Does the safe need to be bolted down?

It is not going to tip or anything if you do not bolt it, but a safe really should be bolted down. It only takes a couple big guys with a furniture mover to steal the whole thing.

Hey Bob whts up, yes the safe can be bolted to the floor and yes it does come with the screws to do it , mine came with all the hardware to bolt it to the floor if i had to. But you'll be really happy with this safe. I love mine, i hope this helps with your answer.

Having read the previous annswers I would agree with both. The bestthing is to bolt it down with the hardware included. If some one wants to break into your safe it can always be done.

Hi Craig, It is secure enough that it needs to be intentionally opened. Thanks

The manufacturer says that it should be down. However, we have left it up with our second child to hang some safe pull toys.

If your safe is not equipped with an inside electric outlet, you will need to drill a small hole in the back of the safe. The unit itself comes apart so you only need a very small hole. The unit comes with detailed easy to follow step by step instructions.

Yes, but you would have to remove the seat. The safe comes with a mounting plate that you secure then the safe locks in with a slide in slot and two thumb screws. It's a bit tricky to get it secured with the thumb screws. Maybe with smaller hands it would be easier. Love the safe and ease of use. I only had to mount it once so in the scope of things it's not bad to mount.

No, it does not have to be bolted down. The bases on each end are wide and the machine is stable. Ours is out on our shed which provides some protection from the elements but it is exposed to FL heat/cold as well as the humidity. Once we noticed extra strain with the cables (due to weather exposure) we used a little wd40 and haven't had problems. If you are storing it away from exposure to the elements it should be fine. The overall movement of the cables and pulleys are very smooth. We did have a cable jump off the pulley but that was when the tension was released too fast (someone tried to pull more weight and let it go too fast) but it was very easily corrected.

You will need concrete anchor screw to do that. The hardware that comes with the safe won't work

The safe has a plate that can be bolted to the floor. You secure the plate with bolts from the inside of the safe. If you are not allowed to use the plate (some colleges will not allow you to drill holes in the floor) you can use a cable lock to lock it to a permanent fixture in the room to keep it from being carried away.

If you anchor it as instructed, it is very secure. You can use the anchors provided or bolt it down.

I have not bolted mine down and have not looked in to it. I do recall seeing something on their website that was a safety cable which you could put through it and something else to secure it in place, so that might work. There is plenty of room for the handgun with the shotgun if you don't mind them touching.

This safe is not designed to be bolted to the floor. You could do it but it would require a custom solution. I think it would be better to buy a safe designed to be bolted to the floor rather than to develop a custom solution.

You do not absolutely need to bolt it down, BUT do you really want to put something like a TV on a moving shelf that is not secure to it's foundation. Will it move and swivel without securing it to something . . . YES, is it very risky to do so . . . YES, would I recommend it . . . NO.

I'm assuming the wires are running horizontally, if they are this will not fit. If the wires are running vertically up the wall, and they are electric, you will most likely be able to fit the safe into the wall cavity but since you will need to bolt this safe into the wall studs - the same studs the electrical wires will be running up - you should not install it as you could potentially fray the wire installing the bolts and cause a fire hazard

Yes you'll have to find the studs and make sure that you can at least drill into on if them in irder to secure the safe.

The safe is absolutely not fire, dust or waterproof. It's cheap. It's roomy and divided. For its price, it is relatively strong and, if properly bolted down, is reasonably theft resistant.
