Accessory | Floor Anchoring Kit (Concrete + Wood)
Anchoring your safe to the floor is one of the most effective steps you can take to limit what a burglar can do with it. Both kits use the pre-drilled holes already in your Liberty safe's floor, so no custom drilling through the safe body is required. Choose the concrete kit for slab floors and basement installs, or the wood kit for wood subfloor and platform installs.
Each kit includes four anchor bolts sized for its floor type, a drill bit, and everything needed to complete the install. A standard drill handles the wood kit. The concrete kit requires a hammer drill, which most hardware stores rent by the day if you don't own one.

Which Kit Is Right for Your Floor
Concrete Floor Kit

Expansion anchor bolts lock into concrete as they're tightened. Use this kit for basement floors, garage slabs, and any home built on a concrete slab.
Tools required (not included):
Hammer drill, 1/2" socket set, shop vacuum, hammer
Wood Floor Kit
P/N 17671 | $14.00
Lag bolts and washers thread into wood subfloor or framing. Use this kit for above-grade rooms, wood-frame construction, and any install where the safe sits on plywood or solid wood.

Standard drill or drill-driver, 9/16" socket set, shop vacuum
Works With
Compatibility
Both kits anchor through pre-drilled holes in your Liberty safe's floor panel. Most Liberty gun safes and home safes include these holes from the factory. To verify, open your safe door, remove the floor panel, and look for small covered openings near the corners of the floor.
Gun cabinets and some compact home safes may not have pre-drilled anchor holes. If you don't find covered holes in the floor after removing the panel, reach out before ordering.
Installation
Position the safe in its final location before you start. Moving a bolted-down safe later means removing all four bolts and patching the floor holes. Both kits follow the same basic sequence: access the floor holes, drill, vacuum, set bolts, replace panels.
Concrete Kit
- Open the safe door. Remove floor caps to expose the anchor holes under the floor panel.
- Using a hammer drill with the included 3/8" concrete bit, drill 4 holes approximately 3" deep at each anchoring location.
- Vacuum drilling debris thoroughly from each hole.
- Hammer the anchor bolts into the holes and tighten with a 1/2" socket set.
- Replace floor caps and floor panels.
Wood Kit
- Open the safe door. Remove floor caps to expose the anchor holes under the floor panel.
- Using a standard drill with the included 1/4" wood bit, drill 4 pilot holes approximately 2.5" to 3" deep at each anchoring location.
- Vacuum debris from each hole.
- Place a washer on each lag bolt and drive into the pilot holes using a 9/16" socket wrench or drill. Tighten to snug; do not overtorque.
- Replace floor caps and floor panels.
Concrete kit: a hammer drill is required. A standard drill-driver will not penetrate concrete. Hammer drills are available to rent at most hardware stores if you don't own one.
Concrete drill bit: Some buyers have found the included bit varies in quality. Some buyers have found the included bit varies in quality. If you have a quality 3/8" masonry bit on hand, use it. The difference in drilling time on hard concrete can be significant. Wood kit: tighten lag bolts to snug. Overtightening can snap the bolt in a pre-drilled hole.

Common Questions
Do I need a hammer drill for both kits?
Only the concrete kit requires a hammer drill. The wood kit works with a standard drill or drill-driver. If you're not sure which floor type you have, probe the install area with a nail: concrete will resist, wood will accept it cleanly.
Will these kits work with my Liberty safe?
Most Liberty gun safes and home safes include pre-drilled floor holes from the factory. To confirm, open the door, remove the floor panel, and check for small covered openings near the corners of the floor. Gun cabinets and some compact models may not include these holes. If you're unsure, reach out before ordering.
My concrete floor has carpet or vinyl on top. Which kit should I use?
Use the concrete kit. Surface coverings don't change the anchoring method. The drill bit passes through carpet, vinyl, or thin flooring before reaching the concrete substrate below.
Can I use the concrete kit on a wood floor, or vice versa?
No. Concrete expansion bolts require a solid substrate to expand against. Wood lag bolts need wood grain to grip. Using the wrong kit for the floor type will produce an insecure anchor that won't hold as intended.
Do I need to be inside the safe to install it?
Yes. Both kits route through holes in the safe floor that are only accessible from inside with the door open. Position the safe in its final location before you start, and confirm the door opens freely with enough wall clearance before you bolt it down.
