Secure In-Wall Pistol Cabinet by Stack-On: Protect Your Valuables with IWC-11

Howard: I installed one of these today and am very pleased with it. You cut a square hole in the wall and push it in. Two screws go into the studs from the inside. I stripped out one of the screws immediately, I would recommend you use better quality screws from the hardware store, perhaps even hex-head screws instead of Phillips.

It comes with a small shelf. If you are putting full-sized handguns in it then you won't be able to use the shelf. Pocket revolvers can fit on the shelf and below but...

I noticed the shelf rubs on the locking mechanism, making it slightly harder to open/close. For this reason I discarded the shelf completely. The box is light gray, if you leave off the company emblem and slap a warning label on it, it looks very much like a 'electrical' box.

This metal box won't stop Super Thief, but will certainly keep out small children, randomly drunk relatives and teenaged burglars who might accept it as a power box at a glance without stopping to wonder why there is an electrical box there.

If the small shelf had not rubbed on the locking mechanism, I would have rated it 5-star across the board.

Milford CT Guy: Great value for the money and easy to install between two studs. Ideal for regular items such as passports, small amounts of cash etc. Once installed it is flush to the wall so you can hang a picture over it.

Allan Lawson: Although this product is not fireproof as some more expensive units are it’s a solidly built and for the price paid it is great value. I would recommend this in wall safe.

Cindi, Cin, Luci: locate the wall studs where you wish to install. when located , I suggest using a Hercules hook to poke in the drywall to locate the precise edge of the stud. Place the unit the height you wish to place it, trace the outline of the unit to the wall, the n cut using a cheap drywall saw. great product.

GP: Just right to store small valuables. Well built and easy to install. Will definitely stop a snatch and grab robber. The removable shelf is a nice touch. Installed in my sons house in 45 mins. Not intrusive easy to conceal.

Tracy Acey 1: Perfect and what we wanted for Ammo storage...bought the large one too for the guns:) Canada needs separate storage for both so this was perfect and great price! Fast shipping thanks Amazon!

KP: This little safe is definitely NOT meant to secure the family fortune, or keep anything safe and secure, indefinitely. What it IS though, is a good little safe to keep some important stuff out of sight-out of mind from our little ones. If someone wanted to get into this box, and had a little time to do it, they would definitely be able to get in. I would imagine that I could cut open the piano hinge on the outside with my cordless grinder in 30 minutes or less. Oh, and it wouldn't be a "quiet" job to break into it either. Again, it is not a miniature Ft. Knox, but it does it's intended job well. Install was a breeze, and one thin I also liked was that while the sales picture makes it look like it only opens one way, you can actually flip over and have the door swing open the other way as well. I threw out the included shelf, as it is worthless for my needs and would only serve to get in the way of item retrieval. The "Stack-On" emblem that came with, can be snapped into position either way. Overall, I give it 5 stars, as it is excellent for what it is. If I were comparing it to another safe/lockbox of higher quality, with a fire rating, etc, then sure, I'd probably ding the rating...

Rad: The cabinet met my expectations. It is well built and was easy to install. If you find the door loosely closed when in locked position, remove the nut that holds the steel cam, rotate the steel cam 180 degrees and re-tighten the nut. This solves the problem since one wing of the cam has a ridge that keeps the door tightly shut. Should you be using your cabinet for safe keeping the gun, the provided shelf is practically useless. Instead, you can perhaps use a ‘soft’ zip locked pouch to place your valuables.

RE Investor: This isn't a safe, but a lock box. I have this set up in a wall with a painting on a hinge over it. A thief wouldn't be able to find it. Even if they did, it is solid metal. But like I said, it isn't a safe, so if they brought some basic power tools, they could get in quickly (with a lot of noise). Still sturdy, and safe. The point of this is to mount it in the wall, and you can then conceal it.

My issue is that the keys are relatively big (like a car key). I already have enough stuff on my key chain. I wish I had bought one with a combination instead.

Overall, worth it.
