Securing Your Safe

It is recommended to secure your safe to avoid tipping. It is ideal to install your safe at a location that is out of reach of the children and accessible to you or other trusted persons. Installing the safe in a relatively humid-less location is recommended to protect your firearm better. We highly recommend having a second person to help you stabilize the safe during installation to avoid tipping and injury.

To mount your safe to the floor, use the hardware provided or consult your hardware retailer for fastening hardware for your particular mounting surface.

1. Please put the safe at the location of your choice, open the safe door, and remove the EVA carpet on the safe floor to expose the factory-drilled holes, marking their corresponding locations on the floor with a marker.
2. Leave the safe to the side, drill pilot holes on your markings in the floor with a 10mm drill bit, and fully insert the plasticanchors (included parts) into the pilot holes.
3. Move the safe back to the location; secure the safe by threading and tightening the anchor bolts(included parts) through the factory-drilled holes into the plastic anchors installed in the previous step.
4. Check to ensure the safe is securely installed on the floor.
