spartan7510 Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Appreciate some advise, just moved home. Usually I anchor my safe to concrete wall with rawlbolts without issues. However in the new house the outside walls are brick (assume single course) followed by cavity and what appears to be a soft ash type breeze block and then the dry-walling on the inside. Anchor bolts would rip the breeze block to pieces (I can drill into it with wood hole saw). Trying to extend past the drywall, breeze block to the outside brick wall would require extensive drilling and Im not comfortable with this option.I assume the breeze block is considered to be fabric of the building. What can be used to secure the safe to breeze block?Butterfly bolts?Or would this work?: https://www.toolstation.com/lightning-masonry-bolt/p13548 Be grateful some tips here.

Triffid Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Use a resin fixing alongside threaded studs. https://www.screwfix.com/c/screws-nails-fixings/resin-fixings/cat840022 Triffid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I has a similar problem with mounting a heavy cooker hood - resin bolts worked a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will slow down the going off period , especially in these temperatures. Trust me it goes off mighty fast whilst you have you're head in the safe 😂 Gluv🇬🇧 sounds like hard won experience Gluv - did you have a mare ? 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ergid Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Can you bolt it to the floor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB66 Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 I asked this of my FEO here in Herts and was told yes bolt into the floor if on the ground floor or coach bolts into beams but still need resin into the wall. My B In Law is a builder and I wondered why he was sticking this stuff in my fridge. Gluv you have my sympathies on that. FB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
