Hi there. Today, I’ll explain how to install the V-Line Quick Vault in your wall.
Step 1: Locate the Wall Studs
Before cutting into the wall, find the studs and make sure there’s no electrical wiring or plumbing behind the surface.
- Option 1: Use a stud finder (available at most hardware stores). The indicator lights up when it detects a stud.
- Option 2: Tap on the wall — you’ll hear a difference in sound where the studs are.
Once you’ve located two studs, mark them. Your safe will be installed between them.
Step 2: Cut the Opening
- Using a drywall knife (or another cutting tool), poke a starter hole and begin cutting.
- Start with a small inspection hole so you can double-check for wires or pipes.
- If you encounter minor cables, carefully push them aside.
- Once clear, cut the full opening to fit the safe.
- Clean up the edges of the cut.
Step 3: Position the Safe
- Slide the Quick Vault into the opening.
- Open the door and remove the felt side panels to access the mounting holes.
- Mark the four mounting hole positions on the studs (two on each side).
- Remove the safe and drill pilot holes into the studs.
Step 4: Secure the Safe
- Place the safe back into the wall.
- Using the included lag bolts and washers, fasten the safe through the pre-marked holes.
- Start all four bolts before fully tightening them. Then, go back and snug each one.
- Do not overtighten.
Step 5: Install the Shelf
- Inside the safe, you’ll notice slits in the felt backing that reveal rows of mounting holes.
- Choose your preferred shelf height.
- Align the shelf brackets with the holes and secure with the included screws.
Step 6: Finishing Touches
- Test the door to ensure smooth operation.
- Vacuum up drywall dust and touch up any exposed drywall around the installation.
- The safe’s flange covers most cut edges, leaving a neat, finished look.
- Because the safe sits nearly flush, you can hang a picture over it for concealment if desired.
Using the Safe
To open:
- Turn the knob.
- Enter your programmed code using the push buttons.
- Turn the knob again to unlock.
That’s it — your Quick Vault is installed and ready to use.
