How it works

Assess location and substrate

We confirm whether you are anchoring to a wood subfloor, concrete slab, or wall studs and identify stud positions or concrete anchor points.

Position and drill

We place the safe in its final position, mark the anchor holes through the safe's built-in openings, and drill pilot holes into the substrate.

Bolt down and test

We install and torque the anchor hardware, then push and pull on the safe to confirm it is firmly secured before we leave.

Safe Anchoring — FAQ

Where is the best place to anchor a home safe?

A closet floor close to a corner provides the best concealment and rigidity. If the safe needs to be in a living area, we position it where the floor or wall provides solid anchoring — typically over joists or into wall studs.

Will anchoring void my safe's warranty?

Most manufacturers include pre-drilled anchor holes and explicitly recommend bolting the safe down. Check your model's documentation — anchoring through those built-in holes typically is the intended installation method.

What if my floor is concrete?

We use a hammer drill and concrete anchors for slab floors. The process takes a bit longer but produces a very solid connection.

Can you anchor a gun safe too?

Yes. Gun safes and larger fire safes are anchored the same way. Heavier safes may benefit from a helper to position them, so let us know the approximate weight when you book.
