        For this particular safe , YES.

        You have to bolt it down or to a wall.

        If you swing the door open and the safe is not full, it will tip forward VERY easily.

        I bolted mine to the wall behind it.

        The skin drills easily.

            Bolt it to the floor. It's not hard to remove from the wall and you voided your warranty.

                        once again. I can't just go drilling into my foundation; its military housing. plus I don't even know if my foundation is a stressed concrete slab. I'd hate to drill into a cable.

                            Get an alarm system and have them call the MPs if it goes off.

                                    That is why I suggested drilling the wall.
                                    Much easier and patchable.
                                    Floors usually have carpet or are concrete.
                                    In a rental drilling that is not an option.
                                    Find the stud or 2 and drill the back of the safe.
                                    Not a big deal.
