• 2 Lag screws.
• 2 Washers. 2 Masonry anchors.

Tools needed to bolt the safe to the floor

• DO NOT drill from any location inside the safe.

Tip the safe onto its left side (door hinges horizontal with the floor). Unlock the safe, and open the door. Look to the bottom of the safe for two indentations on the feet in opposite corners. Using the 7⁄16″ (11 mm) bit, drill a hole through each indentation perpendicular to the bottom of the safe. Do NOT drill from any location inside the safe. Tip the safe upright, place the safe in the desired location, and open the door. Use a screw or pencil to mark the floor through both holes. Move the safe aside to clear both marked spots for drilling.
