Can this safe be mounted to the side of the desk or does it have to be underneath? I guess the question is can it go both horizontal and vertical?

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 could be mounted to the side. The tray inside the safe is not on rails, so it would slide to the bottom, or you could take it out altogether. Note that the box is pretty heavy, so some solid wood is required.

In theory you can. Only issue is that their isnt a liner on the sides or the top of the inside of the safe to protect the firearm. The firearm will get scratched and the tray won't work very well. I guess you could alway leave the tray out and put some sort of soft liner on the sides to protect your gun.

It works best being in a horizontal position. It could be positioned vertical, but would not work very well. There also has to be a space between the device and the desk so one can open the front door.

I mounted mine horizontal but I see no reason why it wouldn't work in a vertical position. The only issue could be the tray inside that holds the gun. Not sure how freely it would slide in and out.

It will mount horizontal or vertical, makes no difference. The hard part is bolting the safe to its mounting bracket. You may need to have someone with small hands do this.

The gun will not come out smooth with the tray. I tried as well. It will work but the ease of it coming in and out will be cumbersome. I ended up mounting it horizontal.

Installing the safe to a wooden floor is pretty easy, however mounting to a side wall would require one to drill extra holes. The safe comes with pre-drilled holes on the bottom, so mounting it to the floor is not hard.

Sure it can be mounted horizontal. I've installed one in an R.V. It works just fine.

Yes you can mount this along any edge of the desk. If the desktop is then particleboard, I would sandwich a couple thin pieces of wood to spread out the weight distribution.

I mounted mine through a hole in the desk instead of using the clamp. It comes with hardware for both options. I'd consider it extremely stable with my 22" monitors and holds them exactly where I want them.

It does not mount to the wall, it is designed to level on its legs to lean against it. If you're concerned about it's sturdiness, I've had my desk for about a year now with daily use and I have absolutely no issues even on hardwood and vinyl (like Alex below had brought up). It's a great little desk.

While horizontal might be technically possible, the shelf would likely need additional stabalizing hardware add this is not it's intended or designed use. Also, it would depend on the weight. If you intend to put a desktop and monitor on it, this would likely exceed the designed capacity.

The two legs are of heavy construction and wrigh quite a bit. Plus angling the monitor on both sides inwards gives it stability....other it is more prone to fall backwards. There is also a vice clamp that can be used to secure it to desk. I am using a glass desk so I am unable to use clamp but have had no troubles.

Yes, it basically installs where you screw in the mounts so you can mount it as far back under the desk surface as you have room for it. Just place it in the position you want it and mark your holes and screw it in place. It slides forward far enough to allow it to still be used even when mounted slightly behind the outermost edge of the desk surface.

I bought 2 of them and I used one vertical and it is fine. Screw heads will be on top instead of side, but that's the only difference.

I wouldn't clamp directly to the desk since you want to clamp pretty tightly. Put something between the clamp and glass (cardboard, some rubber, etc) to help spread the clamping force. ONce you have it clamped it should be fine though, of course, it is now balanced to the edge where the mounting arm is. If you don't have the glass secured to the base then it could tilt. That's less of an issue with this particular arm and more an issue with any weight close to the edge. My desktop tilted back a bit before I remembered to rescrew it to the base. :)

I mounted mine horizontal rather than vertical like the picture. Has worked great. No issues.

Mine is mounted to the corner of a cubicle. The mount is 2 1/4" back from the front of my cubicle for the key board tray to slide under the top of my cubicle so it does not show when I am not using it. The only problem I have is I cannot cross my legs and sometimes have to move my chair forward and back to work in the area depending on whether or not I am using my keyboard or just writing on my desk. Hope this helps!

Mine is vertical but I think horizontal would work considering the clasps and a key lock. U might have to secure the bottom half inside the case to keep it in line and even in the case.

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. :)

I have it mounted horizontally, can't remember if it could be turned vertically.

The desk can go on either side at the time of assembly. If you put it on the opposite side the desk top will slide open to the outside, rather than the inside.
