How to install a wall safe

Updated: Jan 8, 2023

G'day mate! If you're looking to increase the security of your home or business, installing a safe is a great option. These handy devices allow you to store valuables and important documents in a secure location, and with a bit of elbow grease and a bit of know-how, they're easy to install yourself. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to install a safe:


Step 1: Gather your materials. You'll need a safe, screws, a drill, a drill bit, a screwdriver, a brass tape measure, and a pencil.


Step 2: Measure the location for the safe. Measure the distance from the ground to the location where you want to install the safe, as well as the distance from the wall to the location where you want to install the safe. This will help you make sure you get the right size safe for your location.


Step 3: Mark the location for the safe. Hold the safe against the wall at the desired location and use a pencil to mark the spots where the screws will go.


Step 4: Drill holes for the screws. Using a drill and a drill bit, drill holes at the marked locations. The holes should be slightly larger than the diameter of the screws.


Step 5: Install the safe. Hold the safe against the wall and insert the screws through the holes. Secure the safe in place using the screws provided.


Step 6: Test the safe. Test the safe to make sure it's properly secured and functioning correctly. If needed, make any necessary adjustments.


Step 7: Set the combination. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to set the combination for the safe. Make sure to choose a combination that is easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess.


And there you have it! With a bit of elbow grease and a bit of know-how, you can easily install a safe like a true blue man from Tarragindi. Just remember, if you're not sure about any part of the process, it's always best to consult with a professional locksmith for assistance.
