Gardall IW1317-T-E Economical Wall Safe

USA-built concealed wall safe: hidden storage between standard studs

For homeowners who want valuables out of sight, the Gardall IW1317-T-E Economical Wall Safe recesses between standard 16-inch-spaced studs and hides behind a picture or mirror. Built in the USA, it pairs a 1/4-inch laser-cut door with an electronic keypad, mechanical override key, and two active boltwork bolts for everyday concealed protection at an entry price.

Sized for a 6-inch wall, the safe measures 13.88 inches high by 16.13 inches wide by 5.5 inches deep on the outside and 12 by 14 by 3.5 inches inside, yielding 588 cubic inches (0.34 cubic feet) of usable space. At just 22 pounds, it mounts easily into a precut opening using the included wall stud anchor kit.

Engineering & Security

• ✓1/4-inch laser-cut door: The solid steel door is precision laser-cut for a tight fit, the main security barrier on this economical wall safe.
• ✓Two active boltwork bolts: Live bolts extend into the frame when locked, securing the door against casual prying and pull attempts.
• ✓Electronic keypad entry: A flush digital keypad gives quick coded access, while a mechanical override key ensures entry if batteries fail.
• ✓Auxiliary power compatible: External power support keeps the keypad working during a dead-battery situation without forcing an immediate override.
• ✓Not fire-rated by design: This economical model carries no UL fire label; choose Gardall's insulated WMS line if fire protection is required.

Concealment & Installation

• ✓Fits between 16-inch studs: Designed to recess into a standard 6-inch wall cavity so the safe sits flush and stays hidden.
• ✓1-inch mounting flange: A flange on all four sides covers the precut opening edges for a clean, secure finished installation.
• ✓Concealable behind decor: Once recessed, a picture or mirror hangs over the door to keep the safe out of plain sight.
• ✓LED interior light: A built-in light illuminates the compartment, useful where wall safes sit in dim or shadowed locations.
• ✓Removable shelf and anchor kit: An adjustable shelf organizes contents, and the included wall stud anchor kit speeds secure mounting.

Ideal Buyer & Use Cases

The Gardall IW1317-T-E suits homeowners and renters who want a discreet, USA-built spot for documents, jewelry, cash, and small valuables hidden inside a standard 6-inch wall. At 13.88 by 16.13 by 5.5 inches outside and 22 pounds, it installs into a precut opening behind everyday decor without the cost of an insulated safe.

Need a shallower 4-inch-wall version, step down to the Gardall IW1314-T-E. For heavier-duty or insulated fire-resistant wall protection, look to the Gardall SL4000F and SL6000F, or the flanged WMS911-G-E and WMS129-G-E fireproof wall safes.
