Recommendations for placement include closets, offices, basements, or bedrooms, out of direct sight.
- Securing the Safe: Provides detailed instructions for bolting the safe to a concrete surface using provided hardware.

It suggests storing heavier items on the floor or away from the middle of shelves and ensuring guns rest securely in the gun racks to prevent tipping.
Maintenance Features:
