SAFETY

WEAPON STORAGE

If you choose to utilize this safe to store a ﬁrearm always follow proper ﬁrearm and local laws when storing a ﬁrearm.
SA Consumer Products strongly recommends that you do not store loaded ﬁrearms.
Always follow the ﬁrearm safety rules set out by the ﬁrearm’s manufacturer.
A Sanctuary safe or any other ﬁrearm storage device cannot take the place of other safety procedures including advising children of the dangers of ﬁrearms.
SA Consumer Products and its distributors of the Sanctuary safes do not recommend, suggest, advise, promote, or otherwise condone the ownership or use of ﬁrearms. We believe the decision to own or use a ﬁrearm is a serious decision that should only be made by an adult who has carefully considered the risks and beneﬁts of such a decision.

PROPER PLACEMENT AND MOVING OF SAFE

To maximize burglary protection and stability, securing the safe to the ﬂoor or wall is recommended.
SA Consumer Products recommends that you store your safe in a closet, oﬃce, basement, bedroom or any other location that is convenient for you but out of the direct line of sight from prying eyes.
Always ensure the safe is in an isolated and dry area. Never place the safe in direct contact with a wet ﬂoor. When installing your safe on a concrete ﬂoor, use of a moisture/protective barrier is highly recommended. Failure to do so, or exposing the safe to chemicals or other adverse environments, may void the warranty.

KEEPING YOUR SAFE DRY
We recommend placing a moisture/protective barrier between your safe and concrete ﬂoor to prevent any moisture, mildew and rust damage the safe. Installing your safe in a place with climate control (heat in the winter and cooling in the summer) is highly recommended. In areas of high humidity or frequent temperature ﬂuctuations (garages), it is recommended to take appropriate precautions to ward against moisture damage. We strongly encourage the use of an internal dehumidiﬁer and/or desiccants to protect your contents from rust or mildew. Internal dehumidiﬁers should not be in direct contact with the side or back walls.

SECURING YOUR SAFE

WARNING: YOUR SAFE IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT ITSELF WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED. HOWEVER, CAUTION SHOULD BE USED TO AVOID TIPPING. WHILE SECURING YOUR SAFE BE SURE TO HAVE A SECOND PERSON HOLD AND STABILIZE THE SAFE TO KEEP IT FROM TIPPING, CAUSING INJURY, AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE SAFE AND SURROUNDING STRUCTURES. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL COMPROMISE THE SAFETY, SECURITY, AND WARRANTY OF THE SAFE.

TOOLS NEEDED TO BOLT SAFE TO A CONCRETE SURFACE

DRILL / HAMMER DRILL
DRILL BIT – 7/16” ( for installing into concrete with provided hardware)
WRENCH – 11/16” (17MM) SOCKET
HAMMER
SAFETY GLASSES
GLOVES
OTHER SAFETY EQUIPMENT AS NEEDED
1. Use the hardware provided or consult your hardware retailer for fastening hardware for your particular mounting surface.
2. Open your safe door and locate and remove the four black caps on the safe ﬂoor. This will provide access to the factory-drilled bolt-down holes.
3. To secure your safe to the ﬂoor it will ﬁrst be necessary to drill pilot holes in the ﬂoor surface.
4. For the hardware provided (concrete ﬂoor installation) we recommend using a hammer drill and 7/16” concrete drill bit to drill the four corresponding holes in the concrete ﬂoor.
5. Insert and drive the plastic anchoring plugs into the pilot holes. You may need to use a hammer to fully insert the plugs into the pilot holes.
6. Secure the safe, by threading all 4 anchor bolts through the factory drilled bolt down holes in the bottom of the safe and ratcheting down tight.
7. Make sure the metal washer sits on top of the rubber washer. Tighten the bolt to compress the rubber washer between the safe and the metal washer. Failure to do so will allow water to enter the safe in the event of a ﬂood.
8. Replace the four black caps onto the ﬂoor of the safe.

LOADING YOUR SAFE
