Before installing a wall safe, you need to determine the right location because you will need a hole in it. Consider the following points:
The wall opening must be big enough to surround the safe on all sides with at least 100 mm of concrete.
Position the safe inside the hole with the 'Top' sign above; make sure the safe is not upside down. The vault must be aligned and well wedged.
Prepare the right concrete mix for filling the wall opening, which includes 3 parts gravel (0-32 mm in size), 1 part cement and just enough water to get the right consistency.
Protect your safe from the concrete using a plastic foil.
Prepare a formwork to mark your wall opening before pouring the concrete. Fill in the wall opening and spread well using a concrete rake.
After you have installed the safe, wait 48 hours before removing the formwork. Then you can open the safe for airing.
