How does one bolt this safe to the floor?

There are 2 holes on the bottom of the safe and it comes with 2 screws. It depends on the type of floor you have, wood should be no problem, if concrete, then you will have to use a concrete bit to drill holes and use some type of concrete lag bolt....see your local hardware store. Also, I would recommend not using the screws that come with the safe. Look for stronger, and perhaps longer bolts.

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.

Hello, there are no holes in the bottom of this safe, there are two holes in the back which means you have to have a wall etc in the back. If you want to bolt it to the floor you will need to drill holes in the bottom of the this safe.

Hmm, we didn't. What we did do was to go to hardware store and buy a little metal contraption with white plastic wheel to "anchor" the door to the baseboard right where meets the door jamb when the sliding door is open. We have cats that like to insert a forepaw under the sliding door when it's closed and pull so that the door lifts outward, then bangs back down, so we wanted to prevent them from doing that. But there's no floor guide. I don't remember whether the kit came with a floor guide, but my husband didn't use it (if it did), and we don't miss it.

Installing the safe to a wooden floor is pretty easy, however mounting to a side wall would require one to drill extra holes. The safe comes with pre-drilled holes on the bottom, so mounting it to the floor is not hard.

No, it needs to be bolted down. I wouldn't risk this thing dropping to the floor. That would be a shame because it's really nice

Yes, I bolted mine to the floor. I had to get a bolt made for concrete since my house is on a slab.

There is a long bolt that goes down..loosing it so it drops further and further down. There is an angled round piece with the threaded hole in it and you need to get the long bolt into that hole. Then tighten it up. It needs a lot of tightening.

Bolt it,remove top drawer and use 1/4 20 bolts you may not need to put the bottom bolt in. you can install foam tape on the back so you don't scratch your box

No this unit does not need to be bolted to the floor. it seems very solid just sitting on the ground.

Yes, it can be bolted to the floor. I've got mine bolted down. I don't recall if it came with the bolts.

The safe can be mounted to the floor but I don't remember if it actually came with the bolts.

Place it on a solid surface with both caps on the rod and tap the top one with a hammer. I used a board placed on the floor.

Len all six bolts. Put on flat surface like a table. Twist feet until they are flat on table, then tighten slowly.

i would suggest get appropriate size concrete anchor screw if you want to mount on concrete floors. take the bottom plate off and take it to hard ware store to match it with the largest size anchor bolts you can get.

No, you don't have to bolt to floor. Cut you some 2 by 4s about 3 feet long and bolt to base. This keeps it stable when breaking the bead.

Like another comment, I have mine on the floor also. It comes with an anchor to hang it. It has simple instructions.

In the feet there are holes for bolts. So it has to be bolted to a table or plank. I'd recommend using an electric motor with a belt to run it. It's hard to turn buy hand due to its large capacity.

Can't answer as my husband bolted it on so it was more secure. I looked at the other answers from two people and u might use their suggestions
