I just received a very nice fireproof safe that has no mounting hardware.
So it's fireproof etc but not thief proof. It's about 2 X 2 X 2.


I'd like to mount the sucker down with something. I'm thinking about
strapping it down to the floor by wrapping angle iron around up the left
side across the top and down the right side leaving ears at the bottom.
Kind of like an upside down U. Then drill into the slab and bolt the ears
down to the floor.


It won't insure that a determined thief won't just cut off the bolts and
unstrap it but it will definitely take longer.


Welcome for all comments/ideas?


encapsulate it in concrete


That would certainly make it safer!


as long as the floor underneath withstands the weight. :-p
