| I have been reading up on different ways to bolt in my safe and I have one major question that I cannot seem to find an answer to: What bolts should I use to bolt it down if I ever wanted to move it from its current location? |
I use 1/2" drop in anchors. You drill your holes then drop in the anchor. You use a set tool (punch) to expand the anchor and wedge it in place. It's threaded so you just use bolts to hold down the safe. I use grade 8 bolts. The red head ones are available at Home Depot but they do not always have the set tool. If you ever need to move it you just unbolt it and move it, leaving the anchor recessed in the floor.  |

I have had the best luck with the Rawl Wedge Bolt. Super easy to install, no silly tools needed. Here's the specs. The 410 Stainless blue tip is available at Ace Hardware.
