How to build a MortiSafe
You can build your own MortiSafe from parts.
Before you start
You will need to buy these parts.
You'll need the following tools:
-
A flat bladed screwdriver, with a head less than 3.5mm
(about 1/8 inch) across
-
A screwdriver suitable for unscrewing the panel
on the back of the safe's door (mine uses a cross-head
screwdriver)
-
Something to cut wire (eg scissors)
-
Something to clean the insulation off the end
of a wire

Uninstalling the MortiSafe
If you should want to, you can very easily turn the MortiSafe back
into a normal digital safe just by unscrewing some wires:
-
Open the safe, and unscrew the panel on the back of the door
-
Identify the screw terminal block which has two wires
going to the MortiReceiver and two going to the safe
-
Unscrew the wires going to the MortiReceiver
-
Unscrew one of the wires going to the safe
-
Screw that wire back in so that both of the wires
going to the safe are connected together
The safe is now restored to normal.
