Getting Started
Although it is possible to install most floor safe yourself, we
recommend a qualified safe installer or contractor do the work.
Please note that the ability of a safe to deter theft is a function of
the time burglar has to work on the safe all as the tools used.
Generally, burglars seek quick and easy targets for theft and
your safe will present formidable challenge. Therefore installing
your safe in a concrete floor offers the maximum degree of
burglary protection.
Because of installation variables due to home or office
construction/design, there is no one correct method to install
your safe. How you install your safe is just as important as the
decision to purchase your safe and the installation instructions
below will help guide you through this process.
Make sure there are no underground electrical, plumbing,
heating telephone or other wires present in the location where
the safe is to be installed.
If the safe is to be located in an area where moisture may exist,
the external application of tar or heavy gauge plastic warp
should be used to cover the outside body of the safe. The
procedure is recommended regardless of conditions. This is
NOT a waterproof or fireproof safe.
Follow these steps before installing your safe.
- Before installation the safe should have a dust cover and
sealed with masking tape to prevent debris from entering the
safe during installation.
- 48 hours of cement drying time is recommended prior to use.

Concrete Floor
Wood Floor
Existing Concrete Floor Installation
Measure the outside dimension of the safe body and add 4
inches to ensure enough room for installation of concrete around
the body of safe. Layout and score the area for installation. Use
an electric jack hammer to break throughout the existing concrete
to the desired size. After the concrete is removed, dig out the hole
to accommodate the safe, make the hole at least 3 inches deeper
than the safe size. Pour enough concrete in the bottom of the
hole to form a firm base for the safe to set on level. Insert the
safe on top of the coverer base. Finish filling the hole with cement
and add any reinforcement necessary to maintain position. Finish
off concrete level with the floor. Make sure the top of safe is key
level with the floor. Drill in 4 mounting screws provided into the
mounting holes in the safe.
Wood Floor Installation
Build a retaining form of wood or mesh wire basket lined with
roofing paper and attach to the floor joists, between the floor and
ground. Cut a hole in the floor and set the safe using the same
directions as noted above for concrete floor installation. Reinforce
joists as necessary to compensate for weight. If a wood form is
used, remove wood after cement is sent to prevent pests from
traveling to your structure
New Concrete Floor
Dig ground to provide a form as in concrete floor installation
noted above. Put safe into position in live concrete and adjust to
proper level, etc. prior to finishing of floor. It is better and
recommended to "block out" a hole for the safe, leaving 4 inches
of room on each side to be installed. Install the safe after the
walls and roof are up to eliminate climate damage.
