Installing your S6 Permanent KeySafe™
Before you begin, please remember:
It may be easier to set or change your key safe code before you install it. For guidance on how to set a code in your KeySafe contact our support centre
If possible, we recommend you install your key safe out of line of easy sight for passers-by and in a position of good light to make it easier for the user
You must use the included masonry screws
Do not mount your key safe closer than 6” or 15cm to the corner of a masonry surface
Make sure your key safe is mounted flush with the masonry surface and the masonry screws are only installed directly into brick. Never install masonry screws into mortar and minimize all gaps between back of the vault and the masonry surface
There is no need to use rawl plugs as each screw cuts its own thread
If you are relocating your key safe you will need to purchase new masonry screws. New masonry screws can be purchased online or by calling our customer service team on 0330 363 0303
Installing your KeySafe
To correctly install your Permanent KeySafe you will need the following items: Power drill, a 5mm drill bit suitable for metal, a 4mm drill bit longer than 70mm and suitable for masonry, a P2 Screwdriver, a pencil and tape.
- Prior to fitting your KeySafe to the wall you will need to enlarge the 4 corner holes in the back of the KeySafe using your 5mm metal drill bit. This will enable the screws to pass through the vault.
- Using the KeySafe as a guide, mark each of the 4 drill holes with pencil on your wall. Ensure that all 4 holes are going into solid brick and not into the mortar lines
- Using a small amount of tape, mark the required drill depth on your 4mm masonry drill bit. We advise this to be a minimum of 70mm deep.
- Once drilled, place all 4 masonry screws through the vault and use a P2 screwdriver bit to secure your KeySafe to the wall. We recommend that you screw in each masonry screw a little at a time to ensure a secure fixing. Take care not to overtighten and check that your KeySafe is flush to the wall. (When installing the Permanent KeySafe, before you drive the screws home, make certain the lip on the rubber weather cover is under the KeySafe before you tighten all 4 screws.)
