Selecting Your Location
For optimal security, your safe must be mounted to the floor. The
safe should be installed in a dry, secure area, adjacent to a side
wall and with minimal space on either side.
The safe should be flat against the wall and floor. Remove the
baseboard if necessary.
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT PLAY WITH OR AROUND THE
SAFE AT ANY TIME.
Stack-On Tips
Before determining where to place your safe, verify the load bearing weight capacity of the floor
where the safe will reside or stairs the safe will encounter. Measure doorways ahead of time to be
sure your safe will safely pass through the necessary doorway. Select a location that is suitable
for bolting down your safe for extra theft protection.
Securing The Safe
WARNING
Stack-On recommends seeking the services of a professional to install your safe; local safe
dealers and locksmiths usually offer this service. By choosing to install your safe on your own,
you agree to take any responsibility for damages (physical or to your property) that may occur.
IMPORTANT: The safe must be removed from the skid/legs and fastened to the floor using appropriate
hardware. Failure to do so will void the warranty.
Place the safe in the desired location. With your safe open, lift the interior carpeting up and locate the
mounting hole bushings. These bushings are filled with fire resistant caulking which must be drilled out before
mounting the safe to the floor. Use a 3/8" diameter drill bit to drill out this caulking. Continue to use this drill
to mark the hole location on the floor. Move the safe away. Drill pilot holes in the floor as follows: For a wood
floor drill 5/16" diameter x 2-1/2" deep pilot holes. For a masonry floor drill 7/16" diameter x 2-1/2" deep pilot
holes for the anchors.
IMPORTANT: When you drill out the fire resistant caulking from the mounting holes, you must mount
the safe to the floor using lag bolts and gasket washers. Failure to do so will void the fire rating.
Reposition the safe and secure the safe with the lag bolts and gasket washers. Replace the carpeting.
Tip-Over Hazard
A child or adult can tip the safe and be killed or seriously injured.
