Nice set-up! Thanks for posting.
I added foam style weather stripping to the perimeter of the doors to provide a better seal. I have't added the goldenrods to my safes yet so I use the Eva-drt units that you plug in to recharge. I use 2 per safe so I have 12 units. This makes it easy to swap out.
The six "wet" ones I plug in to dry and when they are done, I put them in a .50 cal. steel GI ammo can. If you do this, make sure the lid has a good gasket/seal. As the warm Eva-dry units cool, the can creates a partial vacuum to really form a tight, air-proof seal. You'll know it's a good seal the next time you try to open the can! When it's time to swap units, I take them out of the can and switch them. I do this about every 3-4 weeks as I live in a very humid area. My routine keeps my safes at about 40-50% RH.
Cheers and keep e'm in the X ring!

I love living out in the desert it’s so dry we don’t even need dehumidifiers in our safes. I have guns been sitting in a safe over 10 years and are still perfect. 👍🏼 I need to upgrade mine with a nerf gun I have a tub full of them in the garage lol… nice video man.

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

One overlooked benefit of desert living lol and yes you need to keep those nerf guns locked up

I live in Utah and have had 2 full gun safes for around 20 years. I put a decent dessicant pack in mine when they were brand new... The same packs are still there and have no signs of needing recharge any time soon..

I didn’t realize all these add ons were options. Thanks for the information Frank!

Having a safe in the garage is not a good idea. Someone can just put a chain on it and pull it out or just load it into a truck if they gain access to your garage

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts

[@Zkgod24]

I was thinking the same thing

[@AmandaYeakel]

Great information. Have you thought about trying rifle rods?

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

Yes I definitely have but I just haven’t gotten around to it yet !! Do you recommend them ?

[@AmandaYeakel]

@@FrankChristopherOutdoors used them to help make over my grandpa's safe. We were able to get more guns in his safe and they are easy for him to use.

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

@@AmandaYeakel good deal I will get them one day to try them out. Thanks for sharing your experience

60% humidity is relatively high. To protect woods you want it no lower than 45% and no higher than 55%. That’s for protecting wood made instruments like guitars that NEED humidity. I’d think you’d want a gun safe to be dry… not 50% +. What’s the recommended humidity level?

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

You're right! NRA suggests 30-50% humidity.

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

I think I meant to say usually less than 50%. My safe is usually 48-49% . I had it open for a while when I was filming some videos.

[@taunupe86]

I looked at the amazon light kit with the link you provided. However, the kit only has a manual on/off switch and I didn't see the "eye" that is shown in your video. Was that extra and do it make the lights turn on automatically when the door is opened?

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

TORCHSTAR LED Safe Lighting Kit, (6) 12 Inch Linkable Light Bars + Motion Sensor + UL Power Adapter, 900LM, Input 100-240V, for Under Cabinet Gun Safe Locker Closet Showcase, 5000K Daylight a.co/d/1TgklWU

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

Looks like I put the wrong light kit link in there - here is the correct one ….
Thanks for pointing that out and thanks for watching!

[@davidtimmermann7226]

Most of that stuff you have in there can be put in a separate locking cabinet, then you have room for more guns😊

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

@@davidtimmermann7226 that good sir is an excellent point. Thanks for the idea

[@SL1CK1307]

Good info thanx man!

[@dexteranthony2556]

Good guidance, how is that heating rod working now any issues?

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

@@dexteranthony2556 still works great, no issues

[@MrSenorBenz]

What extension did you buy to fit that small hole in the safe?

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

There’s a link in the description for it. It’s an outlet for safes

[@matthellcat2494]

Bro you get that humidity to low your wood stocks gonna suffer

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

The humidity in my safe is usually like 50% or so which is on the high side actually

[@el_andrew_]

Nice safe.

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

Thanks

[@stevevinas]

Is the heater running all the time gonna Jack up the bill

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

Not really it’s worth it ! Thanks for watching

[@dakota7016]

Worth it if it’s keeping your guns from rusting

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

@@dakota7016 definitely !

[@PunishersAngel]

How did you get power?

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

@@PunishersAngel ran it in the back of the safe with a low profile cabled outlet
