Review: Great product, but beware of installation work required - I just spent the entire day installing this safe and am not quite done with covering all tracks of the construction surgery due to all the suitable wall spaces in my old house having studs at considerably less than standard 16"o.c. distance. That little contretemps aside, this product is first rate. Sturdy, easy to use (and to install, if you live in a modern house), this heavy safe looks and feels sturdy and crowbar-proof, yet has a pleasing interior thanks to a velvety interior cladding. Punch in your personal 4-digit code and the door springs open on its own and illuminates the safe interior through a hidden LED light. The effect is almost magic and very inviting. There is also a 6-digit override code in case you forget the 4-digit code. Both are easy to reprogram from their factory settings. While the locking mechanism requires 4 AA batteries to work, there is a secondary exterior battery compartment that can be used in the unlikely case that the interior batteries run out. You would have to ignore the low-battery warnings or not use the safe for a long time for that to happen. Finally, there is a set of rather odd-looking keys to open the safe the old-fashioned way if all of the above were to fail. My biggest worry at this minute is where to store these keys so I would find and identify them if ever needed, but in a place a burglar would not bother to look... I am thinking my safe at the bank. Now to some practical installation hints, as the instructions are very sparse in this respect. First, you need to find a suitable placement from a comfort point of view. The door hinges are on the right and cannot be switched. The safe requires a rectangular opening in the wall, 18-1/8 by 14-1/8 inches. 14 1/8 inches is the surface-to-surface distance between studs in standard construction, and you *will* need side studs to bolt the safe into. Next, you need to identify where the studs are in your preferred spot. A studfinder works best, but knocking the wall with your knuckles can also work if you have an ear for hollow vs. solid sounds. Once you ascertain the proper space, explore the supposedly hollow space between the two studs for any firebreaks (horizontal spacer studs), again with a studfinder or your knuckles and your ear. If you find one, you will likely want to place the safe immediately above it. Once you have a rough idea of the safe's location, make a small pilot hole with a drill, then stick a wire (or disassembled coathanger) into it to plumb the depth. The safe requires 3 3/4 " unobstructed depth, measured from the wall surface facing the room. Assuming all is good so far, draw the outline of the required opening with light pencil on the wall. Next, drill pilot holes at 1 to 2 inches apart along the outline. You want to insure that there are no hidden obstacles anywhere. Small drill holes are a lot easier to patch up then a large hole. The pilot holes will also help you identify the exact location of stud edges and firebreak edge, if any. As you draw the final, verified outline of the opening, make sure that the angles are square! Ideally you have a helper hold the (heavy) safe against the wall you you run a pencil around its outline. A heavy, strong person might be able to do so without help in a pinch. Finally you are ready to cut. For regular sheetrock (gypsum board) used starting in the 1950s, a handsaw is best. Ideally you hold the business end of a household vacuum hose (without attachment) immediately below the saw blade as it works through the sheetrock, as this dust will otherwise have a way of coating every square inch of surface within sight. If, however, you have lath and plaster as I did in my old house, you will need an electric reciprocating saw ("sawz-all") with a short, "bimetal" blade to cut cleanly through the hard gypsum and the wood slats. Err on the side to make the hole about 1/8" wider and taller than the outline of the safe. One more hint: Make a 3 x 3 hole in the center first, then peer around inside for any pipes or wires you may have missed. Flexible romex wire may likely and safely fit behind the safe, but pipes my force you to retreat and find an alternate location. Once you are done with the cutting, if you are lucky, the safe will pop in cleanly into your opening. If you are like me and made the opening too tight, you'll have to cut a little more. With the open safe fitting snug against the wall, mark the 3 drill holes on the left side against the left stud, and repeat the same with the 3 holes against the right stud. Drill holes smaller than the supplied bolts -- you can always re-drill with a larger bit if needed. Don't forget to add the supplied washers as you insert the bolts into the holes you drilled. You will need a socket wrench (I used 17 mm -- 5/8 or 11/16 *might* work, also) with a ratchet arm to do these bolts justice. Remove the velvet shelves while you do this. Once you are done and the safe is installed, vacuum it out and paint any damaged wall surface surrounding it though, if you were very careful, that may not be necessary. Enjoy!
Review: Heavy duty, Quality, Can disable the Beeping. - Received the PWS1814E safe on 3/21/15. Extremely well packaged from the manufacturer. Heavy and solid, thick steel. Easy to setup new codes. Installed it one week later (yesterday). I located an ideal place between the studs in the wall. Cut a 14-1/2"x18/3/8" opening in the drywall. Fit in snug. Six good, heavy duty, large bolts and washers included. There is a little bit of a curve on the safe where the lip and the edge of the safe meet. In hindsight, I would have beveled the edges of the open I cut in the wall so the lip of the safe fit flat against the wall. Anyway, works like a champ. Something I didn't know: has a small metal arm inside that pushes the door open slightly when code is entered to open. Also a small light on the door, pointing to the inside of the safe, comes on so you will be able to see the contents in low light. Very easy to install. The only downside to this safe that I found, though very minor, is the "Beeping" when the keys are pressed. This can be easily disabled, though manually, with a soldering iron. The computer board that operates the electronic keypad is under a metal enclosure on the inside of the door. There are 2 screws holding it in place. Simply take the batteries out, remove the 3 screws holding the board to the inside of the door. Locate the speaker on the lower left corner of the board (small, black cylinder). Being careful to touch only the edges of the board, heat the 2 prongs connecting the speaker to the board. This can be a bit tricky, so if you have someone to help, have them pull with speaker with tweezers. You'll have to work a little bit at a time going back and fourth from one prong to the other (the solder cools very fast). Once removed, put everything back in place. No no more "Beeping". One last thing. Very minor. I would have liked to have the option to adjust the selves inside. I'll update as time goes on if I feel there is anything additional that needs to be added.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rock solid and easy to install
*by M***Y on April 7, 2014*

I just received this safe and installed it this past weekend. I tried a cheaper safe and was not at all happy with it and returned it. This one is well worth the money. The all parts seem sturdy and well made. The LED light is a nice touch. The keypad with individual buttons rather than a membrane is really nice. And installation was very easy if you have some basic skills. (I didn't have any complications with odd stud spacing, etc.) Some other posters have talking about building in ledges to level it and beef it up, but that doesn't seem necessary to me. (And if you make a level cut in the drywall and/or your studs are plumb, that's a non-issue.) Programming and reprogramming the codes are a snap, and the ability to blank the display so your code isn't visible is a nice touch. And I really love the fact that there are multiple fail-safes to getting locked out - Multiple codes, external power pack, and when all else fails, physical keys. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is that the instructions are written poorly. They weren't quite clear on the operation and I had to make some notes in the margins to adjust. Plus, if you make a 14 x 18 cut as it says, you'll be sorry and shaving drywall to get it to fit. (To be fair the instructions say to measure the safe prior to cutting, but then why be so precise on the size of the rough opening?) It has a good volume and holds quite a few items we want to secure. All in all, this was a great purchase for us.
