What clearance do you need in your drawer to open this safe?

You probably want to pull the drawer out so the safe is completely exposed, that would be about 8". This would allow the safe to be fully open. If not, you need about 6 " between the bottom and the top of the safe when open to slide your gun out.

My safe also came with a key to open the safe, the only thing was once I put the key in it wouldn't come out. Not much of a safe if you can't remove the key!

Sorry Nicole, i didn't understand the reason of the question. The fingerprint reader is fixed over the door and you have to face the flanges on the wall. The depth moulded in the wall should be enough to fit the safe, 3.73".

Be certain that none of the contents within the safe are too close to the door opening. They must sit back to allow for the door thickness once it is closed.

The one I purchased measured 20 inches high, 10 inches across and 19 inches deep. The 21 inch clearance requirement relates to the depth of the cupboard into which you want to install the unit. To accurately place the unit in the cupboard for installation, remove the inner bin temporarily, place a wooden clothes pin on the bent part of the handle, placed the unit in the cupboard and closed the door. The clothes pin provides a little clearance between the handle part and the inside of the door. Open the door, mark the position of the frame mount holes. Use a small drill bit and drill the mounting holes in both front and back of the frame. Secure the frame with the supplied screws. Replace the bin. Remove the clothes pin. There were special garbage bag liners included, but we use the normal kitchen tidy bags and they work well...overall...a great buy...

when installed, the drawer will extend out 24 inches. they are 24 inches closed and roughly 48 open.

Height clearance is fine. You'll have to cut the drawer insert to size. Ours was cut to 19" using a jig saw. If you have the 20" organizer it will leave approximately 2" of your drawer exposed.

The shelves get in the way...but you can its just placement inside the safe. Mine closes just fine

The entire back is open. Without having it near to measure, plan on the width of the cabinet, less ~ 1-inch for the combined side boards. Also, the slide-out drawer is not full depth, so you have 3+inches behind it. I have a lot of wires/extension cords stuffed behind it, and still able to slide tight agains the wall, hiding all of them (except for the outlet on the wall). I hope that helps.

The drawers are on glides. They open very smoothly and I only use one hand. Sometimes when closing tightly I give it a little extra. I have never had them get stuck.

The lower drawer opens and closes if that's what you're asking. the upper compartment's lid is on a hinge and opens and shuts.

2.5 inch MAX clearance on the depth before things start to get "caught" or hung up when opening and closing... if you are looking for front-to-back depth, you have a full 12 inches (and up to 1/2 inch more) as the drawer front bows out slightly. it will store a ream of letter-size paper with ease.

(3) which open to the left side opening of the safe. Hinges are concealed within the safe.

The mounting bracket could be mounted either horizontally or vertically. The safe when mounted horizontally however, upon being opened, has a drawer that slides forward to retrieve the contents. As the drawer pulls forward it slants down and "catches a stop on the back of the drawer so the drawer doesn't continue to fall out of the safe onto the ground. If mounted vertically, I could picture the drawer releasing all the way to the ground because it does not slant forward and catch the retaining stop. If a vertical mount is desired, it could be accommodated without the drawer but that might make the contents harder to retrieve.

Yes, definitely. There's over 2.75 inches of clearance underneath the drawer.

What part are you wanting to open? The case should just lift up and the DVD drawer has a release mechanism right at the corner of the door on the left side of the unit -- on the right side of the door.

Good question. No answer. I'll have to open the old safe and take a look. Now you have me worried!!
