Elder WelderElectrical Outlet Hidden Wall Safe | 100% Real Wall Plate Included | Easy to Install | Hidden Safe for Money | Wall Safes Between Studs | Secret Storage | Invisible Safe

UPDATED REVIEW: Although my initial 2 orders arrived broken, Elder Welder's founder personally reached out to me to ensure that the problem was known, only affected a small number of products, and offered his apologies. They proactively shipped me out a new product which was received the next day (and was perfect). I truly appreciate the customer support, and EVERYONE should know that they stand behind their products not just with words, but with actions. Thanks Szymon and the Elder Welder team for such an amazing turnaround!

- Both the product online and in the installation instructions make note of it being, "compatible with 1/2" drywall" or, "best fit" for 1/2" drywall, but never makes any mention to other thicknesses of drywall or stud cavity depth. I would recommend clarifying that it does work with additional sizes as it feels almost like it is only meant for 1/2". This does fit thicker drywall.- I'm not totally comfortable with the mounting design. First, the side wings on the gang box are very shallow and will require the installer to get the size of the hole cut in the wall almost perfectly which is very difficult even for an experienced person. Secondly, mounting screws into the raw end of drywall feels pretty sketchy especially with the small fine thread screws included. There is not much integrity in the raw end of drywall. Considering the narrow cavity of the safe itself, if you put anything into the depth of it, there is going to be some decent force put on the safe when you try to get your hand in there to pull anything out. This will weaken the connection further pretty quickly. I would prefer to see a connection similar to what is used on gang boxes for existing construction that pinches the drywall instead of trying to screw into it. This will be a lot sturdier.- I do like that you can change out the cover plate to be able to match the design of the other outlets in your home so that it is sure to blend in. I would like to see this as an option when selecting your cover plate design. It does not have to be a ton of different options, but at least have the standard style outlet design in addition to the current Decora option.- Recommends to plug something into the outlet to help disguise it even more. The backplate on the cover plate has clips on the grounding rod to help hold a plug in place, BUT..... Most household items I would be plugging into this just to disguise do not have a grounding rod. Trying to plug a 2-prong outlet into this setup and the plug just wants to fall out because there is nothing holding it in. I would like to see something to hold the outlet prongs in place either in addition to or instead of the grounding rod.

Shipping was quick! Positively, what I was expecting versus what was received are two entirely different things. I was anticipated an outlet box with magnets to hold on a faceplate that you screw into your wall. What I received was a high quality metal box with a lock and key inside under the faceplate. I found it very impressive that the seams are all welded and once installed it actually creates a a very secure enclosure that you can put in your wall and hide something important. Even if someone was to somehow figure out that if they took off the outlet face they might be able to get into the box, but they couldn’t without one of the keys.I’m not handy. Installation was easier than I thought it would be. Inside the box a direction sheet as well as a URL that leads to an installation video that literally walks someone through each and every step. I’m a visual learner, seeing it being installed was so helpful!Apparently a steak knife can cut through drywall. Enclosed hardware/ screws were the right length and everything just fit together as planned. I could tell someone put a lot of thought into the creation of this.Only downside to this is the outlet face didn’t match my outlet faceplates throughout my house. This was not a very big deal at all. The simple remedy was to go to my local home improvement store and purchase one identical to what is in the house. No big deal at all. It was not hard at all how to swap out the faceplate I purchased at the store with what was included in the kit.I love this product and would purchase another if the time arises!

Solid built, but you need to see what outlet shape your current house has before buying. I bought this square outlet version but my existing plugs are all round so it was a fail on my end.It is a little hard to get items out of the bottom compartment, but it’s a good product, I would buy again.

The media could not be loaded. So I've been looking for a smart way to protect my valuables. I have a small safe, but what is the first thing a criminal is going to grab when they see a small safe. Someone pointed me to this slick wall safe that is small, compact, and is made to look like a power outlet.With this unique design I think it will make it much harder for anyone really to know there is a hidden lock box in my house. While the smaller box doesn't offer a lot of space It does offer enough room for smaller valuables, important keys, small documents and even money if you need a place to hide some around the house.The installation was easy. i didn't even need instructions. It came with a great cut out that let me outline it and showed me how to install it for the less capable. It took about 10 minutes to install and I've included a video from start to finish of installing the product.Big thanks to Elder for such an affordable, easy-to-use, lockbox. I am most likely going to order one for each of my roommates.Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions.Tools: Screwdriver, stud finder (if you don't know how to find one on your own), sharp knife or other drywall cutting utensil. Pencil. Should be all you need. Maybe a hammer just to get the knife to cut through the drywall quicker. I highly recommend outlining the stencil they provide so you know where to cut.

Lost the key, had to cut it open to retrieve my Mula, found the key after 😕
