  • How many have their safe bolted to the floor?

    As the title says.. assuming a 300-400lbs safe. How many people have it bolted to the floor where it is sitting?

    Mines not but it took three people to get it into the house empty so it won't be easy at all full.

            Nope. But consisting the number of doors that had to be removed to get it in I'm not too worried.

            I am more concerned with where the hell I'm gonna put the next one I get since this one barely fits in its current place

                Mine is over 1000 lbs and it's still bolted, It took 3 to get it in, I'm sure 3 would try to get it out!

                  This is part of the reason mine isn't tied down and the reason it took three to move it.

                    the issue i have is this.. OPTIMALLY i would like to get it into the master closset off the master bedroom. but for some reason the door into the closset is only 22: wide.. So to get a bigger safe in i would have to remove the fram and then re frame it.
                    i could put it in a spot that would be PERFECTfor it in the master bedroom.. but no way could i bolt it to the floor there. but either way it would be a BITCH to get out..

                    the question is is having the safe not bolted out more security than having my guns sitting in drawers or a case...?

                      I would say they are definitely safer in a safe bolted down or not since they are obviously harder to access. Ultimately you are the one that has to decide which is better for you at this point in time.

                        Believe mine was 700 lbs empty, It's still bolted.

                        If the safe can be tipped over(which most house safes can) it makes it a lot easier to pry open the door.

                        My 2nd safe I'm looking to purchase is about 1000lbs empty, and it will be bolted also.

                        Also it took three guys carefully putting your safe in your house. Two criminals can get it out easy banging up the rest of your house along the way.

                          The right dolly, or a pack of golf balls, would make it easy to steal. I would not rely on weight alone as an obstacle. You have really nice toys, dude. Bolt it down.

                              A quality safe isn't going to be pried open.
