How to Mount a Gun Safe

Rather than hanging a gun safe on the wall, they are installed on the floor. Many gun safes are manufactured with the holes pre-drilled to facilitate the installation.

Instructions

    • 1

      Position your safe in a secure corner to minimize access to the sides and rear of the safe, where the steel is generally thinner than the door.

    • 2

      Avoid areas where you store your power tools, paint cans, lumber or other combustible materials.

    • 3

      Put a heavy washer on each of the bolts to keep a small amount of space between the head of the bolt and the steel of the gun safe.

    • 4

      Screw the lag bolts into the wall studs behind the gun safe with the drill. You should put a lag bolt in each corner and two in the middle section of the back of the gun safe.
