Mule; That depends where it's placed in the home & what size the unit is. Or, think of this; A large fridge usually supports itself on two little adjustable feet & two rather small rollers. Figure maybe six square inches (and I'm being generous, it's probably closer to four) bearing several hundred pounds. What's the floor loading per square foot? A typical safe I sell may weigh 1500 lbs loaded with yer goodies, but being flush on the floor spreads that weight over 728 sq inches. Locate the floor joists, place the safe on an outside wall on three joists & I've never been told of a problem. Put it on an inside non-load-bearing wall over one joist & you'd better figure on placing a support pillar under it or you're gonna likely have an "adventure". 900F |
