WS-DIY-C and WS-DIY-E

The WS-DIY wall safe can be mounted in either a wall or a floor.

Only tools needed are a drill with a 1/8" drill bit for drilling bolt hole pilots and a wrench. Supplied mounting hardware consists of 3 one-way bolts.

Wall Installation

1. Pick your location to mount your safe. Locate between 2 studs. Safe depth is 15.75 --- be sure your site is deep enough for safe or you won't mind it protruding through wall

 
2. Layout and cut a hole 14.5" wide by 13" high between and along the studs.  
3. For added strength, 2 x 4 headers may be attached to the top and bottom of the opening.  
4. Insert safe in opening with the hinges positioned to the right hand side  
5. Drill 1/8" pilot holes and secure safe to studs using 3 supplied one way screws  
Floor Installation

1. Locate site of floor installation between floor joists. Safe depth is 15.75" - Ensure selected site has sufficient clearance for safe body.

 
2. Layout and cut a hole 14.5" wide by 13" high between joists into sub-floor.  
3. For added strength, 2 x 4 cross members can be added between joists. (This step is optional as the sub floor adequately supports the weight of the safe)  
4. Insert safe in opening with the hinges positioned to the right hand side.  
5. Drill 1/8" pilot holes and secure safe to studs using 3 supplied one way screws.
