Nebakne 25.6" Tall Fireproof Wall Safes Between The Studs 16" Centers, Hidden Wall Safe with 2 Removable Shelf & Hidden Tray, Heavy Duty Wall Mount Safe for Firearms, Money, Jewelry, Passport Black

This safe arrived quickly and was well wrapped with corner protections. It was easy to install even though there is no instructions and I've even dismantled the mechanism to and evaluated that it is sturdy enough to keep honest thieves away. Some cheap safes for about the same price do have pins of plastic and can be unlocked just by rocking them, this one doesn't as all parts are metal, albeit not completely unbreakable. It also fits nicely in the wall barely protruding at all, no more than 3/8 of an inch, so concealing behind pictures or furniture is very easy. Programming a code is very easy and the provided key works just fine in case you loose your code. Make sure you're precise with your drywall cuts as the lip is only 3/8 inch and won't cover much over the opening. Sure, the metal door could be thicker and the locking pins could be more in the center to reduce any prying at the corners, but for the price, I think it's hard to beat. It does fit nicely between studs and I took the liberty to wrap it in a fireproof blanket to increase it's fire rating (comes with none), although it's surely nowhere near officially rated safes. With a 5/16 blanket around, it fits really snugly between the studs. Three main critics for this model: 1) the locking mechanism takes a lot of space on the inside, so you can't put anything bulky on the second shelf, 2) the shelves are pretty flimsy and will bend under even 30 ounces of weight, they also appear to be slightly crooked and not perfectly leveled and 3) the hidden stash at bottom is pretty useless, very shallow and as soon as you put something remotely heavier than papers on the lid, it pops open canceling the purpose of hidden storage and reducing the amount of heavy stuff you can put in the safe even further. But for the price, I think this is a reasonable product to keep your precious things away from loose hands.

Very happy with size and easy to install in wall.

I was initially very happy. The safe installation wasn't too complicated, a small amount of DIY to cut a hole in the plasterboard, screw the safe to the studs and tidy up. BUT - I didn't have any batteries to hand when I first fitted it. So I was just using the emergency key, maybe a dozen times. I finally get myself the right batteries but the key no longer opens the door!! I'm locked out. Not happy!

Just arrived and easy install. Pros: Easy install, easy set up, sturdy, removable shelves. Good structure to the frame and shelves. Things to consider: Even though shelves are removable they are not adjustable so it’s shelf or not. The “hidden compartment” can’t add anything bulky, maybe a few rings or jewelry but even a key under it exposes the latch and will not close. Middle shelf is pretty much useless as the locking mechanism takes up most of the depth so 1/3 of the safe is limited space. It does stick out of the wall by 1/4” of an inch so if you want it flush you’ll not be able to with this safe. Locks aren’t perfect, the knob to turn the lock is plastic and does feel a bit cheap. Cons: “Fits between 16” studs, doesn’t mean the safe is 16” wide. It’s actually 14” wide so you need to add a brace to keep the safe steady or just lag bolt on 1 side. The key holder on the door doesn’t really hold keys. Any car key/long key or bulky keys will catch on the shelf so the door doesn’t close. Wish the key hooks were in the back wall.

The safe is nice. It is a descent size but beware, the key pad/ combination pad on the door does obviously take up some of the space. It works for what we need. Easy to set up. Wasn’t hard to install as long as you know how to cut a hole in the wall properly. I won’t be showing a pic bc it’s a secret. Lol! It’s sturdy, and a little heavy which you would want. It took two of us to put it in the hole but we’re older. I feel it’s a great value and worth buying.
