Installation Procedure (Model 2054F):

1. Choose a location accessible from above and below.
2. Position the mounting template and mark the four corners.
3. Drill holes through the guide marks.
4. Verify the holes align with the pre-drilled holes in the safe bottom.
5. Install the break-off bolts and washers from underneath the mounting surface into the safe.
6. Turn bolts until the screw heads break off.

Important: Do not drill into the feet, bottom, or any other part of the safe, as this will eliminate fire protection and invalidate warranties.
