If the batteries run flat on this safe you can use the external battery pack which comes with this model. The pack connects to two external contacts on the keypad allowing you to enter the code and gain entry to the safe. Once the safe is open you can then replace the internal batteries.

Ideally the safe would be best installed to a sold brick wall or concrete floor. However, if this method is not available to you, fixing the safe into timber joists using heavy duty wood screws is certainly better than no fixing at all. Before doing this I would advise checking with your insurer as they may not provide cover if installed to wood.

The unit weighs 15kg and is designed to be floor mounted or affixed to an external wall. You could position this safe in a wardrobe but you need to be certain that the shelf can sufficiently distribute the weight to avoid this being focussed on the fixings in the wall.

The safe comes with bolts around 4 inches in length although you can buy longer bolts from hardware stores if required. We recommended the safe is installed to either brick or concrete directly without any voids/gaps.
