A safe is normally placed on the floor and anchored. In some cases, however, it is possible to suspend a safe on a wall, in other words to fix it at height without any support from the floor. This requires a sufficiently strong load-bearing wall or a suitable concrete wall, together with fixings capable of supporting both the weight of the safe and the forces involved in a possible pull-out attempt. Depending on the situation, an additional support or mounting structure may also be required. If the safe is too heavy or the wall is not strong enough, installation on a plinth is often the better solution.
