ark Tamo Pro installation videoUpdated 3 months ago

Tamo Pro comes with both Standard Screws and XL Security Screws & Wall Plugs.

Standard Screws allow install on brick, stone and concrete and single skin walls.

XL Security Screws & Wall Plugs allow installation on brick, stone, concrete, and rendered walls. We recommend using the XL Security Screws & Wall Plugs wherever possible, as they provide a stronger fixing.

* Single skin walls- the walls are made up of only one layer of brick. These will typically be garden or garage walls. 

* *Rendered walls- the walls are covered by sand and cement, a lime based, or a synthetic resin based coloured render. For rendered surfaces the security approval covers render up to 20mm thick when over
brick, concrete or stone.

If you are installing your Tamo Pro onto brick, stone, concrete or single skin walls with Standard Security Screws screws you will need:

• Power drill
• Pencil/pen
• Measuring equipment
• T30 Torx head screwdriver
• 5mm masonry drill bit

NB. The Torx T30 screwdriver and 5mm masonry drill bit are also available to purchase as one item - Fitting pack for Supra C500 Pro & ark Tamo key safes

If you are installing your Tamo Pro onto a rendered wall, or want stronger fixings using XL Security Screws and Wall Plugs, you will need:

• Power drill
• Pencil/pen
• Measuring equipment
• T30 Torx head screwdriver
• Two drill bits: 4mm and 8mm

The Torx T30 screwdriver and the 4mm & 8mm drill bits are also available to purchase as one item - Fitting pack for XL Security Screws & Wall plugs

Please note we do not recommend installing your key safe onto pebble dash substrate.

If you are moving your key safe to a new location, you will need to use new fixings. The fixings supplied are self-tapping masonry screws that cut their way into the brickwork. Once they’ve been used, the cutting edge becomes dulled, meaning that re-using the screws will result in a less secure installation.

Please ensure you drill new holes for every installation. Using existing holes can weaken the quality of the installation and may result in a less secure fit. 

If you are reinstalling in a previously used area and are concerned about the old holes being visible, you can adjust the position of the key safe slightly so that the new holes are offset from the originals, while the key safe itself covers the old holes.

Additional fitting screws can be purchased from us. Please note there is a small postage fee on orders under £30 in value.
