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 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 13.8”x 30”, 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.
