Here is an idea for your consideration if your safe is narrow enough to be moved through a doorway. Have four 9/16" (or whatever size you want) holes drilled in the bottom of your safe. Get three 3/4" sheets of plywood cut into square greater than the width of the doorway in which the safe is located. Put the safe on top of the three sheets of plywood stacked together. Drill screw holes into the wood at each corner through the holes in the bottom of the safe. Now bolt the safe down on the plywood sheets using screws, e.g., 1/2" x 2". To make it better screw sheet metal down on top of the exposed plywood. I think this would slow a thief as well.
