The biometric reader stores up to 20 fingerprints, so everyone who needs access can be enrolled, and a key override is included for times the reader cannot be used. It is meant for quick access to the things you reach for often: a handgun for home defense, cash, jewelry, passports and spare keys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe safe installs in the wall between studs. Dealer listings give an in-wall base of 21\" x 13 7\/8\" x 3 3\/4\" behind a front flange of about 22\" x 15\" (one dealer lists the front as 22\" x 16\"), with an overall depth of 4\". The interior measures 19\" high, 14\" wide and 3 1\/8\" deep, about 0.48 cubic feet, with two interior shelves. The body is heavy-gauge steel and the door is held by two round locking bolts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstalling it follows the usual in-wall steps. Locate the studs, confirm the bay is clear of wiring, pipes and ductwork, mark the opening to the base size, cut the drywall, test-fit the safe and fasten the body to the framing on both sides. Enroll fingerprints before you hang anything over it, and test the override key once so you know it works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMount it at eye or arm level where it is easy to reach, then cover it with a picture, a mirror or clothing in a closet. A wall safe relies on concealment and on a solid connection to the framing. It has no fire rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-features\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFingerprint access:\u003c\/strong\u003e Biometric reader stores up to 20 fingerprints.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKey override:\u003c\/strong\u003e Backup entry if the reader cannot be used.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIn-wall design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Base fits between standard wall studs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUsable interior:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19\" x 14\" x 3 1\/8\", about 0.48 cubic feet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo shelves:\u003c\/strong\u003e Separate small items from documents.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy-gauge steel body;
