How to Install a Gun Vault Steel Security Cable
A security cable adds an additional level of security for the items stored in a Gun Vault safe. The security cable loops around a stationary object mounted in your home and connects to the back of the Gun Vault. To make the security cable installation easier, Gun Vaults have a knock-out that provides a secure connecting point between the end of the cable and the gun safe. The knock-out's location provides the securest connection point for the security cable.
