25.6" Tall Fireproof Wall Safe Between Studs 16" Centers | Hidden Wall Safe

This safe arrived quickly and was well wrapped with corner protections. It was easy to install even though there is no instructions and I've even dismantled the mechanism to and evaluated that it is sturdy enough to keep honest thieves away. Some cheap safes for about the same price do have pins of plastic and can be unlocked just by rocking them, this one doesn't as all parts are metal, albeit not completely unbreakable. It also fits nicely in the wall barely protruding at all, no more than 3/8 of an inch, so concealing behind pictures or furniture is very easy. Programming a code is very easy and the provided key works just fine in case you loose your code. Make sure you're precise with your drywall cuts as the lip is only 3/8 inch and won't cover much over the opening. Sure, the metal door could be thicker and the locking pins could be more in the center to reduce any prying at the corners, but for the price, I think it's hard to beat. It does fit nicely between studs and I took the liberty to wrap it in a fireproof blanket to increase it's fire rating (comes with none), although it's surely nowhere near officially rated safes. With a 5/16 blanket around, it fits really snugly between the studs. Three main critics for this model: 1) the locking mechanism takes a lot of space on the inside, so you can't put anything bulky on the second shelf, 2) the shelves are pretty flimsy and will bend under even 30 ounces of weight, they also appear to be slightly crooked and not perfectly leveled and 3) the hidden stash at bottom is pretty useless, very shallow and as soon as you put something remotely heavier than papers on the lid, it pops open canceling the purpose of hidden storage and reducing the amount of heavy stuff you can put in the safe even further. But for the price, I think this is a reasonable product to keep your precious things away from loose hands.

The safe is nice. It is a descent size but beware, the key pad/ combination pad on the door does obviously take up some of the space. It works for what we need. Easy to set up. Wasn’t hard to install as long as you know how to cut a hole in the wall properly. I won’t be showing a pic bc it’s a secret. Lol! It’s sturdy, and a little heavy which you would want. It took two of us to put it in the hole but we’re older. I feel it’s a great value and worth buying.

Packaged well, arrived undamaged. Install took about 2 hrs. The dimensions of the product that fits between studs is 13.75", rather than the standard dimension of space between 16-inch center studs (14.5). The overall width of the product is not much wider so the drywall hole needs to be cut right at 13.75" wide to ensure that the box sits flush to the wall. I bolted the safe up against one of the studs, leaving a 3/4" gap between the other side of the safe and the other stud. I used a little longer lag bolts on that side to ensure secure attachment. It worked OK. Looks nice. Instructions for operating the locking mechanism/key/keypad was good. Overall, we are happy with it. On sturdiness, the metal box is plenty sturdy, but plastic portion (the lock/unlock knob, key cover plate, and the area all of that is mounted on) is rated a 4. Our goal with this safe is that a thief would have to spend time and make noise in attempting to gain access, or attempt to carry off the safe, which is pretty much the goal with any safe, and it satisfies that goal. So its good.

Looks beautiful inside the wall. The computer pad and the keys work perfectly. Very good product.

Very heavy duty wall safe. You can silence the key function but it isn’t loud at all. Has enough space for what we need it for and very easy to operate. With the money to me.
