INSTALLING YOUR SAFE
NOTE: To install the safe, it will be necessary to cut a hole into the floorboards, which
must be located between two joists. Great care must be exercised to ensure
there are no cables or pipes at the installation point, which could be
damaged when drilling or sawing through the floorboards.
When locating the safe, and BEFORE
cutting floorboards, ensure the
measurement from the top surface of the
floorboard to the floor below is at least
135mm, see Fig.1. This is to ensure the safe
does not bottom out when fitted.
Once the location has been determined
proceed as follows.
1. Mark the hole position, the dimensions
being 390mm x 210mm (see Fig.2).
2. Using a suitably sized drill bit, drill a
hole in each corner of the marked
hole to enable a jig saw blade to pass
through.
3. Using the jigsaw, carefully cut out the
hole, finishing off by sandpapering all
rough edges.
NOTE: Generally, floor joists are 16”
(405mm) apart. The safe box is
336mm in length (see Fig.1). It is
necessary therefore to attach
battens to the joists as shown in
Fig.3, in order for the safe to be
properly secured.
4. Measure the distance between the
joists, then deduct 336mm from that
measurement. Divide the result by 2 to
determine the thickness of the
battens.
5. Ensure the battens are of sufficient size to fully support the safe, then secure them to
the joists using four suitably sized wood screws.
6. Lower the safe into the space between the battens, and ensuring the top face is
flush with the floorboards, secure it to the battens using the fixing screws supplied.
