Anyone care to share how they anchored their gun safe/RSC?
I have a sentry 16-gun safe with two holes for concrete anchors at the bottom. What is a good depth to drill into my slab? I assume it is at least 6-8" thick (1950's house), but I cannot tell. I have floor drains, under-floor plumbing if that helps determine a safe distance to drill. I do not believe any plumbing work is in the corner of my house where I want to locate the safe.
My concern is that the safe could tip and fall. I have two young kids and although I realize that anchoring the safe will not prevent a loss it may at least slow a criminal down.
I'm thinking 3/8" x 1 1/2 - 2" redhead sleeve anchors would do the trick. Thoughts?
