MOUNTING YOUR SAFE
For extra security, you may want to permanently secure you safe to a back wall or floor.
Pre-drilled holes for this purpose are located on the bottom and backside of the safe.
While it is not extremely difficult to mount the safe, it is important that you have the
proper tools and knowledge to do so. If not, then you might choose to utilize the services
of a professional.
MOUNTING (
Models 5203 / 5205 / 5207)
1.
Select a suitable and convenient location and determine if you want to secure
it to a wall or to the floor.
2.
Make sure the safe is empty of all contents including the removable carpet.
3.
If the safe is going to be secured to a wall, it is recommended that the center
mounting hole be lined up with one of the vertical wall studs and secured using
a 3” lag screw with washer. The lag screw can be tightened into place using a
ratchet or drill driver with ratchet attachment.
4.
If safe is being mounted to a wood floor, then it can be secured using at least
two or more of the bottom pre-drilled holes. Again lag screws and washers
should be used to secure in place.
5.
If safe is being mounted to a concrete slab, then after locating placement and
marking the hole positions, a mortar bit will be required to drill holes into the
concrete and masonry anchors used to secure in place.
6.
Once safe is properly mounted, replace the carpet and shelf if provided.
It is important to note that if prior to installation you have any questions and/or
concerns regarding the proper securing of the safe to a wall or floor you should check
with your local home center/hardware retailer or independent contractor. The securing
of the safe to a wall or floor is at the consumer’s expense and discretion. LHLP, Inc. is
not responsible for any costs incurred if the unit is damaged and needs to be replaced.
