Gun Safe in Garage

[M_Sloan]

Does anyone have their safe in the garage? I bought one and that's really the only place I can put it. Will Texas heat warp my wood stocks and affect ammunition in the summer time?

Not my choice, but a lot of shooters do it.

Mine is in my garage, no problems at all.

No problem in the garage. But I use descant and a heat rod and nothing has warped or rusted in a couple years

I would never put mine in the garage for multiple reasons.

Mine has been in the garage for years.
Get a slight oversized Golden Rod and you'll be fine. Never have had an issue. Even with guns that are 100 years old in it.

I had mine out in the garage for a year or so then decided to move it upstairs to make room in my little hunting closet outside. I didn't notice any problems at all, but my garage doesn't get TOO hot, it's kind of insulated.

It will work but be sure to bolt it to the concrete the best you can. There's no use in having a safe when someone can hook a truck and chain up to it and drag it down the road. Talked to multiple LEOs who say that is by far the most common thing they see when dealing with stolen gun safes.

Did it for years no problems. Bolt it to the floor and build a box around it to make it look like a cabinet from the street when the garage door is open.

This is a must.

I haven't had an issue at all since I got the heat rod. Without the heat rod, I had problems. Mine is anchored to the slab so, it will take a direct hit from a large bomb to dislodge it.

You can only do so much if you are not home. I have buddies with gun safes in the house and grinders and cutting torches in the garage.

I have had zero issues. I do agree with concealing the safe from passerby's.

How do get the electrical power supply to heat rod in the safe ?

I have mine in the garage witha acoupe dessicant cans. Been 2 years no problem. It wasnt the ideal choice but with this house it was the only place I could get it. Thinkong about putting it in the bedroom at our new hoise and building a wood surround for it.
