Can you mount it horizontally (e.g., above the inside of a closet door)?

Yes, but you are not going to have as secure of a mount on the stud. The mounting holes are oriented vertically but there are 2 rows. In the vertical position you get 3 large holes for the large screws, in the horizontal position you would only have 2 holes unless you modified it.

Yes, because the vault itself can support the gun. I would try to angle the vault so that the gun is balanced around the part of the gun that is in contact with the vault, and not heavier on one end than the other. This means that the gun anad the lock controls will probably not be horizontal, resulting in the vault being above the door header. Are you tall enough to readily access it?

I did not but you can. It would be more unwieldy though because the hinge would make it tougher to retreive the w weapon

Yes. That is actually how I mounted mine. Mine is hanging by the breach block (one of two ways, the other is the trigger blocks.) I wanted it to hang pointing away from everyone as well, so mine is not only horizontal, but the the shotgun is upside down. I am able to reach up comfortably in the dark, punch the code, turn the knob, flip the door up, and pull the gun off the block. I do not know if the trigger guard application would hold the gun in place once the door is up, so I'll only speak to the breach block install. Very solid, very happy with the way I mounted it....Hope that helps.

Yes, you can mount the base vertically. I mounted mine on the side of my house and it worked great !

No, it's structure wouldn't allow that. I think you'd have to build an angled box that provided a level place on the ceiling to mount it.

I would only screw into the under side of a truss or beam. Not possible to screw in horizontal.

Yes, they can, then you just adjust you brackets to fit. I had to do that in one of my closets!

Yes. I can't see any problem with hanging this vertically. There are two screws on the right side of the mount, I would make sure they connect with a wall stud or, if that's not possible , use anchors for all three.

It probably could be mounted horizontally if you had to, but I don't think it would be advisable. THere is a large metal disk on the underside that supports the roll. This would look weird when the roll is less than half full. There are other better models to mount horizontally.

We use ours inside. We screwed the mounting mechanism to a board and placed it upright next to a window (works great). I am not sure about the hanging it idea; it seems to me that it would be sideways if you mounted it directly to a wall but perhaps that would be a slicker way to do it. You need to find a good reception site no matter how you do it. I hope this helps.

You'll need to buy the rail kit. It's too heavy to mount horizontally with the supplied tabs.

Yes. It can be mounted anywhere assuming you have the given amount of space necessary. The installation screws aren't very long, so I doubt they'd go through the door.

Yes! I have three of them and they could essentially be mounted at any angle you wanted: horizontal, vertical, off-center, etc.

The packaging recommends that you do NOT mount horizontally, though mine is at a diagonal and I haven't had any problems whatsoever. Hope this helps.

The holes are pre-drilled. It has been several months since we used it so I'm not sure if it can be used horizontally but I'm sure the would be way
1301625
Yes, you can. It is advertised as being able to be used either way, and also says so in the manual. I have two that are mounted vertically and have no issues with them. :)

Flip it upside down. Can even be installed horizontally, such as on the top of a sliding glass door
1898672
Yes, you can mount it anywhere within the door frame. If you're putting it in a door everyone uses you may want to check that everyone fits under it before you install.

You can, but it doesn't seem very stable. I think it is designed for the horizontal position.
