Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Determine Location: Choose a wall where a ventilation grille would naturally fit, ensuring it's not a load-bearing wall and that there are no obstructions within the wall cavity.
Cut Wall Cavity: Create a hole in the wall with the precise dimensions of 20cm (Height) x 40cm (Width) x 13cm (Depth).
Install Safe: Insert the safe into the created cavity so that the grille is flush with the wall surface.
Secure (Optional): The design simulates being screwed in; ensure the safe is firmly seated within the wall.
Compatibility:
Wall Type: Compatible with standard drywall and plaster walls. Ensure wall thickness can accommodate the safe's depth.
Location: Best suited for areas where a ventilation grille is plausible, such as hallways, utility rooms, or inconspicuous wall sections.
Care:
Cleaning: Wipe the exterior grille and interior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Lock Maintenance: Periodically check the key lock for smooth operation. Lubrication is generally not required unless stiffness occurs.
