MedVault® Hardware Installation Instructions
OPE-MVHDWR-0202-H The Knox Company ▪ MedVault®▪ 2
Please thoroughly read all
instructions before
mounting the MedVault®
unit.
Installing the MedVault® Unit
Although the MedVault® unit is manufactured to provide
secure storage of medical narcotics, follow these installation
instructions for maximum security.
Determine the mounting location. Be certain there is
adequate space to open and close the MedVault® door.
Allow a minimum of 1 inch to the left of the door for room to remove the door from the
MedVault. (see page 6)
Installing the Hardware
Because we do not know how or where our customers will be installing the MedVault® unit, it is
not pre-drilled and does not include mounting hardware.
BOTTOM
Warning
Only drill mounting holes in the reinforced areas along the edges (as
indicated above).
Placing mounting holes in any other location may warp the unit and
cause failures.

MedVault® Hardware Installation Instructions
OPE-MVHDWR-0202-H The Knox Company ▪ MedVault®▪ 3
Assemble the following hardware and equipment:
 Four (4) quarter-inch (1/4”) bolts and washers
 Drill and bit
 Center punch
We recommend the following mounting guidelines:
1. Insert bolts from the inside of the unit.
2. Place mounting holes on the edge of the unit bottom where the unit construction is
reinforced.
3. Place the mounting holes at least three-quarters of an inch (3/4”) from the edge of the
unit.
4. Use a center punch to start the mounting holes.
5. Ensure that the cable is not pinched or pulled during mounting, and it will not be
damaged during operation.
6. Make sure the mounting holes do not interfere with the opening damper or any other
component inside the box.
7. Do not mount anything to the MedVault® door.
8. Do not use a hammer to fit the unit in place. Doing so may warp the unit.
9. Do not over-tighten the mounting bolts—it will distort the flange and may warp the unit.
10. Clean up shavings after drilling the mounting holes.
11. Do not mount the unit face-down from a ceiling or overhang area.
12. The door hinge of the mounted unit must be on the bottom.
13. When the door is open, it should not rest on any surface.
14. If you install the unit on a thin or hollow wall/surface, use a solid backing for
reinforcement.
15. We recommend mounting the unit to solid studs or steel supports.
Mounting Options
Surface-mounted models are designed for mounting on a flat surface.
Recess-mounted models are designed for flush mounting. You can adapt the unit to fit a variety
of wall or compartment types.
