Gun safe in garage

[Virgil]

I need some advice.  I have a gun safe in my bedroom closet that only holds 10 guns (Ive got about 20 crammed in there) and I'm looking to buy another one.  If I do I'm seriously thinking about putting it in my garage because that's where I store all my hunting clothes and gear..  My main concern is moisture.  I've seen the moisture prohibitors you can put in safes but do they really work?

Mine does fine in the garage.

I've had one in my garage for 15 years and its okay.

I take no moisture problems for either of you?

I put my safe in my dads garage in SW AR for three years while I was in Germany.  I oiled and greased everything well before putting them in and all were fine three years later.  As long as your garage is dry it shouldn't be a problem.  Just clean and oil everything every 6 months or so.

If you have any fear of moisture, my son uses one of these in his safe and has a washing machine in his garage and things are fine with his also.

That's what I use in my safe in the garage too.  I have had it in the garage for about a year now and haven't had any major complaints yet.  It isn't optimal I don't think, but it was a battle I lost with the wife.

Does she make you keep your heads in the garage too?

This was more a case of how much the wood floors cost in the house.  It was a sneaky way to get me.  The gun safe had been in the living room for a long time on carpet.  Then we moved, built a new house, put in nice wood floors, and she got me on the "We don't want to mess up the floors moving it in to the house and then setting it on the new wood..."

They are fine in a garage unless your in a swamp or on the coast.
