Hi guys, in the next few weeks I'll be starting construction on my new house. I'll have 2 24 gun safes and I want to secure them to the concrete floor. We are doing scored and stained concrete so there is no issue with wood, tile, carpet, etc there. This will be a post tension slab, so it'll have cables under high stress running through the concrete. The drawings do have the cable locations, and I will be able to take pics and measurements as the concrete is poured over them. Even with all this data I'm still going to be leery of drilling into the slab with a Hilti drill for anchor bolts. Is anyone aware of any epoxy resins or like products to secure steel safes to a concrete slab?
Thanks for any help/experience.

How is that silly?With all due respect; don't glue your safe to the floor. That's just silly.

Word to the wise if you have something with enough value and someone wants it bad enough nothing will stop them from getting it. The main reason to bolt safes down is so they cannot get pushed over and pried open with more leverage or strapped to a dolly and rolled out. My safe weighs between 900-1200lbs with guns in it and I can move it myself I am 5'9 210 and 27yrs old now imagine 2 or 3 of me with a skillsaw to cut walls and a dolly or a few pry bars and 15 minutes of free time. I personally bolt mine down just because if I can move it easily I know a few guys can move it easier
Epoxpies are used in construction; even for load bearing beams. "Glueing" it to the floor would work perfect; as long as you NEVER wanted to move your safe again.
