This thread is useless without pics! And an address...and a combination.

My safe is in the garage also (since 2004). I have a goldenrod in it. Cold has not hurt my guns any. I placed some 1/4 strips of oak under the safe to keep the safe off the floor.

I would go for the pics. Then a geographic location for the humidity / security in the garage questions.

Only 400 lbs and some lags?
If in the garage, my guess is a logging chain (or two) and a full sized 4wd truck would leave skid marks out the garage and down the driveway. That's what they are doing around here with ATMs both inside and outside businesses.

Mine too is in the garage. No problems with proper dehumidifier. Set mine up on wood too.

Bolt it down. Use gun socks and a golden rod or desiccant.
