So I just bought my first safe

What kind of lock? Dial or Digital ?

I got a digital lock after weighing the pros and cons of each.

Bass Pro has silica boxes and lights. I use a silica box and put in battery powered lights that have adhesive backs in my safe.

They have a silica dryer thingy that plugs in to "charge" or probably dry out the silica and has a led indicator that lets u know when to plug in again. .

I've got one^^^^^^^^^ made by Remington and like it. Plus I buy the disposable silica packs also.

I'll tell you what, a gunsafe is money well spent! If it aint on me, it's in the safe!

My Ft. Knox has both digital and dial. It's a redundant system. Can use either independently. Digital for ease of use and dial for after RedDog's EMP hits.

Mine is set on plastic shims. Wood seems like a horrible idea.

A thin rubber mat. Don't want the metal in contact with the concrete. A thick washer, if you want air space, but 1/4" is a bit excessive. IMHO
The red head anchors are worth their weight in gold. Only thing better is knowing where to put bolts when pouring the slab and having them permanently set. Of course, if you change safes, the bolts may not be set right.

I have used one of these for about six years. Plug into outlet and recharge.
