WALL SAFE
Model: FW-1814Z
REV. 06.12
We recommend hiring a contractor or a handyman to install
the safe in your home or office.
Installation Steps:
1. Locate an interior wall that you would know for sure that there are no pipes
running inside. Make sure there is no bathroom or a shower on the other
side of that wall.
2. Using a Stud Finder, locate a good location between two wall studs at approx.
the height of your eyes.
3. Using a level and a measuring tape, draw a rectangular of 18” high x 14” wide.
(to make sure, measure the size of the back of the safe and make the rectangular
about a ¼” larger to have some play).
4. Using a hand held drywall saw, cut the dry wall according to the marking.
DO NOT USE AN ELECTRIC SAW.
5. Remove the drywall cutout and make sure there are no interference
inside the wall to install the safe
6. Insert the safe into the wall and install to the wall studs from the inside
of the safe using the lag bolts provided. It is recommended to drill pilot holes
for bolts.
