Is there anyway to secure it the floor of the fireplace or is that not really necessary?

Not necessary, When it is attached to your gas line connector it stabilizes it and with the grate over it, we have had no problems .

Not a Fire safe. It does need a light so I bought a motion sensing little light and mounted it under the shelf. Love it. Wish the shelf was more stable, it sags when you have a lot of stuff on it.

Hmm, we didn't. What we did do was to go to hardware store and buy a little metal contraption with white plastic wheel to "anchor" the door to the baseboard right where meets the door jamb when the sliding door is open. We have cats that like to insert a forepaw under the sliding door when it's closed and pull so that the door lifts outward, then bangs back down, so we wanted to prevent them from doing that. But there's no floor guide. I don't remember whether the kit came with a floor guide, but my husband didn't use it (if it did), and we don't miss it.

I keep it off the floor myself, but as to whether it needs it? Maybe the air flow is better or something.

Hi Craig, I used a piece of wood for years and it worked fine. This does seem to offer better security (if you need it) and it is very convenient. It is mounted inn the center verses at floor which will give more security. No more bending over to get the wood and it laying by the door on the floor. I personally like it better than the wood. Have a nice day.

No, the floor that comes with it is very sturdy it just needs to be level and secure

No. this is really a flimsy item. You can even make this yourself. I was not satisfied even for the floor use.

If worried about temperature I don't have any problem at the floor level. If worried about the occasional "Pop" from a natural fire, maybe something like cement backer board used in construction to cover a patio deck, purchased at any home improvement store.

It is not designed to be secured down, but I do believe you could drill a hole and secure it. If you drilled a hole then it would not be waterproof nor fireproof.

I wouldn't use it too close to a fireplace. It is metal and will get hot to the touch.

I have mine above the fireplace. There shouldn't be any problem, as long as there are studs behind your walls to hang it. The other side of your wall should be metal (for the chimney), but you should still be able to hang it through the drywall into studs. Good luck!

You can also fold it under. My fireplace is a bit smaller and you just have to fold the ends. The placement of the magnets limits how much you can cut off the ends.

No it just needs to be on a somewhat level surface or on the ground. It has auto shut off if it tips over or gets bumped for fire saftey.

No. It just needs to be kept off the ground. But a concrete slab or a wood deck are good choices.

Depends...if you dont plan on using fire place, i would check temperatures above fireplace when lit, check with safety codes for placement of items above fire place and would check to make sure there are studs located abovefire place for mounting.

It is secured by elastic. On my fire pit I further secure it by tucking it under each leg.

This safe has open holes in the side so you can screw it to the wall, so I don't know how effective it would be to prevent fire from getting inside. I think this is just a safe, keep your valuable documents somewhere else, this thing is made to keep your AR-15 ready for a moments notice.
