Build a metal cage/brackets around the fire safe. You can put some holes

in it to allow you to bolt or chain it to the floor without drilling into the safe. Think of a steel plate or bar you place on top of the safe that protrudes beyond the safe. Drill holes in the corners so you can bolt to the floor. You could even do the same thing out of 2x4s - it wouldn't be quite as strong as steel, but it would sure slow down the local teenage kid breaking in.

Any of you Loungers ever secured a fire safe so that it can't be stolen? -- MP4VT2004 02/20/2018 7:40PM

Mine weighs alot, not sure thieves are going to have the time or equipment -- fordham 02/21/2018 10:14AM

The best idea, don't keep it in the closet closest to your side of the bed. -- thankbud 02/21/2018 08:25AM

Hmm...I see your point. Perhaps I should reconsider... -- MP4VT2004 02/21/2018 10:00AM

My Gardall has mounting holes in the bottom to secure to concrete slab. -- MikeVT85 02/20/2018 8:53PM

Have you considered a bank box. -- Betabeachbum 02/20/2018 8:32PM

I bury my safes in the backyard. ** -- RoswellGAHokie 02/20/2018 8:04PM

Mine is in the freezer. Nobody will look there for valuables ** -- TheNuke 02/20/2018 8:24PM

Hide mine in my sock drawer. Don’t tell any burglars. ** -- EDGEMAN 02/21/2018 12:36AM

Just hide it really well. -- HokieSignGuy 02/20/2018 8:03PM

I made a false front space in the Laundry Room -- UTPr0sim 02/20/2018 8:25PM

Mine has instructions and brackets to bolt it to studs ... -- vt90 02/20/2018 7:54PM

Well, I hate to break it to you 90... -- MP4VT2004 02/20/2018 7:56PM

Good point. I should leave the door open ... -- vt90 02/20/2018 8:02PM

10-4...that's what I have, too. I'll have to do some more internet recon. ** -- MP4VT2004 02/20/2018 8:05PM

Pfft put a 152 pound flask of mercury in the safe...problem solved ** -- Major Kong 02/20/2018 7:53PM

In keeping with HS kids from MD, fulminated mercury? ** -- EDGEMAN 02/20/2018 8:01PM

Whoa...that's heavy, man. ** -- MP4VT2004 02/20/2018 7:57PM

I doubt you are going to find a glue strong enough -- Tafkam Hokie 02/20/2018 7:49PM

Unfortunately since it's a fire safe, no holes. -- MP4VT2004 02/20/2018 7:54PM

Well there's your problem. A fire safe is to protect it from fire -- Tafkam Hokie 02/20/2018 8:03PM

I access these regularly. -- MP4VT2004 02/20/2018 8:07PM
