Securing the Vault – All Models
Mounting Instructions
The Vault can be mounted in almost any direction. Think carefully before you begin to drill
holes; make sure you could easily reach the keypad, but protect the safe from children.
IMPORTANT: Do not mount the Vault with the
door facing down! The contents could fall out when
the door is opened!
Think about your own unique mounting requirements.
You may wish to use washers, lag bolts, or other
mounting devices for reasons of your own.
Compare the Mounting Template to the safe. Notice
the mounting holes in the bottom of the safe. There are
two “key-slot” holes, and four round holes.
a) Using the template provided, drill starter holes with drill bits appropriate for your
installation. Drive screws only into the two key-slot holes. Drive the screws in until just
enough room is left between the head of the screw and the mounting surface to permit you to
slide the Vault’s key slots over the screws.
b) Slide the Vault key-slots on over the screws.
c) Now lift the foam padding in the bottom of the Vault and insert screws into remaining holes
as desired, to retain the safe in place. A minimum of three (3) screws must be used to mount
the safe.
d) Tighten all screws and smooth the foam lining. Your Vault is now securely attached to the
mounting surface!
Security Cable Instructions (Optional Accessory)
“Knock-outs” are provided on both sides to permit attachment of the Security Cable. If the
Security Cable is to be installed, use a punch or nail set and a hammer to remove the knock-out.
Before inserting cable mount, be sure to remove the little metal knock-out tab from your safe.
Do not allow this small metal piece to remain inside your safe.
Hint: A pair of needle-nosed pliers will be useful for installing the hitch pin.
a) First, loop the end of the security cable through the eye and around a
stationary object.
b) Then, insert the threaded mount through the hole in the safe.
c) Hold the mount in place while you slide the star washer over the threaded end inside the safe.
d) Spin on the nut and tighten “finger tight.”
e) Insert the Hitch Pin into the hole to ensure the nut cannot come off.
