Gardall IW1314-T-E Economical Wall Safe

USA-built concealed wall safe with flush electronic keypad

The Gardall IW1314-T-E Economical Wall Safe is built for homeowners who want hidden, recessed storage behind a picture or mirror without paying for fire protection they do not need. Made in the USA, it fits between standard 16-inch-spaced studs in a 4-inch-deep wall, secures with a flush electronic keypad and mechanical override key, and drives two active bolts in its boltwork.

This is a compact unit sized for tight wall cavities rather than bulk storage. External dimensions are 13.88 inches high by 16.13 inches wide by 4 inches deep, and the safe weighs just 19 pounds. The interior measures 12 by 14 by 2 inches, giving 336 cubic inches (0.19 cubic feet) for documents, jewelry, and small valuables on a removable shelf.

Engineering & Security

• ✓1/4-inch laser-cut door: The laser-cut steel door resists prying at the seam, the most common attack point on a recessed wall safe.
• ✓Two active boltwork bolts: Twin live bolts extend into the door frame to hold the door closed against forced entry.
• ✓Flush electronic keypad: A digital keypad sits flush for concealment behind artwork while allowing fast, code-based daily access.
• ✓Mechanical override key: An included backup key opens the safe if the batteries die or the keypad fails, so you are never locked out.
• ✓Not fire-rated by design: This economical model carries no fire rating; choose a Gardall fire wall safe if heat protection for documents matters.

Concealment & Installation

• ✓Recessed wall mounting: Designed to drop into a precut hole between studs and hide behind a picture or mirror for true concealment.
• ✓1-inch perimeter flange: A 1-inch flange on all sides covers the cut edges and anchors the body for a clean, secure install.
• ✓Standard 4-inch wall fit: Sized for 2-by-4 framing on 16-inch centers, it seats into common interior walls without modification.
• ✓Removable interior shelf: An adjustable shelf and LED interior light organize and illuminate small valuables in the 336-cubic-inch cavity.

Ideal Buyer & Use Cases

The IW1314-T-E suits a homeowner or renter who wants discreet, behind-the-picture storage for jewelry, cash, and documents and does not require fire protection. At 13.88 by 16.13 by 4 inches and 19 pounds, it installs into a standard 4-inch wall with its 1-inch flange and concealed electronic keypad.

If you want a slightly taller cavity, the IW1317-T-E offers more height in the same economical line. For heavier-gauge construction or a fire-rated wall option, step up to the SL4000F heavy-duty wall safe or the flanged WMS911-G-E fireproof wall safe.
