Each Knox Document Cabinet is coated with a tough TGIC 

powder coating and includes a 1/8" thick stainless steel 

dust cover to protect the lock. It is always best, however, to 

locate the unit in an area which is sheltered from moisture 

and possible mechanical damage.

The Knox Document Cabinet itself is an inherently strong 

cabinet, but proper mounting is important to achieve 

desired security.

Knox Document Cabinets are fully tested and listed by 

Underwriters Laboratories as anti-theft devices.

GENERAL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

1.  CAUTION!

 Be extremely careful when handling the 

Knox Document Cabinet prior to installation. When not 

mounted, the door will be OPEN. Always hold box and 

door securely to prevent door closing on fingers and 

causing injury. 

Tamper Alert:

 If your Knox Document Cabinet has the 

Tamper Alert feature, remove the rear Tamper Alert and 

set aside for installation after the cabinet is mounted.

2. 

Always mount your Knox Document Cabinet to 

a secure solid wall. The Knox Document Cabinet 

should never be mounted with the door facing up.

3. 

Use a small level to plumb the box square.

4. 

Use at least eight (8) mounting fasteners (Grade 8 

bolts) of 5/16" diameter. Units may also be welded 

into place. For best security, bolts should go through 

a solid wall with large washers on the opposite side.

5. 

We strongly recommend that all Tamper Alert 

connections and adjustments be carried out by a 

qualified alarm technician.
