For instructions on how to install your Supra P500 Pro key safe please follow the easy step by step guide below.
Please note - the fixings are inside your new key safe.
When installing your P500 Pro key safe you will need the following:
- Power drill
- Pencil/pen
- Measuring equipment
To install your P500 Pro key safe onto brick or concrete you will need the below -
- 5mm drill bit (70mm+ in length)
- T30 Torx drive
- T15 security Torx bit for use with interchangeable screwdrivers
If you do not have these tools, they are available to purchase via our website - Fitting pack for Supra P500 key safe
We advise our customers not to install our Supra P500 Pro police preferred key safes onto rendered walls as they are tested on brick and concrete only. If you have a rendered wall, we recommend our ark Tamo™ Maximum Security Key Safe.
Please note we do not recommend installing your key safe onto pebble dash substrate.
Installing the Supra P500 Pro key safe
1. Use the mounting template to position the holes so they are as close to the centre of the brick as possible. Do not install screws into mortar since this will weaken the mounting.
2. Use the mounting template to drill 4 mounting holes using a 3/16” or 5mm masonry drill bit to a depth of at least ¼” or 7mm deeper than the length of the screw. Clean out dust and debris from all holes.
3. Position the key safe on the 4 holes and drive the screws directly into the brick. Note: You must use the size 6x60mm standard security screws included to maintain LPS 1175 security certification.
Note: a rendered or wood substrate is not covered within the approval to LPS 1175.
Note: Do not mount key safe closer than 6” or 15cm to the corner of a masonry surface. Make sure key safe is mounted flush with masonry surface and the standard security screws are only installed directly into brick or concrete. Never install masonry screws into mortar. Minimize all gaps between back of key safe and masonry surface.
4. Tighten the screws until the heads are snug against the back of the key safe. Be careful not to over tighten the screws.
DO NOT USE A DRILL.
You may find it useful to watch our C500 installation video as the process for the P500 installation is very similar.
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.
