Hide It Right — 8–12″ of Cover
Most users bury the vault with 8-12 inches of soil covering the safe — hidden yet easy to access.
Simple Quick-Access Installation Tip
For frequent, quick, discreet removal, install a 24-inch long PVC pipe with a threaded cap first: then set the pipe in the hole with 8" depth from the surface, backfill dirt around it so it sits plumb, then place the hidden safe inside the pipe and screw the cap on. When you need it, simply remove enough dirt to uncover and unscrew the cap, then pull the safe out easily.
Step 1: Pack Your Items the Right Way
• Keep everything completely dry before sealing.
• Place documents or cash in ARCHIVAL-QUALITY or QUALITY zip-seal bags especially, cash or paper documents.
• Add silica-gel moisture-absorbing packs inside the bag and safe.
• For gold and silver, if you choose, use separate small pouches or anti-tarnish bags.
• Electronics (like thumb drives) should be packed in anti-static bags with desiccant added to bag.
Step 2: Redundancy Is The Key
• For extra protection, place all contents in a small waterproof container inside the safe. Use can you separate smaller, separate QUALITY food containers — double protection is key.
Step 3: Bury in the Right Spot
• Pick a stable location way from flooding or pooling water.
• Bury with about 18-12 inches of cover for easy access, or deeper for extra security.
• For quick removal, insert a 24-inch PVC pipe with a threaded cap into the ground first, backfill with dirt around it, then place the safe inside and cap it.
Just remove a little soil to uncover the cap later — simple and discreet.
Step 5: Mark and Maintain
• Record the location privately (GPS or a small map).
• Leave it undisturbed until needed; the FoxLok Hidden Safe is designed for long-term underground security.
Tip: In humid or coastal climates, use extra desiccants and sealants. In cold regions, bury below the frost line for best results.
