[QUOTE="( deleted account ), post: 152481, member: 5993"] Yep SDMF. Fireproofing depends on a lot of factors. My nephews home was caught in the fires in northern Alberta and the entire section of town was burned down. All the firefighters could do was to try to stop the widespread firestorm from spreading and could only let things burn with NO attempt to save any individual homes. The burning house collapsed into the basement on his gunsafe and cooked it for several weeks! A month later when uncovered it was still hot to the touch! Hardly a fair test of fire resistance! LOL But quite an impressive meltdown picture of what was left! Thank God some bright guy somewhere thought up the concept of insurance! I use a goldenrod and havent had rust problems, even in my slightly damp basement. I had to drill a hole in the rear of one safe to pass the electrical cord. Had my dial lock lock quit working and despite factory phone help and a local locksmith we couldn’t open it. I took the dial lock off, about an hours tinkering, junked it and replaced it with a push button electronic one the factory sent me. No problems since, but nothing is foolproof. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Where do you get enough silica gel to help dehumidify a safe? And do you ever periodically put it in a warm oven overnite to drive off the absorbed moisture? Everythung nowadays seems to have little packs of silica gel included but I always thought it would take a lot of them to help much. [/QUOTE]
