are 22.04"H x 14.96"W x 3.94"-5.94"D.
Install your wall safe into the wall cutout so that the hinge side of the safe is
3
flush against the right hand stud and the front flange is flat against the wall.
With the safe door open, extend the telescoping back by pushing it from the
inside until maximum possible depth is achieved.
NOTE: There may be a slight amount of space between the safe side wall and the
left hand stud, this is normal.
The right hand hinged side of your wall safe must be tightened flush to the
4
right hand stud. Once safe has been placed into position in the wall cutout,
secure into place by screwing 4 wood screws (included) through the four
recessed holes in the front flange of Safe and into studs. Tighten screws flush
with flange.
CAUTION
Clamping screws provided are best fit for wooden wall surfaces.
