Can this be recessed into the wall between the studs? Thanks!

If your wall studs are no closer than 16 inches center to center for the full length of the cabinet, and your cabinet is no wider than 15 inches, this will work. Just leave room for the door to open and close.

Probably not b/c the door wouldn't open unless it stuck out at least a bit.

If supported either on the bottom or screwed in from the sides, I'd think so - it's not that heavy on it's own, but full would be. Just leave room for the door to swing open fully. Hope that helps.

There is a lot of tolerance for varied stud spacing. I doubt that there will be any problem inserting the screws through the mount into the studs if you mark out the stud edge locations first. I too am very pleased with this wall mount.

This product is for outside wall mounting only and not meant for recessed areas. You may however drill new holes provided the recessed area will accept the new fixture.

You can, but you would be probably installing for a standard 24" pocket door and 30" pocket doors to recess them completely into wall.

I can't see any reason it can't be at least partially recessed. the door brackets sit just a few millimeters above the top and bottom of the cabinet.

Yes. However, if it on the drywall between studs you may break the drywall. Also there is an bar across the floor that would need to be stepped over. In summary, it would be possible, but rather inconvenient.

u can change the distance between them. my studs weren't perfectly spaced where i mounted it.

Yes. It can. You need to check with your handyman. My husband is a carpenter and installed it in about an hour in our wall that was about 6 inches thick. He added some plastic in the pass through areas.

I'm guessing that'd you like to sink it into a wall? Yes it could easily fit between studs, however the depth of the safe is thicker than your normal wall. Note it has 6 mount holes in the back and 4 on the floor.

we had contractor install it as recessed. if it were mounted to the wall we would have wanted mirrors on the sides. they were not included. however, it would have mounted to the wall. worst case: find the studs for at least one set of screws, and drill holes. it was a great choice for us. we have a small bathroom and needed the extra space for storage.

It can be either surface mounted or recessed into the wall. If you want it recessed, you might have to put some more work into installing it. We had to cut out some drywall and all since our old one was surface mounted!

I used drywall screws (instead of the screws that come with it), and it seems pretty secure in the drywall.The mounting holes are about 28" apart, so you will not be able to get both sides in a stud. It's not that heavy though, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Technically it was made to be wall hung, not recessed, but yes you can definitely recess it if you wish.

yes. In fact you can't install it where a stud is placed. You must avoid studs and afix behind the tile and hardibacker.

There is a lot of leeway in regards to where you want to insert the screws into the studs. I would not have any fear or hesitation. I am very pleased with this wall mount.

Yes. This particular model can either be recessed or just mounted to the wall.

Yes, but if possible, add blocking in-between studs and screw into the blocking.
