Anchoring to a wall, in addition to the floor, further strengthens your
anchoring system. (Without wall anchors, the height of the safe allows it to
be used as a lever to pry against the floor anchors.)

1 Measure 2" from the top and each side of the safe’s top interior corners.
Mark these spots on the safe’s interior with a marker (Figure 3).
2 Using a sharp utility knife cut a 2" x 2" “X” in the carpet where you
marked. Tape the carpet flaps open using masking tape. Use a 2" wood
bit to drill though the fire-resistant insulation. Do not attempt to drill
through the steel safe body with the wood bit.
3 Use a
1
⁄2" high-speed bit designed for drilling metal to drill through the
steel safe wall. Once you have drilled though the fire-resistant material
and safe body, mark the center of your holes on the wall.
