USE AND MAINTENANCE
24 LOADING YOUR SAFE
1. When loading guns into your safe, make sure they rest securely against the
cutouts provided in the gun racks to prevent accidental tipping when the door
is closed.
2. Store documents or heat sensitive items in the bottom of the safe for greatest
protection against fire damage.
3. Store ammunition separately from valuables.
4. Do not put anything in your safe that will put pressure against the door when it
is closed.
5. Select safe models have reinforced shelving but as a good safety precaution
store heavier items either on the floor of the safe or away from the middle of
the shelves.
25 KEEPING SAFE DRY
We recommend placing a moisture/protective barrier between your safe and
concrete floor to prevent any moisture, mildew and rust damage the safe.
Installing your safe in a place with climate control (heat in the winter and cooling in
the summer) is highly recommended. In areas of high humidity or frequent
temperature fluctuations (garages) it is recommend to take appropriate
precautions to ward against moisture damage. We strongly encourage the use an
internal dehumidifier and/or desiccants to protect your contents from rust or
mildew. Internal dehumidifiers should not be in direct contact with the side or back
walls.
26 HINGES AND INTERNAL MECHANISM
The hinges and internal locking mechanism are permanently lubricated, thus
needing no maintenance. Opening the door panel of your safe may void your
warranty. Always consult our customer service experts prior to doing so.
