Perfect for storing cash, prescriptions, jewelry or a personal firearm, this wall-mount safe is fantastic for the bedroom, office, workshop, or closet. It can even be hid under a picture so that no one knows it even there! Burglary-resistant, the safe is equipped with a digital electronic locking system that lets you choose your own combination, reprogramming it any time you want to any three- to eight-digit combination. With approximately .43 cubic feet of storage space, the safe is designed to fit in standard 2- by 6-inch wall construction with studs 16 inches on center. Equipped with emergency override key that stores inconspicuously onboard, the electronic lock can be overrides if the batteries die or if the combination is forgotten. Dual live bolts lock the door securely. Made of heavy gauge steel, the safe operates on 4 AA batteries (included). Honeywell backs this safe with a limited five-year warranty (no receipt necessary) and a lifetime fire-replacement guarantee. --Brian D. Olson What's in the Box

 Honeywell Wall Safe Expandable |

| Fantastic Product for the Price. Excellent Value and simple to install. The expandable feature is super as we have interior walls that are 6" thick. The extra width makes this a fantastic all purpose safe. Only downside - no fire rating. |

| Like the safe but the screws that come with it are not long enough to be secure. If you buy longer screws (at least in our case) you will be satisfied. |

| I bought two wall safes from Amazon. One with a combination and the digital. I like the digital. It installed easily, but, to do it right, I had to go to the hardware store and buy some longer lag screws. It is very nice to store valuables in. Very heavy product. Feels secure. |
DECENT IN WALL SAFE

I just finished installing this safe. Make sure your 2x4s are on 16" centers. Its better to install it on an inside wall to avoid insulation being in the way and humidity that can build up from the temperature change inside the safe. Read the directions fully. Be careful with the front plastic cap that covers the keyhole, the tabs can break off easily, just place one tab in then gently slide it sideways to engage the other tab.
Make sure the right side of the safe (the hinge side) is up against the 2x4 stud to hold it properly.
Overall it's a heavy duty steel in-wall safe with a digital keypad for entry and a keylock you can use anytime or if the batteries go dead for the digital lock. The inside of the safe has adjustable depth, when installed you push the inside back as far as it will go then screw the sides in. You may want to drill pilot holes first and use longer screws than they provided.
The handle opens easily but after you close the door it's a small hard to push the handle to the closed position. The main thing I don't like about the safe is that when the door is locked you can go the door out about 1/4" open, which would be enough to get a prybar underneath of it and probably pry it open. I am going to glue a metal strip inside the frame where the locking bolts are to take out the extra space so the door wont go. Once I fix the door, I will like it overall. |

Its a safe and it works and it's fine.
Pro's:
The electronics piece seems pretty excellent to me.
Cons:
The front face frame is heavy steel but the expandable case is pretty flimsy - fine I suppose but I was suprised by how they used plate steel on the front and sheet metal on the inside. The face frame is probably 1/4" thick so be aware that if you're hiding behind a painting or mirror, it will sit out a bit. Also, they have 4 large holes on the corner of the face frame for heavy screws - what...do you reckon burglars don't have screwdrivers?!?! Also, the holes aren't countersunk so the will thicken the face even more when putting a painting over.
There are supposed to be predrilled holes on the sides of the inside to screw into the studes, but there are only the slotted holes that allow the back case to expand. Since the back is set in a bit, if you can even fit a screw thru the slots, when you screw in down tight, it bends the sides out a small. Not a huge deal, but seems poorly engineered.
The expandable shelves inside work, but the finished product gives you a small step in the middle of the shelves where it telescopes. ALso the screws to lock in the telescoping feature of the shelves aren't countersunk, so you have two huge screw heads sticking up on each shelf. Both aspects limit the shelves use.
Honeywell, you are a fantastic and glorious company. Were all the engineers off at a conference that week? You can do (and should have done) far, far better.
One foolish thing I did - Interior wall - checked with a stud sensor so I knew where the studs were and assumed they were the normal 16" spacing. Sawz-alled stud to stud and measured the right distance down. Unfortunately, that particular stud was 1" wider spacing that the norm, and the face flange isn't wide enough to cover that gap so I had to piece in a 1" shim and patch the oversized hole. Measure first...measure first... |
