Docking Station Installation Information

Due to public liability and general insurance reasons we cannot state exactly how to install a Hide Away Safe Docking Station into any surface.

But what we can do is list ways the Hide Away Safe Docking Station has been previously installed in various locations by us and purchasers throughout Australia and world-wide. This allows the purchaser to make the final decision about how their Hide Away Safe Docking Station is installed.

NB: As the Hide Away Safe Docking Station can be installed to many different surfaces the following covers most known surfaces.

Important Notice Disclaimer

It is the purchaser responsibility
to make the final decision how their
Hide Away Safe is installed.

mk2 Docking Station

Fastener types to install
a Docking Station.

Click to enlarge.

The Hide Away Safe Docking Station can be installed to almost any flat surface and at any angle, even upside down. The Docking Station has pre-drilled holes in it and we recommend what ever type of fastener you decide to use to install the Docking Station you place a fastener in the 10 pre-drilled holes to install it, 5 along each side of the Docking Station.

The picture to your left shows various fastener types that can be used depending on what the Docking Station is being installed to.

mk3 Docking Station

The mk3 Docking Station is made from two mk2 Docking Stations joined together in the centre. When installed correctly the mk3 Docking Station is kept rigid by what it is affixed to eg. Brick, Concrete or Wood Wall or Floor, Vehicle Fixing Kit Steel Bracket, Marine Ply, 6mm Ply / Craft Wood, 3mm Steel Plate and other surfaces not mentioned.

We suggest what ever fastener type you decide to use to install the mk3 Docking Station, you place a fastener in the 5 pre-drilled holes on both sides of each Single Docking Station that makes up the mk3 Docking Station.

NB: That suggests we recommend placing your chosen fastener type in 20 pre-drilled holes to install a mk3 Docking Station.

Fixing Holes In The Docking Station Not Big Enough

If the pre-drilled fixing holes in either the mk2 or mk3 Docking Station are not large enough for your selected fastener type eg. screws / bolts etc. it is ok to enlarge the holes by using a high speed steel drill, the same diameter as the fastener.

This ensures, if a thief did find your Hide Away Safe it would be practically impossible to prize it away from the surface it is installed to eg. Brick, Concrete, Wood Wall or Floor, to the floor in a Caravan or Motor Home and any other surface not mentioned.

Since 1993, when the Safes were first sold,

we are not aware of a single installed

Hide Away Safe ever being stolen.
