Maintenance

Clean the surface of the safe with a slightly damp cloth.

If the hinges develop a squeak, apply one or two drops of light machine oil to hinge contact points.

If the digital lock's yellow light flashed, this indicates the AA batteries are low, please replace the batteries immediately. Otherwise, replace once per year.

Anchoring Your Safe

Anchoring the safe to an immovable surface makes theft of the entire safe extremely difficult. The safe can be anchored to any surface, but wood and concrete are the most common.

Before anchoring the safe, the shelf and foam padding must be removed to expose the anchoring holes in the bottom of the safe. Mark through the mounting holes before drilling.

The following are the most common scenarios for mounting your safe. However, since the safe can be mounted to numerous surfaces, use discretion to determine the best mounting method.

WARNING Verify that floor area to be drilled is free of electrical wires, gas lines, water lines, sewer lines, etc. Drilling into these items unintentionally can cause electric shock, fire, or property damage.

Anchoring to Concrete Floors

Lag shield anchors are generally recommended because they mount flush with the floor and allow the safe to be bolted down with a lag screw and flat washer. Ensuring that the lag shield anchors are flush with the floor aids in the ease of movement at a later time.

Installation of lag shield anchors requires you to drill holes into the concrete. Drilling into concrete properly requires a hammer drill with an appropriate-sized concrete drill bit.

To ensure strong and successful anchoring to concrete:

• Drill holes in one pass and avoid raising the bit up and down to clear the dust, which may cause the holes to become slightly over-sized.
• Drill holes1/2"-1" deeper than the length of the lag shield to allow room for the bottom of the screw and any remaining dust.
  • Vacuum dust from holes before installing lag shields.

Bolting to Wood Floors

Lag screws and flat washers are typically used to bolt safes to wood floors (or floors with a wood sub-floor).

Installation of lag screws works best if holes are pre-drilled to accommodate the lag screws. A standard hand-held power drill with the appropriate-sized wood drill bit is required to complete the job.

To ensure strong and successful anchoring to wood:

• Pre-drill holes at the correct size for the lag screws. The correct pre-drill size is always smaller than the lag screw size. (For example, a 7/32" bit is used to pre-drill holes for a 3/8" lag screw)
  • Use at least a 2" long lag screw.
• For additional strength, fasten at least two of the screws into floor joists.
