Home fireproof safe that is secured to the floor or wall?
I would like to buy a medium size fireproof floor safe (like those at Office Depot), but all I have available to place it on is a carpeted concrete slab. My fear is that if it is not firmly secured, someone with a hand dolly could remove it in minutes.
Is there a way to secure a safe to a concrete floor or to wood studs on the wall where it sits so it can’t be easily removed?
Many security safes come with holes through the bottom from the inside, that you can secure it to the floor with. I myself have a medium size “SentrySafe” that I picked up from either Home Depot or Lowes (I can’t remember), which has the mounting holes. The instructions for the safes also provide information on mounting them by bolt.
In order to secure it, you’ll need to drill into the floor. In order to drill into the concrete, you’ll need a hammer drill, but you can rent them from most hardware stores (such as Home Depot).
You’ll want to use masonry anchors to bolt into (see link below on how to install.) Between the weight of the safe and the bolts, it should make it much more difficult to walk away with. Nothing’s perfect, but no one will be able to easily cart it off.
I could be wrong, but it seems to me that that if you were to pour concrete around it:
1) Cutting out a hole bigger than the safe itself would be a huge amount of work, most likely overkill for what you want.
2) Most safes have smooth sides, give it a good swift kick in the side, and it would slide easily out of its concrete “mold”. “Scarifying” the sides might make it less smooth so that it would have more grip against the concrete, but also sounds like a huge amount of work.
3) Pouring the concrete around the safe would bury the safe past the door’s opening clearance. The clearance between the door and the bottom of the safe is typically less than 2 inches, not much to bury it in.
Finally, using a method to secure the safe in a manner not suggested by the manufacturer, may void all warranty. You really don’t want to do this, since the warranty may cover a certain amount of the worth of the contents.

Fireproof File Cabinets
If you’re concerned about protecting personal information and important documents, you’re probably already considering purchasing a fireproof file cabinet in the event of a large blaze. Thousands of homes and businesses are affected every year by fire, smoke, and water damage and choosing the right fireproof file cabinet is the first step in protecting what matters most to your home office or business.
A good fireproof safe or fireproof cabinet will often come in a variety of options including vertical fireproof filing cabinets, lateral fireproof file cabinets and side tab / end tab fireproof cabinets. Here’s a breakdown of each.
Vertical fireproof file cabinets are the most popular. They are vertical in size and offer front to back filing.
Lateral fireproof file cabinets will typically handle letter & legal size documents have various widths. They offer many of the same features as vertical file cabinets, but give you the option of side to side filing.
Side Tab / End Tab Fire Proof Cabinets are a type of file cabinet that allows files to be exposed on one end when the drawer is open. End tab filing is most common in medical, dental, veterinary, and government offices. End tab filing cabinets often resemble bookshelves and typically require about half of the floor space compared to traditional cabinets.
Also, many fireproof filing cabinets are water, smoke, and impact resistant. Consider the fact that various types of media are vulnerable to smoke and water damage so consider ordering a fireproof filing cabinet with enough space to store those backup tapes, DVD’s, and CD’s.
An additional point to consider when you purchase a fireproof file cabinet is the various types of locking mechanisms that can vary from combination dial locks, keys, or electronic keypads. Be sure to choose lock style that fits your home office or business security needs.
Not all fireproof filing cabinets are created equally. Make sure you go with a popular brand like FireKing or Schwab which offer high customer satisfaction ratings and peace of mind with lifetime product warranties and replacement cabinets in the event of a disaster.
