    Securing A Safe

    I'm sure this has been asked before, but here goes.

    I just bought a 24 gun Rhino Safe. I have been using a Stack On 8 Gun Cabinet which will now be used for ammo.

    I am renting my current place and all the floors throughout are tile. I obviously don't want to drill the tile and I don't want to put the safe in the garage. When I was using the Stack On I used wall anchors to secure it (I will be patching the drywall when I move out.) Do you guys have any suggestions of alternative methods to secure the new Rhino Safe?

    I have two safes on post-tension slab.

    I bolted both safes to the wall studs, and then bolted both safes to each other with Grade 8 bolts.

    Just trying to make things as awkward as possible for bad guys!
    You will never, in your life, have a chance like this again.
    If I were you, I would not pass this up. I would not let this go by...this is rare.
    Come on...what harm??

      How do you guys secure it to the floor that is upstairs, or on a raised foundation? Toggle bolts?

        Nuts and bolts with washers underneath.

          I'm renting also and am unable to drill/bolt my safe to the floor due to lease requirements. Only thing I can do is load it up with ammo to make it as heavy as possible(probaly around 900 lbs now) and hope whoever breaks into my place when I'm out tips it over and crushes themselves.
