I have a Mosler GSA safe and want to bolt it down.
The bottom of the safe is basically a stand that's welded to the rest of the safe. Like here: 
There are four feet that have threaded holes on the bottom for securing the safe, but they are turned inwards. Here's a quick model to show you what i mean. 
Since those are inaccessible when the safe is down I can't use them as is. I had thought about some steel plate 'feet' that come out and pickup floor anchors. My heart burn with that is then my four fastener heads out out in the open. Any other ideas? If I have to go that method I think I'll go with some of these secure nuts:

The drawer doesn't come out to access the holes?

Do you have a welder? Could just put some anchors in and tack the bolt on top.

Anchor the safe using something like these wedge anchors and after you tighten down the nut, use the welder to tack the nut to the anchor so it cannot be removed like this nut to keep anyone from removing it with a wrench. |

Ah, that makes sense. Solid idea.
