I have a sturdy safe (TL15) which I'm ready to install permanently.
It will be affixed to concrete on the bottom and one side, and to filled block on another side. The walls of the safe are ~3" thick steel-concrete-steel. I would like to put at least one (pref 2) anchor through each of the 3 mounting surfaces.
-How does one best drill through the safe floor and walls? Does each hole destroy the bit?
-Any recommendations on a fastener schedule? I anticipate using one or two 1/2" bolts and expansion anchors on each surface, either centered (if one-per-side) or on diagonals (if two/side). The safe weighs 600#
-I am aware of and accept the possibility of compromising the fire rating by introducing heat-conductive bolts through the insulative concrete.
Also, what lubricant should I use on the combination mechanism? I've had this safe for some time awaiting installation, and the dial isn't as silky smooth as it once was.
Thank you all for any advice you can offer.
