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

So far so good. I'm 63yo female and was able to install this myself. Needed a stud finder, drill and bits bigger than I thought I'd need, a stubby short Phillips head screw driver to remove the shelves, a level, painters tape, sawzall, measuring multiple times and a whole lot of stubbornness in me to not give up. Check what's on the other side of the wall. Mine was next to a bathroom. I knew about the light switches hence measurements multiple times. I'm one that barely has pictures hanging because I don't want to put a hole in the wall. For me to cut a 17" x 15" hole is huge. The first picture makes it look crooked. Trust me it is not, its the angle. I first cut a hole big enough to see inside. Good thing I did since there was wires stapled to the stud. I was able to move those enough to place my anchor screws. The instructions tell you to tap the wall with a hammer to find the studs LOL.. that's cute.

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

What you would expect. It’s a good safe. Is it going to stop a motivated individual with a crowbar from getting into it? No. Will it stop kids and novice burglars? Yup. I wouldn’t store 100k cash in it. I wouldn’t store multiple firearms and ammo in it. I would use it for a quick accessed storage of a firearm. Great for someone who everyday carries and wants a safe in a closet by their front door to put their firearm at the end of the day. Great for keys, maybe some important personal stuff etc. Great for the price.

Great safe, fit inside studs, needs a few extra things. My hubby installed it in an hour. The safe itself has plenty of room for money, small items and some jewelry. Not a gun safe though.

Love this wall safe! Thick heavy steel! Digital combo lock and a back up key!

Great product , easy to install and set lock code. Seems well built...

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.

Current situation: 6/02/26: I am afraid to close the door. I seldom open the safe, maybe 2-3 times a year. Today, when opening the safe- the knob is loose, and now I am afraid to close the door. Original review in 2023:Let me first say, my review rating is based on my needs/intentions. The package arrived quickly. Although the cardboard exterior was damaged, the seller used sturdy packing around the safe. The safe was in plastic. Now, I cannot remember where the small cardboard was located. It could have been inside or outside the safe. It was damaged, and the contents, which were keyes, instruction to lock the safe, and 4 bolts, fell out. Upon completion of the install, reading the instructions said there were batteries included. This was not indicated on the list showing what was included. SO, the install was yesterday - today I have to buy the batteries, 4 double AA. That is not why I took stars off. The install was easy enough. For reference, I am a 65 yo female. I used a step stool to hold the safe when needed. Since the bolts included were really for cement installation - which would be nice, if that was my intention, I bought general construction 3" wood screws. (wish I knew I needed the batteries at that time). The interior has two shelves. they can be taken out, but cannot be adjusted to different heights. This is where the stars come off- and again, has to do with my needs. I bought the safe and choose the size based on my intention to place a 12 x 8 metal box inside. That was my entire reason to buy the safe. I had figured the size I chose would easily accommodate it. Wrong. If you look at the pictures, you see a middle shelf. It is located behind the locking mechanism. I took that shelf out to place my box. Welllllllll, what I had not known, and if I did, I would not have bought this safe- the mechanism is about 4" H x 8" L and about 2 inches deep. This renders the middle shelf useless unless it is less than 2" deep. The positioning is about 10-11" high - so my 12" box does not fit. I am so disgusted, that I wanted to give 1 star, but knew that would not be fair. I really do not want to return and order a larger safe because 1/ there may be a horizontal stud that would interfere, and 2/ I am not sure my old body could install a heavier safe. I want to vent (make that scream), but I also wanted to forewarn someone else. Otherwise, the safe was nicely made. Still not sure what I am going to do!!!

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.

I was initially very happy. The safe installation wasn't too complicated, a small amount of DIY to cut a hole in the plasterboard, screw the safe to the studs and tidy up. BUT - I didn't have any batteries to hand when I first fitted it. So I was just using the emergency key, maybe a dozen times. I finally get myself the right batteries but the key no longer opens the door!! I'm locked out. Not happy!

Just arrived and easy install. Pros: Easy install, easy set up, sturdy, removable shelves. Good structure to the frame and shelves. Things to consider: Even though shelves are removable they are not adjustable so it’s shelf or not. The “hidden compartment” can’t add anything bulky, maybe a few rings or jewelry but even a key under it exposes the latch and will not close. Middle shelf is pretty much useless as the locking mechanism takes up most of the depth so 1/3 of the safe is limited space. It does stick out of the wall by 1/4” of an inch so if you want it flush you’ll not be able to with this safe. Locks aren’t perfect, the knob to turn the lock is plastic and does feel a bit cheap. Cons: “Fits between 16” studs, doesn’t mean the safe is 16” wide. It’s actually 14” wide so you need to add a brace to keep the safe steady or just lag bolt on 1 side. The key holder on the door doesn’t really hold keys. Any car key/long key or bulky keys will catch on the shelf so the door doesn’t close. Wish the key hooks were in the back wall.

very happy

Very happy with size and easy to install in wall.
