In-Wall Safe with Electronic Keypad and 2 Manual Override Keys - Protect Money, Jewelry, and Passports at Home or Business by Paragon Safes (Gray)

Just finished installing this wall safe. A few comments on the installation. There are no installation instructions but it's all common sense and there's a few You Tube videos out there to show you what to do. The safe itself fits exactly between two studs. IMO - Having a good stud finder made all the difference. I purchased a JAXWQ stud finder on Amazon and it worked great. Also, I added a 2X4 on the bottom for the safe to sit on while installing the screws into the studs. Use a level to make sure everything is straight. The safe is no frills but solid. Installing the batteries and passcodes was easy. So overall, there were no surprises on install which I appreciate. You really can't go wrong with this safe for the price point.

I read many reviews and was holding my breath a little when I ordered this one. I am relieved to tell you this turned out to be a great buy. - This fits between the wall studs (US building code) without any issues. - Easy to install, included the mounting hardware and directions for setting up lock codes. - As with all between the studs wall safes, the middle shelf has limited use since much of its space is taken up with the locking mechanism. - The shelves can be removed if needed. - The top an bottom shelf have a decent amount of room to store what you need to. My biggest concern was finding a wall safe that would fit between the studs. Many other products had reviews that indicated they did not fit between the studs without having to trim the studs. - This safe fits between 16" on center 2x4 studs. - The in wall width is 14.25" giving you 1/4" of wiggle room for framers that missed by a little bit. - I had no issues setting the unlock codes. - You can set up to 2 codes from 3 - 8 digits each. - after 3 failed attempts safe will lock you out for 20 seconds No it is not fireproof, nor does it not claim to be. This is a good solution for keeping items locked up and out of reach. Some people have reviewed that they could easily pry open this safe. While I do believe a determined person might be able to do so, it would not be easy.

I have installed several wall safes in different homes and thought I would try this one out since the price was significantly less than other brands and it had all the features of a good wall safe. For the price, I am really pleased with it based on its solid quality and ease of use/installation. In comparing this to another leading brand I installed that is much more expensive, this ones main drawback is that it is not really flush to the wall if you want to mount a picture over it. You will need to build a shadow box frame around this safe if you want to cover it with a picture. This is because the outside flange/door sticks out (almost 1/4") and in addition the combination lock protrudes out from the face (adding almost another 1/2"). The other brand I used before had a recessed door and uses a very thin keypad so it does not protrude out from the face --allowing a picture to cover it by just hanging it over the safe or using a simple piano hinge to hold the picture on the side. That said, Paragon's design does give you a little more shelf space depth than others, although the second shelf is mostly unusable since the interior locking bolt mechanism is very thick, taking up most of the second shelf (the other expensive brand has a mechanism half the size of this one). Setting the keypad combination was easy by following the instruction sheet. While this safe did NOT come with any wall installation instructions, it was easy to install with the provided 6 wood screw lag bolts for the side walls. Tools you will need are a level (must be level or the heavy door may not spring open), drywall saw, stud finder, a compact electric drill that can be used inside the safe to drill holes sideways for the lag bolts, as well as a ratcheting wrench or nut driver to screw in the lag bolts. When measuring, be sure to watch out for fire-stop studs that sometimes intersect the regular 16" on center wall studs (I had to raise the safe up higher to avoid the fire-stop cross stud in my home). I suggest you cut a small hole in the drywall first, then explore the inside of the wall with a coat hanger wire to make sure nothing is in the way before you cut out the full size hole for the safe. Make sure the studs allow enough space to fit the wall safe in between them.

