Can the safe be mounted on a wall or on a shelf?

Good Afternoon. It is shelf mountable with the hardware provided. I do not see any wall mountable uses for this safe.

you will not be doing so. You could bolt it to a sturdy shelf or bookcase but you will not bolt this to a floor. Additionally a determined thief will destroy the shelf to hell and back to get it, but it will take time for them to get it open. If you want a safe that will bolt to the floor then you will have to increase the amount of money you're willing to spend. This is a great brand, but this safe is meant more for personal use in a safe home to keep people out that are not skilled thieves or gangsters.

The safe I received had holes in the back for wall mounting, but I also bought mine years ago so it might have changed.

Neither. Again, as I reviewed earlier...this is not a safe you want to store anything valuable. It is easily defeated by thieves and there are numerous youtube videos demonstrating how

yes,it can be mounted on wall. Our contractor suggested to attach this item to a stud and our mounting is not quite in the center of the unit but it is not visible so it is not an issue. I will recommend to attach the unit as our 3 years 1/2 son was climbing the shelves to go on top of the unit.

There are two designated spots for you to drill through that is located on the very bottom shelf inside the safe. You drill through those two spots and use the included mounting hardware and this safe isn't going anywhere. There are no designated spots to drill through the back/side so it is not wall mountable. I would understand why because most homes have drywall so the drywall could be demoed around the safe and then the safe can be taken. Ripping up the floor (carpet, wood, sub flooring, concrete, etc.) will take a lot more effort when this safe is properly mounted to the floor from within the safe.

YES easily, just make sure you hit studs, depending on you spacing of studs in your wall, you Might have to re drill the shelf bracket, If the wall studs are too far apart yo will need a board the width of the stud spacing mounted first..the mount the shelf to that securely.

There are two holes in the back of the safe. First find a wall stud and mark the wall with its location. Then measure the distance between the holes in the back of the safe. Mark the location of the second hole on the wall. I used a toggle bolt for the hole that did not line up with the wall stud. Its a bit tricky to get the toggle bolt installed but worth the time since it will hold the safe firmly to the wall. Use a long screw into the wall stud. Hope it helps

This safe can be mounted to the floor or the wall. There are for large screws that are provided with the safe and the 4 appropriate holes are available to mount it.

There doesn't seem to be any way to mount on a wall. It could probably be placed on a wall shelf since it is not heavy.

No. The shelf only gets in the way. The safe I had prior to the Barska had a shelf that could only be placed directly in the middle...useless, so I threw the shelf away.

There is one small shelf at the top of the safe. In my case, this is a good thing. I have several long guns in the safe. I was able to hang (with bent paperclips, amazingly) my pistol holsters on the inside of the door, since the door's inner panel is carpet-covered fiberboard of some kind. It's a very nice, compact safe.

The Safe is much heavier than you think. I mounted my safe on the side of my bed so while lying in bed if I hang my arm over the side I can open it without even looking and have my Berreta 9mm compact in hand. I mounted a thin piece of angle that holds the weight and then bolted the safe to the side of the bed.

As I have not mounted mine, I am not sure. However, if I might speculate, I would imagine it can be done. Possibly maybe substituting the screws that the safe came with for mounting and replacing them with concrete screws of the same measurement. Then again would that comprise the efficiency of the safe?... I don't know. Although I'm no specialist, I would say yes to answer your question.

The mounting bracket could be mounted either horizontally or vertically. The safe when mounted horizontally however, upon being opened, has a drawer that slides forward to retrieve the contents. As the drawer pulls forward it slants down and "catches a stop on the back of the drawer so the drawer doesn't continue to fall out of the safe onto the ground. If mounted vertically, I could picture the drawer releasing all the way to the ground because it does not slant forward and catch the retaining stop. If a vertical mount is desired, it could be accommodated without the drawer but that might make the contents harder to retrieve.

It can, but it's more secure to mount it to at least one stud and the floor. Mounting it to the wall itself makes it easy to rip out since the safe weighs less than 80 pounds.
