I remember reading about & seeing pics of what happened inside a fireproof safe. The short version is the moisture content in the sheet rock panels that supposedly make it "fireproof"created high speed oxidation on the blued steel contents.
Academy sells a gauge that shows the current humidity as well as the recommended percentage.Ah, ok.
Mine seems to fluctuate between 55-65%, but I never knew what was good, lol.
Depending on your budget, I would find a local safe dealer. I'm not knocking the safes from Academy......
And....I'll be a parrot. Bolt it to the foundation!
................I was showing my wife the procedure but she did it her way & ended up spinning the dial. Crap, haven't needed the combination in years. I call Canon & they couldn't have cared less, told me to find a local locksmith that could open safes. That aside I like the safe
They generally recommend 50%.
Golden Rods, desiccates, or even a good old fashioned light bulb burning in there will get the humidity down.How does one get it to that point?
I've tried several different methods.

My safe is in my closet off my bathroom so the second rod was necessary.Maybe I need to add a larger, or second Golden Rod then.
I've tried dessicants before as well.

I guess you never leave the garage door open for long.
Actually, I meant because you have a dehumidifier running, lol.Nope. Its also behind a stand up freezer so blocked from casual view. Definitely not the best. No windows on the door either.
