MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The safe must be mounted to a wall. Be aware of the load bearing. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or damage to
Mounting Holes property. Use appropriate tools when performing work and always use eye protection
1. Select the location where your wall
safe will be installed. Please keep
in mind that you should:
• Choose a location that is
convenient for you, but will not
be easily located by others
• Avoid exterior walls
• Be sure to check for electric,
telephone and cable TV wires,
heating ducts, or plumbing. It is
important to avoid all such
obstructions to prevent damage to your home during
installation NOTE: Barska is not responsible for any damage
incurred during installation.
2. Locate two adjacent studs in the wall. Various stud-finders
are available at your local hardware and home
improvement stores.
3. Measure and cut out the wall to fit the dimensions of the
wall safe. About 14”x19.25”, use a pencil to draw the cutout
before actually cutting; then using a scroll saw, sabre saw
or utility knife, cut out and remove the marked section
of drywall.
4. Measure the cabinet and the distance between the wall studs
exposed by the hole you have just cut. This will help you
determine the thickness of any shims required.
NOTE: A shim is a thin, often tapered piece of wood used as
filler between two materials – in this case, between
the safe and wall studs. If your walls are on 16" center
and the studs are of the normal 1-1/2" thickness, the
shims required will be 1/4" thick. Locate the shims on
either side of the opening, centering them vertically in
the opening. Nail them in place. If your stud spacing
or thickness is other than normal, shims of different
thickness may be required.
5. Insert the safe and mark the mounting holes location on the
wood, remove the safe, and drill an initial hole, put the safe
back in and screw in the four screws, make sure to put all
four screws in before tightening them. Ensure the safe is
mounted securely.
As with any security device, your ingenuity in concealing the safe plays a large part in deterring theft. Conceal your wall safe installation appropriately. DO NOT disclose the location of the safe.
