Liberty Safe - Anchoring and Maintaining Your Safe; Anchoring Your Safe

Owner Use and Care Manual
ANCHORING YOUR SAFE
To achieve the highest level of security and safety possible, anchor your safe securely
to the floor. We recommend placing a protective barrier (such as a piece of carpet,
treated wood or rubber mat) between the safe and floor to prevent scratching of the safe
surface, which could lead to rust. Before anchoring safe, make sure the safe is level. Use
redwood door shims to adjust safe level so the door has the desired swing. Use
appropriate hardware for the wood or cement surface you are anchoring to. Anchoring
kits with instructions are available from your dealer. Most safes are UL Listed as
Residential Security Containers (RSC). This security advantage is enhanced when the
safe is bolted to the floor, reducing the risk of the safe being removed.
DOOR ADJUSTMENT
Most safe models have
two door adjustors for
tightening or loosening the
door. These adjustors are
located just inside the left
side of the safes doorjamb.
After removing the
shipping protectors, close
the door and extend the
bolts. Pull out on the door
handle to feel the
tightness. If there is play in
the door, you will need to adjust the slide. Using the supplied hex wrench, loosen the two
(2) door adjuster mounting screws. Slide the adjuster up to loosen the door, down to
tighten. Re-tighten screws and check door again forft!. When properly adjusted, you
should feel slight resistance when extending the door bolts. Only slight movement should
be felt with the door shut. Caution: Do not adjust door too tight. This may cause
wear on both the door pins and locking mechanism. If your door has a tendency
to self-open (the bolts retract by themselves), the door adjusters may be too tight.
USING & MAINTAINING YOUR SAFE
LOADING YOUR SAFE
When putting guns into your safe, make sure they rest securely against the cutouts
provided to prevent accidental tipping when the door is closed.
Store documents and ammunition in the bottom of the safe for greatest protection
against fire damage.
If you are storing electronic media, use a Media Cooler to provide additional
protection (See your local dealer or visit www.libertysafe.com.
Do not put anything in your safe that will put pressure against the door when it is
closed.
