LOCKING THE SAFE
To lock the safe, close the door and rotate the
handle counter clockwise until it stops. If the
handle is not turned until it stops, the locking
mechanism will not lock.
NOTE ON LOCKING THE SAFE: Because
the locking mechanism is deactivated for
approximately 3 to 6 seconds after the
combination is entered, wait a minimum of 6
seconds from the time the combination is entered
to lock the safe.
SECURING THE SAFE
SELECTING A LOCATION
1
Secure the safe with the fasteners and replace the
carpeting.
Use these holes to fasten the safe to the floor. Drill
the appropriate diameter and depth of pilot holes
into the floor depending on the type of hardware
being used and the type of floor surface. (Figure 2)
To secure your safe to the floor it will first be
necessary to drill pilot holes through the fire
insulation in the floor of the safe. First place the safe
in the desired location. Lift the bottom carpeting up
to find the two hole locations marked on the floor
insulation. Drill holes through the insulation using
the same diameter drill as the diameter of the
mounting hardware you are using.
IMPORTANT: The fasteners you use must
completely fill the hole you drilled into the
insulation. (Figure 1) You must use the fasteners
after you drill the holes. Failure to do so will void the
fire rating.
2
The safe should be flat against the wall and floor.
Remove the baseboard if necessary.
The safe must be mounted to the floor. For
optimal safety and security, the safe should be
installed adjacent to a side wall with minimal
space on either side of the safe, in an isolated,
dry and secure area.
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT PLAY
WITH OR AROUND THE SAFE AT
ANY TIME.
NOTE: The safe must be secured to the floor.
Use the hardware provided or consult your
hardware retailer for fastening hardware for your
particular mounting surface.
NOTE: This safe must be mounted to the floor.
Failure to do so will compromise the safety and
security of the safe.
