The dimentions say the safe is 4"X12"X14". The distance between two studs (16" on Center) is 14". That means the safe will have 1/4" space on each side. What do you do? Just shim the safe?

Yes, you can either put some 1/4" shim stock on the studs or like in my case, i just tighted the lag bolts until I felt slight resistance. don't overtighten or you could deform the safe. My gap was slightly less than 1/4" on each side (wood and houses aren't perfect) but it is plenty strong. I'm not overly concerned about would be theives from prying it out since mine safe is hidden and to be honest, if they find it and want it, they will find a way to get it out.

Sorry only 4" maybe a shade under All of the book safes are the same as it is a standard insert

My son has this safe at college. He said it is about 2 1/2" wide/round by 4" deep. He does not believe it will fit the box.

The color of mine is listed as "silver gray" and the interior dimension is pretty close. I measured not quite 13 inches wide by 9 1/2 inches by a little more than 4 1/2 inches deep. There are no handles. There is an indentation on each side of the safe near the bottom to aid you in carrying the safe.

It is about 3-4 inches bigger than the dimensions of the safe. My container is long gone so that is my best estimate.

As promised, I tried when I got home. It is too small to fit a shotgun (even a short barreled shotgun) or a rifle. If you were to take all the shelves out, you could probably get something in on a diagonal, but that would be pretty wasteful of a safe - you need a TALLER safe.

15-1/2 total width, with 2" frame going around. So the door opening is smaller than the studs opening, only about 13 (taking away some hinge space). So you end up with about 3/4" hidden behind the frame on either side. The actual outside width of the box is 14.25", exactly the amount that should fit between two 16" on center studs. When installing, keep in mind any power that will be running through studs. What I did was cut the opening up top around 4' from stud to stud, making an opening of about 12" high. Then I inserted a camera and snapped a photo facing down. That gives you a look at what's waiting down below... a nice white power cable running to an outlet! Dang. I slipped a measuring tape down until I caught it, then approximated a couple of inches higher, then calculated the required cut-out height of my opening so that I'd stay above that.

I'm guessing that'd you like to sink it into a wall? Yes it could easily fit between studs, however the depth of the safe is thicker than your normal wall. Note it has 6 mount holes in the back and 4 on the floor.

Mine installs to the right or left side, top or back. I side mounted it to a horizontal 2x4 that was screwed to the existing studs. Then I damaged the screws so you cannot remove the 2x4. The attaching screws for the safe to the 2x4 can only be accessed by opening the safe.

I have a tight space too. 17 3/4 w x 10 3/4 h x 12 d My shelf is actually only 10 3/4, but the unit is nicely finished and so it looks OK. This was the closest fit I could find.

Yes it will fit in a standard wall with 2x4 studs are 16 inches on center the safe is made to fit in the stud bay bare in mind that a dressed 2x4 is 1/3/4 by 3 1/2 my safe fit ok and did not come through the sheet rock the backside of the safe Good luck with the installation

The safe is exactly 14 inches wide and 12 inches high. This is the drywall cut size to fit the safe in the wall. Hope this helps.

Not sure what size that one is, but in the narrow side of the safe you can fit 2 .50 Cal ammo cans (like the ones bought in an army surplus store) side-by-side. However you would need to lift one up and over the other to get it out do to the lip of the door jam.

The face of the safe sits 1/4 inch from the wall plus the keypad is out 1/2 inch from the face of the safe. You could use a picture but it would need to have that amount of space (at least 3/4 inch) between the frame and the back of the picture to cover the safe.

1) How wide is the frame that will show on the wall? From left edge to right edge is 17 inches.2) How far from the edge of the frame to the door hinge? 4 inches.3) Could the safe be mounted so the door opens to the right? Sure. That's how ours is installed.

There's a 1"x2" brace that the door mounts to that cuts into the front outside corner of the storage area. These measurements are the area behind that brace. Just under 14"Dx19.25Wxjust under 15H. The shelf is adjustable and could be omitted.

Good afternoon Mary, the safe is 53 1/2" high. Hope this information helps.
