INSTALLING THE SAFE
Attention![warning]()
Safes, whether they are desktop or wall safes, should be installed such that the door is vertical and opens to the right, except for specific models whose door opens to the left.
SAFE RIM LOCKS
- Drill holes for the expansion bolts (or fastening screws) in the appropriate location.
- Use the expansion bolts (or fastening screws) to secure the safe to the wall or floor.
- Ensure the safe is mounted in the desired location and tighten all bolts or screws.
Security Warning:
- Use the expansion bolt when the wall surface is concrete.
- Use the fastening screw when the wall surface is wood.
SAFE EMBEDDING
Proper and correct installation of the safe to be embedded is essential for the security of the product.
- Before embedding, the safe's correct functioning must be checked by carrying out door opening and closing tests (see the set of operating instructions).
- The safe must be installed with the door opening from left to right (except for left-sided opening models). It must never be installed turned around, or be placed on the floor. The guarantee cover is invalid if these conditions are not complied with.
- The safe must be installed maintaining a 2-cm gap towards the inside of the wall in which it is being installed..
- It is advisable to position the safe in places where access with large size tools such as picks, hammers, cudgels and spikes etc., but where access to the door is easy for the user.
- Choose a Wall at least 10 cm thicker than the depth of the safe. Avoid walls with condensation or moisture problems in order to prevent damage to the locking system mechanisms.
- Drill a bore hole on the chosen Wall of 15cm greater in width and height than the acquired safe's dimensions, and to a depth 7cm greater than the depth of the safe.
- Provide suitable protection to the safe door area using plastic sheeting to avoid moisture and mortar damage to the locking system areas.
- A lath with a grid size of 50 x 50 mm should be placed around the four side faces and the rear face using diameter 8 rods. There should be a 3-cm gap to the walls.
- Produce a wooden panel in the form of shuttering to cover the front part, leaving a useful space for the application of the mortar required to fill the gap left.
- Fill up the embedding area with high-resistance cement composed of type CEM II A-LL 42.5R according to BS (British Standards) UNE EN 197-1, using sand and water, carefully filling and compacting the mortar evenly over the area without leaving unfilled areas. The use of quick-try cement is advised.
- Once the applied mortar has set and hardened, leave the door open for 5 days to get rid of residual moisture from the casing. Finish off the wall with a coat of plaster or other coverings. Take special care to avoid contamination with any residual element or dirt, etc., during casing procedures, mortar filling, plastering, painting or the application of other types of final finishes by ensuring these do not get into door surround areas, in key holes, keypads or other elements and locking systems (keypads, external battery connections...)
