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.

I purchased a cable lock at the safe store where I purchased the dorm safe. It has the ability to be secured to a pipe, furniture, etc. Place the safe out of sight i.e. Under the bed and attach it to the bed frame. When things go missing in a dorm room it is because the stolen item was left unattended in full view. We have had this safe for a year and it has been a smart investment for our college student.As a parent we need to set our students up for a successful year and teach them to secure their valuables.

There's two ways you can either bolt down the safe to the floor or it comes with a cable to secure it

It probably wouldn't keep anybody out that knew what they were doing. If it isn't somehow bolted down most could just haul the whole safe out of the house.

The holes on the back and at the bottom of the safe are intended for secure attachment to the wall or cabinet. If you don't attach the safe to a surface, just cover them up so nobody tries to open it with a stick by touching the reset button. I don't think we can open it with a paper clip!

Here is a great you tube video and review of the safe. I found it excellent! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=001syVM1pS8

Hello, i dont think this is an option. I think your first concern in this situation should be your safety (i.e. locking the door) and getting somewhere safe. Step 2 should be dialing 911. Step 3 Accessing your firearm locked up in wall safe. If you want something more handy and quiet, you may want to look at the Gunvault products. They are table top and can be placed right on your night stand.

The safe should still lock as long as you turn the standard key counterclockwise. If I the safe door is out of adjustment the lock will not engage. Try wiggling the safe door while turning either key counterclockwise to be sure to engage the lock. Also ensure the lock works by opening the safe door then turn the key counterclockwise, then turn the key clockwise again to ensure the lock is staying locked

you will not be doing so. You could bolt it to a sturdy shelf or bookcase but you will not bolt this to a floor. Additionally a determined thief will destroy the shelf to hell and back to get it, but it will take time for them to get it open. If you want a safe that will bolt to the floor then you will have to increase the amount of money you're willing to spend. This is a great brand, but this safe is meant more for personal use in a safe home to keep people out that are not skilled thieves or gangsters.

This safe is not exactly theft proof, as someone could carry it away and try to break it open. It is very heavy, however, which would make it far less likely to be stolen. I keep the key in a hidden place, so that documents cannot be easily stolen. The safe also has to be opened in a specific way, which would make it hard to open it in a rush even if they had access to the key. Hope this helps!

Although there is a thin tab on both side of the handle for a lock to go through, it is not in any way a "secure" lock. As stated in another answer, case can be easily cut into or the hinges pried apart. It's more of a "I don't want you in here" lock than a "you can't get in here" lock. Do not put anything of value or danger in this case thinking it would be safe.

The safe is basically a sheet-metal gym locker used to store guns. It has no insulating qualities, and would in all probability melt in hot house fire. If it didn't melt, the internal temps from the fire would probably damage anything stored inside.

I hope you're asking as the potentially robbed, and not as the potential thief! However, my theory is to lock every single thing I leave in the room, and at least I can frustrate the impulsive thief, the one that can't resist an opportunity. I think there are more of those than the plan-ahead thief who breaks in with the plan to steal something specific. Of course, light items like backpacks and briefcases can just be carried out. I'll usually lock my backpack and then leave it inside my suitcase which is also locked. Some hotels have large enough safes to stash a small laptop or spare cash. I must say - there is so much security these days that I'm not sure it's worth it to worry. Be prepared, and usually you'll be happy with the results. And bolt cutters can thwart any lock, zipper, or clasp.

There are indentations that you drill through. The instructions cover the procedure fairly thoroughly. Great little safe...not a light weight.

Be sure you have, at the very least, 16 oz of a liquid of some sort inside. Otherwise it won't seal off. A built-in safe guard.

The Safe is much heavier than you think. I mounted my safe on the side of my bed so while lying in bed if I hang my arm over the side I can open it without even looking and have my Berreta 9mm compact in hand. I mounted a thin piece of angle that holds the weight and then bolted the safe to the side of the bed.

Yes along with a key. I would recommend you buy something else. This really is an unreliable safe.