This is my second wall safe and I'm very happy with this one after making some adjustments. Comparing to the Stack-On PWS 15522, this one is cheaper but may be a bit more solid. It uses 6 bolts into the studs instead of 4. However, the Stack-On allowed me to turn off the button beeping without modifying it. I also found the Stack-On to have sturdier shelves. As for the Paragon 7725, the first thing to note is after unboxing, I tried the key with the safe flat on my table, the safe door facing up. The key didn't work until it was tipped upright. I almost thought I had a problem since I had read a review about the key not working. Installation was as expected. It fit easily between the studs which were just slightly wider than the safe width. I added a piece of 2x4 at the bottom to help with installation. I use a Kreg Mini Jig Pocket Hole Kit to attach to the studs on either side. The door had a little play to it which I found irritating when hitting the keypad if I didn't hold the door closed so I added a piece of 1/4" weather stripping to the inside of the door jamb, lengthwise. (photo attached) As many have noted, the beeping is too loud for my purposes. I didn't want to use a solder gun on the circuit board. Instead, I removed the cover to the circuit board and used a small screwdriver to carefully pop off the cover to the speaker (photo attached). Under the cap was a small metal piece which amplified the beep. With that removed, it made a very muted, barely audible beep when pushing the keypad buttons. This was perfect for me, although I realized I was proceeding at my own risk. Please proceed at your own risk if you attempt the same. Overall, great product for protecting a few small items out of sight.

Purchased this safe for to store away few papers etc. As advertised it could hold cash or a small to medium firearm. Very secure. Found it to be very heavy and durable. When you open the door it has a slight spring outward motion with a spring mounted on the inside of the door to help open the door. It installed easily into the 16" on center wall studs nicely. Just cut the required rear opening size into the drywall. It includes some heavy duty lag bolts to secure the safe into the wall studs, (2x4). It has a nice wide flange around the front of the safe to hide any minor cutting errors on the drywall if you happen to make any. I secured the backside of the frontal flange with silicone caulking to help it give a nice secure and seamless look into the wall.. This safe is very flush to the wall including the keypad and the turn knob. If desired, you could hang a poster or a picture etc over it to disguise it from anyone. It has a couple of shelves inside which I really felt don't do a lot, but are there if you could use them. Depends what you are storing in the safe. When it arrived it, I found it to be quite heavy. I would guess in the neighbourhood of 50 lbs. It might be wise to have some help to install inside the wall cavity to level it off and secure it to the wall studs, due to the weight. It has both a combo lock which you can use 2 different combinations and 2 keys for back up in case the batteries die. Had this safe for 7 months now and it is still working great. Has a nice 10 yr warranty if anything should go wrong. Only issue could possibly be the digital combination lock, as it appears, there is nothing else that could wear out . I have a family member who is thinking about getting the same safe, so this a safe I would definitely purchase again. **Note I did not receive this safe for free or for a discount. This is my honest opinion from my experience with this purchase. I make all of my reviews as accurate as possible of my purchases.

Todo me llego en orden

It's great. Easy to install, only took a few minutes. Works amazing. Super cheap.

Perfect, thank you very much

Excelente caja fuerte. Precio insuperable. Calidad buenísima. Difícil de instalar ya que lo hice en muro de ladrillo y fue un gran trabajo hacer el agujero para ensamblarla. Pero una vez hecho quedó súper oculta, resistente y además le coloqué tornillos de muro a muro así que imposible de arrancarla. El único detalle es que no se puede desactivar el ruido al oprimir cada tecla de la clave y puede escucharlo gente cerca. Además se abre con llave así que no hay riesgo de pérdida de clave. El espacio interior suficiente para una caja de este tipo. Realmente es una buena caja de seguridad anti ladrones. Aunque la llegaran a encontrar tardarían horas en arrancarla al menos que llevaran picos y palas para hacerlo. La clave es que no la encuentren. Y con un cuadro encima no lo harán. Es fácil para abrirla diario si uno desea. Caben perfecto relojes, llaves de coches, dinero, monedas, joyas, facturas vehiculares (dobladas) y demás. Está pesada pero es prueba de su resistencia. La puede instalar uno solo (yo lo hice). Por tan poco dinero no entiendo por qué la gente sigue arriesgando esconder sus valores en lugares simples y vulnerables.
