I bolted down my first safe

[Glock31B]

So I am a new home owner and the FIRST thing I did was for the first time bolt my safe down to the concrete. It was relatively easy after I chose the method to bolt it down. I used 4 3 1/2 wedge anchors and a concrete sealant for the holes. And of course I used a hammer drill, i rented one at the home depot down the street for $40. Military discount their helped out. So to all of you that are thinking about or have never bolted down a safe, don't feel intimidated. It was reletively simple and I am glad it is all done.

You forgot to post the location so we could determine whether or not you did a decent job.

Good one Merc1138

Glad to hear OP. I bolted mine, too.

Bolt the safe down

This is very good.

Also, it helps to put the safe in such a place where it is difficult to get a sawzall on the side.

The other thing is to make absolutely certain that your tools are either locked up or hidden.

I bought my hammer drill at Home Depot for $50.

Good job! I felt tons better about everything once I anchored mine down. It was easy too!

Don't forget to consider post tension slab before drilling

A masonry bit will not go through those cables easily and the chance of even hitting one is low. If you're really worried you can buy anchors made for a PT slab.

That safe you bolted down?

It's too small.

My safe is bolted down inside a closet that was framed around it.

It's also too small.
