Hi Guys,
I've read posts in the past about bolting safes to the floor. I would like to bolt my safe down to my concrete basement floor with 3/8" x 2 1/4" Red Head concrete sleeved anchor bolts. I plan on drilling the 3/8" holes about 2 1/2" deep so if I move, I can hammer the bolts flush and fill the holes.
I've never drilled concrete before. Do I have to use a hammer drill? How big does it have to be? Also, are standard masonry bits ok? Lastly, any practical tips on how to drill the holes as I've never done this before? Will a smaller pilot hole first help?
Thanks in advance.
