Installation Guide

Console Safe Installation Guide

Installation methods vary by safe and vehicle. Use this guide to prepare, check your exact fitment, and review the product-specific instructions before beginning.

Before You Install

1. Confirm your vehicle year, make, model, and trim match the product page.

2. Confirm your console layout matches the product photos.

3. Check the package contents: safe body, lock assembly, mounting hardware, backup keys, and installation sheet if included.

4. Prepare basic tools, usually a socket wrench, screwdriver, flashlight, and protective gloves.

5. Empty the console or under-seat area before test fitting.

6. Check for wiring, USB ports, vents, or factory accessories near the mounting area.

7. Keep backup keys outside the safe during installation and initial lock testing.

8. If the safe does not sit flat or the holes do not line up, stop and confirm fitment before tightening bolts.

Stop installation and do not force the safe into place. Confirm your vehicle year, trim, console style, and product handle. Contact support with photos of your console and product label.
