SELECTING A LOCATION
1. The safe must be mounted to the floor. For optimal
safety and security, the safe should be installed
adjacent to a side wall with minimal space on either
side of the safe and in an isolated, dry and secure
area.
2. The safe should be flat against the wall and floor.
Remove the baseboard if necessary.
CAUTION! Children should not play with or
around the safe at any time.
SECURING THE SAFE
CAUTION! The safe must be secured to the
floor. Use the hardware provided or consult
Uline Customer Service at 1-800-295-5510 for
fastening hardware for particular mounting
surfaces.
CAUTION! This safe must be mounted to the
floor. Failure to do so will compromise the
safety and security of the safe.
1. To secure safe to the floor, it will first be necessary
to drill pilot holes through the fire insulation in the
floor of the safe. First, place the safe in the desired
location. Lift the bottom carpeting up to find the two
hole locations marked on the floor insulation. Drill
holes through the insulation using the same diameter
drill as the diameter of the mounting hardware.
