Options for securing safes in house

[AAShooter]

Get a block of concrete and set it in the bottom. You can add a lot of weight that way, and keep it from being walked off with. Fit a piece of velvet over it to protect the butts of your rifles and presto! Set down and you can pull it back out when you want to move it, reducing weight. It's what I did!

Bags of lead shot. Or ammo.

I would but then I shoot it all and we're back to a safe on a diet.


No matter how much I buy I have never been able to maintain a stockpile :/

With my security camera, I can remotely monitor my property on my smart phone or alarm me via email or text message whenever any motion is detected.

Yeah... Me too... I have 16 of them.

Still makes for a nice video when someone pushes the safe down the stairs and out the front door. Gone in 60 seconds.

sounds like you could slip a smaller safe like that one into one end of a closet (out of site) in the dark and hidden with clothes.

mine are lagged into the slab and the wall and guarded 24/7 by 2 grumpy police trained GSD's, and an even grumpier wife who's is usually home . Knock yourself out, I'll make the popcorn and pull up a chair to watch.

The velvet is a good idea. A scrap of carpet is probably better. Ask your local carpet store if they will just give you some scraps. You will probably get a piece bigger than you need. Unless a remnant is at least as big as a small room, they throw it away.

Get a safe rather than an RSA, if it's tall enough for a rifle, even a small one can easily weigh 3,000 lbs+ and prying is futile.

I rented for a while and I couldnt drill into the floor. I put my safe in a closet, and the bolted a pice of flat iron sheet that was bigger that the doorway to the bottom of the safe. I did this once the safe was put inside the closet. By no means was it fully safe, but they anyone wanting to get it out would have to break the door frame and walls to get it out. It worked for me.

Good idea.

Closets are where most people hide their valuables.

A professional thief will always check the closets, every single time the break into a place they will check the closets.

If you have a garage with a concrete floor, drill that sucker to the concrete. When you move, fill the holes with a slurry of quickcrete. The holes you drill will only be 1/2 inch at the most.

Is it possibile to hide or camouflage the item ? Thieves have been known to miss items that are just part of another item !
