Thread: Advice on Installing a Gun Safe When Wall Nogs Don’t Align with Pre-Drilled Holes

As mentioned, make holes in the safe for the Nogs where you need them to be. As you are doint htis, put the bolts closer to the edge of the safe as it gives better resistance to getting the safe away from the wall for leverage.


Also if you have space inside the safe, put a piece of 3mm steel or anything similar across between the bolts on the inside (like awasher that goes right across the back ...) . That way if a scumbag tries to pry the safe off they wall, the safe may distort but it will be much much harder for the scrotum nuggets to gain access to the insides as the bolt heads will not pull through the holes.....
