    Abstract: A concealed wall safe coupled to studs within an interior wall and having an enhanced locking mechanism to prevent unauthorized access to stored accessories. The safe includes a housing member coupled to the studs and positioned behind an opening in the interior wall, a door pivotably mounted to the housing member and able to adjust to an open position or closed position, and a locking assembly coupled to the door and having a rotary knob and a pair of arms coupled thereto. The rotary knob is adjusted in a first direction to draw the arms inward to disengage with the housing member, thereby permitting the door to pivotably adjust to the open and closed positions. The rotary knob is adjusted in a second direction to extend the arms outward to engage with the housing member, thereby permitting the door to remain locked when in the closed position.
