Is there a way to secure this safe with a cable? Or is bolting it down to a surface the only option?

Not really, you can put one cable trough the hole but you will need to find a way to tie it up. I would prefer the screw to a stool.

Yes. I went to Home Depot and got galvanized steel cable, and bracket tie down. Loop the cable through whatever (I looped through my bed headboard and frame) and then connect the two ends through 2 of the 4 bolting holes on the bottom. After connecting with 2 or 3 Phillips screw ties, it will lay flat on the bottom of the safe. Then lay down the foam liner over the cable, and you are good.

The bottom of the safe has four predrilled whole. If you slid the cable up on and out the other, then yes. You could drill a whole though the side if your wanting to use the iron key cable system. A good bit and some oil a 18v hand drill would work.

The safest way would be to put a screw/nail in the wall. The unit has a slotted hole for a device with a head to safely hold the unit to the wall. It is light enough however, to use double sided tape or velcro which would be better than tape.I would reccomend the screw, should you have to change the battery, just pick the unit off of the wall.

The safe can be mounted. My safe came with 3 or 4 in bolts. I have not used them yet.

I haven't tried myself, however it looks like a small Allen key will work. On the side of the housing that has the safety, the top screw by the clip appears to be a hex. Let us know if that works out for you!

There is a safety strap that attaches to the wall and the top of the unit. It needs to be mounted into a wall stud with the correct hardware. If mounted correctly it will prevent the possibility of the unit falling forward.

No locking cable is included. hardware is included to bolt the safe tk the floor, wall, etc.

It is heavy but can be carried by one person. I would bolt it or not use at all as a safe.

It's very easy. Just remove the safety pin. Lower or raise, and place the safety pin back to lock it

There are two designated spots for you to drill through that is located on the very bottom shelf inside the safe. You drill through those two spots and use the included mounting hardware and this safe isn't going anywhere. There are no designated spots to drill through the back/side so it is not wall mountable. I would understand why because most homes have drywall so the drywall could be demoed around the safe and then the safe can be taken. Ripping up the floor (carpet, wood, sub flooring, concrete, etc.) will take a lot more effort when this safe is properly mounted to the floor from within the safe.

It isn't easy to secure but this is what I've done: Put the lower circular connectors on top of one another so they are together. The top parts then go together by pushing the part that sticks up into the groove on the edge of the other side. They then are locked in place.

For a secure installation you would want to anchor with bolts or screws. If you Velcro the mount it may come off with extinguisher when you go use it in an emergency. True industrial 3M grade Velcro may work but anchoring with fasteners is always strongest.

Cable loop will work however, the rack must be secured to a wall where it can not be stolen as well.

Yes it can be done.I did it to mine and it was a carpeted floor so the plate will squish down the carpet when you tighten it properly and when you do that you have to use a longer bolt to secure the safe to the plate.Note:the longer bolt is the only issue because it is metric and it has a smaller diameter head to recess into the base of the safe.I was lucky because I happen to have one.If you don't have carpet you will be fine.

There are 4 pre-drilled holes on the bottom. My car is low profile (I don't have a lift) so I purchased a woefully inadequate cable to temporarily "secure" it to the rail of my car seat and straps to prevent the safe from moving around. To make it more permanent, I went to a body shop to have them help me drill the holes in my floorboard and mount the safe.

Although I have not bolted mine yet the paperwork that came with the safe says you can and mine also came with a kit to bolt it down. Bolting it does require drilling holes through the safe and as explained in the paperwork that comes with the safe drilling holes means that it will no longer be waterproof.

Dear Carl,SentrySafe provides tools to fix this safe to the wall. It will be from the back to what I noticed. I did not see any provision for fixing it to the floor.Thank you,B. M.

I don't run the cable through the metal security tab. I use chain to secure it to the power pedestal and put the padlock shackle through the security tab. If you want to use cable it will have to have a loop on each end then secure both ends to the security tab with a padlock. My unit is out in my motor home but if I remember correctly the hole is only about 3/8". For what its worth the tab isn't that substantial but it will slow someone down if they want to steal it.
