SnapSafein Wall Long Gun Safe - Secure Heavy Duty Flush Security Safe with Digital Keypad - Use as a Gun Cabinet, Rifle Safe, or Home Safe for Valuables - Installs in Minutes, 44 x 16.25 x 4 Inches

Only a drywall saw ($10) and a stud funder ($14) may not be in your DYI arsenal for this project. Of course a level to draw your lines plus an impact wrench to drive your carriage screws make this project even simpler. This safe went in in less than 45 minutes by complete amateurs with the tools listed here. Programming and configuring the safes innards they way you like it is another 5 minutes. Don’t buy this safe if you want to store long guns plus other items. The safe is best for short weapons plus documents/jewelry storage. If you store just one long gun you can’t put in shelves. Measure your guns first, the safe is not that tall. Great quality and only a moron could mess up the install.

I didn’t realize how shallow it is. Other than small items, you will have a difficult time putting anything in it. Nothing long will fit without removing the internal shelves. And if you do put something in, it better be narrow due to the locking mechanism spanning almost the entire width.

Ours arrived with evidence of the package being dropped on the top left corner but it didn’t bend the flange so we went ahead and installed the safe. It was fairly easy. I like the little compartment at the bottom. Probably good for one long gun but be aware of dimensions if that’s the main purpose of your purchase. Great for handguns but you’ll need magnetic gun holders. You can keep important documents, jewelry, cash, etc., safe. We’re very happy with ours.

Since no installation instructions were included with the unit, I had to guess - but using a tape measure I was able to cut the size hole I needed, and the drilling and installing the lags was easy. Here is a tip - punch holes in the felt in the side for the lag bolts prior to drilling so the felt does not get twisted in your drill.I installed myself without help - but another set of hands may have been useful until I get the first 2 lags in.The unit is not as tall as I had envisioned, so I was only able to use 1 shelf on top with my shotgun (with the stock collapsed). I was not able to put in my other long gun as there would not have been room (by using the shelf. Plenty of room if I was not using a shelf).I hot glued velcro straps to the felt on the back to create holding loops for the handguns. This seems to work well.I also do not like that the beeping cannot be silenced. When I get some time, I will try to see if I can deactivate it.Otherwise, this seems to be a well-constructed unit. I may opt to get another.

Looked like a good piece of gear.While slightly smaller than expected, it looked like it would store our items.I have to highlight that the safe arrived with paint/powder coat missing from part of the door. Also arrived with one of the corners bent....not all damage is attributed to shipping...QC definitely lacking

This is a good little wall safe and installed easy. It holds quite a bit and is deep enough to stack up bills and put them inside. The locking mechenism takes up space at the 2nd shelf . The Wife and I are trying to think of a way to get ahold of the resest release knob, as thats how one has to pull it open, the knob is slick and we just have a hard time getting a grip on it. And just FYI this safe is not fireproof. We like this safe, is built well and operates fine.

Easy to install.. works great!! My husband wanted his gun safe back so he bought me this for my jewelry.. Just have to find a mirror/picture to cover.

While it may seem like a good solution and while it may be easy to install, I assure you, you will regret purchasing it. The mechanism and electrical components are secured in a fairly deep metal housing inconveniently situated in the center of the door. This means that it will interfere with anything stored inside. In fact, the metal housing takes up most of the internal space so lights, charging handles and any accessory unfortunate enough to be situated alongside your device will obstruct the door from closing, why? Because the metal housing was put in the worst geographicallocation- smack dab in the middle.Cool idea, failed design.
