Why Professional Safe Installation Matters
A 600-pound safe feels secure when you're trying to move it. But two people with a hand truck and 20 minutes can wheel almost any unbolted safe right out your front door. An unanchored safe is one of the most common items stolen in home burglaries because once it's out the door, criminals can take their time opening it offsite with power tools.
Proper bolt-down installation turns your safe from portable into permanent. We anchor every safe to the floor (or wall, depending on type) using grade-appropriate hardware and verified anchors.
Types of Safes We Install
- Gun safes — Liberty, Winchester, Browning, SecureIt, Champion, Steelwater, and others. Floor-anchored to concrete or framed floor.
- Fireproof document safes — SentrySafe, First Alert, Honeywell. Anchor to slab when possible.
- Burglary-rated safes — AMSEC, Hayman, SafeMaster, RSC and TL-rated commercial-grade safes for high-value contents.
- Floor safes — Recessed safes installed into the slab, completely concealed and immovable.
- Wall safes — Anchored between studs, often behind a picture or in a closet.
- Pistol & jewelry safes — Smaller safes that still need anchoring — arguably need it most, since they're easiest to walk off with.
- RV and gun-room safes — Specialty installations for unusual locations.
