Moving Your Safe; Placement Of Safe - Honeywell 2510 User Manual

MOVING YOUR SAFE

Before moving your safe, verify the load bearing weight of the floors and stairs,
and types of flooring the safe will be moved over (tile, wood, and other flooring
can be damaged by the weight of the safe).

PLACEMENT OF SAFE

Proper installation and anchoring are critical to the security of your safe. Install
near a load-bearing wall to support the weight of the safe. To help protect the
exterior finish of your safe, install inside in a dry location where there is climate
control (heat in the winter and cooling in the summer). This safe has been de-
signed to withstand a certain amount of heat during a fire. Generally speaking,
fire safes perform better in lower levels of a home (like the basement) where fire
temperatures are lower. Additionally, placement of your safe away from potential
hot spots (areas where flammable materials are stored) will improve your
chances that your safe and its contents will perform better in a home fire. No
safe is completely fireproof. If the fire reaches a high enough temperature for
long periods, fire damage will occur.
