how about the hole in the safe? where is the best location for the hole
990006
Most safes are going to come with the hole already drilled. If it doesnt then you're going to have a heck of a time making your own without the proper tools.

Put the hole as high or higher than the bottom lip of the door opening. At this point, your safe is waterproof, right up to the door. You might as well maintain that protection against minor flooding. Also, if the safe is going in a finished space, like a closet, it won't be able to be pushed against the wall because of the baseboard trim. If you put the hole for the cord too low, where the baseboard is, you will have to pull the safe out even more to clear the cord. If you position it 10" above the floor, then the cord can exit using just the space between the safe back and the wall created by the baseboard.

Check under the carpet floor in your safe and you may find a hole. Two of my safe's had them, one didn't, so I drill one on the bottom back corner where I put the dryer. I hope this helped. RJ

This may sound foolish, but a locksmith might be able to make some sort of a key to fit in that hole. good luck

No.But it really depends on where the safe is located. As long as its in a heated & cooled space it should be ok.

If you do put gun or ammo in the safe be sure an add something to absorb the moisture. They have so many things on the market these days i wont list them out. Any time you have a water proof safe its almost guaranteed to build up condensation on the inside due to the combination of ambient temperature changes and being air tight.

It should be in the can. Somewhere ;) Some times it gets buried deep. (Part of the adventure.)

this is an awkward safe. the door is small and getting your weapon out involves fiddling with it. so while it may be large enough its tough to use. I gave mine to my son and got a gun vault. add to that the battery hangs on a fragile cord and piece of velcro inside the safe. there is no key so you have to access it using the manufactuer code not the one you input

You probably want to pull the drawer out so the safe is completely exposed, that would be about 8". This would allow the safe to be fully open. If not, you need about 6 " between the bottom and the top of the safe when open to slide your gun out.

Only if you plan to recess it into the floor studs. The door will not open easily and you will probably have to put a small thin rod to pull it open. The safe is designed to be wall mounted so the door easily springs open. Bottom Line: You can put it in the floor as long as the floor beams are 16 inches on center and have the required 14 1/4 inches between them to screw the safe in. Opening the door will be problematic.

It was inserted in the slit in the middle of the orange circle on the lid. I threw mine away. Love my Bean Safe.

Although I have yet to fasten it to my truck, my plan was to buy 1 bolts with 2 washers (one lock washer), 1 rubber gasket and a nut x 4. The safe comes with 4 holes for mounting. The "Bottom" of this safe is opposite the face or door, the door will open up toward you, as seen in the photo, so this will determine where you can or would put the safe if mounting via the bolt holes. Actually I just had another idea, depending on your truck or vehicle, you may be able to place this "inside" your glove box. I will not be doing that; I just installed my radio in that location, but it is an option for out of site installment.

Hello I am really not sure what the other options are for bolting down the safe. The safe does have a couple of holes in back and some hardware supplied by the manufacturer. I myself did not bolt the safe because for me it was not necessary.

Press and hold a red button on the inside of the safes door by the battery compartment

You can run a cable through the anchor holes in the back - or bottom - of the safe

I would go with 8 smaller holes. With bigger holes, you run the risk of escape!

No pre-drilled holes in the safe. My safe came with 2 - 4" lug screws, 2 washers, and 2 masonry anchors. To anchor safe to the floor, one has to tip the safe on its side and drill holes through the bottom at two indentations on opposite sides of the safe, using a 7/16" , masonry bit. Then sit the safe upright and place it where you want to secure it to the floor, mark the floor (through the drilled holes), move the safe aside, drill into the floor using 9/32" bit for wood floor or a 3/4" masonry bit for masonry floor (then install the masonry anchor in each hole); in either case, drill holes 2 1/2" deep into the floor. Move the safe back over the holes; for wood floors, insert the screw through the washer, through the holes in the safe, and into the holes in the wood floor - tighten with a wrench. Do the same for masonry floors and tighten with a wrench. Hope this helps.

This safe can be mounted to the floor or the wall. There are for large screws that are provided with the safe and the 4 appropriate holes are available to mount it.

any safe can be broken into this one you would need a crow bar and a sledge hammer, In short it is pretty secure
