Yeah totally. This goes beyond legal. But I rent out my basement suite, and even though I've always had good tenants I can never be sure of who may visit. Also my house is often full of neighbourhood kids, no heavy safe required but I sleep better.Quote:

A good mechanical lock will last 100 years. He definitely recommended bolting it to the floor.
