In-Wall Safe with Electronic Keypad and 2 Manual Override Keys - Protect Money, Jewelry, and Passports at Home or Business by Paragon Safes (Gray)

Great little upgrade to our bedroom it T great size for pew pew and money storage keep away from children well built and very nice

I like this product. Probably not super armored but definately a theft deterant. It has 6 3/16" lags that security it within a stud bay. Most studs are on 16" centers so there is 14.5" inbetween in theory. This is almost never the case in reality so you'llBe happy to know that this wallSafe width is 14.25". Very thoughtful.I just found a stud near where I wanted the safe and cut into the area to the right and determined exactly where the opening between studs was. Then cut horizontally across until I reached the width of 14 3/8". Then Used a 2" level to plumb down 20 3/8". Used a level to get nice straight lines. Used a drywall saw to follow my layout lines. Set the safe in the hole and drilled pilots holes and then used an impact driver to set lags. The hex head is in metric. 5/16" is too small and 3/8" is just a hair too small. It was close enough that I could use the 3/8" socket to drive the lag in. Never done that in 10 years of contracting but it worked and I didnt have to track down a metric driver set or socket set.Easy to follow instructions. Simple to use. Batteries included. Pretty straight forward. Feels very secure.

This would be a great deal for a possible hidden in wall safe if u had any access to the second shelf. I dont understand why the electrical box for the unit needs to be so large. Its 2020 come on uneccesary. Basically I have the top and bottom chef unless u just put some paper work flat against the back. I also had to buy a motion light to put on the unit. You would think with the size of the box u could atleast install a light or even make it an add on feature but wire it in. I added a light and my studs were not correct for the spot I wanted to put the safe which was in a closet and against a concrete wall. It will eventually be covered so hidden. I had to do some major changes for my studs to work in the corner like pictured. So you would think there would automatically be a stud in the corner but there wasn't on mine so I had to add 2 layers of 2x4 to get a stud on the left side. Then the stud on the right was too close so I had to mark and cut it out then added about a 6 ft board on the farthest side to make mine work where I wanted it. Yours should work much easier. I had anticipated this because I used a stud finder and located the studs before installing. Thing is ive never understood just installing these in random spots in a wall specially a wall that has drywall behind it. Easy access easy to get out they just steal the entire safe knowing there is something valuable in there. So my in back to back with a concrete foundation wall in the basement and I anchored mine to the concrete as well as the studs so its not and easy get. If u take mine your going to have to go through the door or cut into the door. Still not impossible but much harder. I also bought some waterproof and fireproof bags to put my stuff inside the safe it not pictured but they are there. Buy some good quality ones if u take this step. Overall not a bad safe at all of u install correctly and just keep in mind all your doing is slowing down a thief not stopping them. So id have to say knowing all of this im happy with my purchase. Just take your time when laying it out plan where to put it and make it as safe as possible.

Bought a similar product back in 2012, but recently had a problem that required that I engage a locksmith to open the safe. Unfortunately all attempts failed and it required the locksmith to destroy the safe...so I bought another one. I installed it today and it was easy peasy, though this time I will put the safe on quarterly test schedule to make sure the batteries don't leak and the solenoid does not stick or freeze. The locksmith came highly recommended and tried every trick to open the safe before drilling the lock and even then it was a very real tedious and complicated effort requiring more drilling and probing to successfully open the safe. It was well over two hours and about $470.00 (including trip charge) to open the safe.

Just finished installing this wall safe. A few comments on the installation. There are no installation instructions but it's all common sense and there's a few You Tube videos out there to show you what to do. The safe itself fits exactly between two studs. IMO - Having a good stud finder made all the difference. I purchased a JAXWQ stud finder on Amazon and it worked great. Also, I added a 2X4 on the bottom for the safe to sit on while installing the screws into the studs. Use a level to make sure everything is straight. The safe is no frills but solid. Installing the batteries and passcodes was easy. So overall, there were no surprises on install which I appreciate. You really can't go wrong with this safe for the price point.

I have purchased 6 of these over past 7 years. The most recent 2 stopped working. It was the electronic digital keypad. The supplier went out of biz. One unit was purchased recently, so Amazon took it back. The other unit was outside of the return window. A third party took over servicing these units. I communicated with them and no parts, just lip service. Support is by email only which is tedious. Net net, one returned and one in the wall with key access only. I don't know about the other units I purchased because they are in properties I no longer own. I don't recommend it. You probably need to spend a bit more on a different safe.

Will recommend, came unlocked with keys and instructions. Very simple to install and is what I wanted.
