Important: Pre-drill wall anchor holes in the safe prior to anchoring the safe to the floor or wall. See “Anchoring Your Safe to a Wall” on page 10.

9Fill the 2" openings in the fire-resistant material with high temperature silicone caulking. The caulking will seal the opening and prevent hot gases from entering the safe during a fire. (Not required on models that are not fire-resistant.)

10Replace the floor panel, elevation brace and interior shelving.

Important: Pre-drill the pass-through holes in the safe back and floor prior to anchoring the safe to the floor or wall.

1Follow steps 1 – 5 above, but use 3/8" x 4" lag bolts.

2Remove the safe and drill holes in the floor with a 5/16" wood bit.

3Reposition the safe over the holes and install the lag bolts and washers through the safe floor. Important: Pre-drill wall anchor holes in the safe prior to anchoring the safe to the floor or wall. See “Anchoring to a Wall” on page 10.

Anchoring to a wall, in addition to the floor, further strengthens your anchoring system. (Without wall anchors, the height of the safe allows it to be used as a lever to pry against the floor anchors.)

Mark 2" from the top and each side of the safe wall to locate anchor holes.

1Measure 2" from the top and each side of the safe’s top interior corners. Mark these spots on the safe’s interior with a marker (Figure 3).

2Using a sharp utility knife cut a 2" x 2" “X” in the carpet where you marked. Tape the carpet flaps open using masking tape. Use a 2" wood bit to drill though the fire-resistant insulation. Do not attempt to drill through the steel safe body with the wood bit.

3Use a ½" high-speed bit designed for drilling metal to drill through the steel safe wall. Once you have drilled though the fire-resistant material and safe body, mark the center of your holes on the wall.

4Remove the safe and use a 3/8" masonry bit to drill the anchor holes. Reposition the safe over the holes and install the expansion anchors and washers through the safe interior. Use a minimum of 3/8" x 4" expansion-type anchor bolts and 1¾" steel washers inside the safe body to reinforce the safe wall at the anchor position.

5Fill the holes in the safe interior with high-temperature silicone caulking and reposition the carpeting “X” cut out. The caulking will hold the carpet in place.
