Exactly, and is the exact reason why I have one bolted to the floor of my master bedroom closet. To that end-and Husker's definition-it works well enough.

The baseplate is what gets bolted down as a seperate unit to the safe portion. Then, smaller...hardened steel "spreading bolts" (for lack of a better term) on the baseplate poke up through holes the safe and it's locked down from the inside. These aren't terribly stout using thier size as a visual indicator, but it does work anyway and seems relatively secure. (The good thing here is that one could replace these and put in some "real" bolts/stouter hardware easily enough if you wanted to. I have not.)

It's does exactly what I need it to do and I do not regret the purchase FWIW.
