Because your safe will release moisture to create an effective heat barrier should fire strike, articles susceptible to moisture damage require special care. Stamps, coins, photographs, etc. should be placed in a well sealed humidity resistant container, packet or heavy (boilproof) sealed plastic bag to prevent moisture damage.

Our safes are designed to have a slight amount of "Wiggle" in the door. The wiggle is due to the clearance between the bolt bars and the bolt holes. A small amount of wiggle is acceptable. If your safe has large amount of clearance, call the factory at 1-800-377-7736. We will provide a tool to fix this problem.

Our fire resistant safes are guarunteed to safeguard your valuables when exposed to a 1700 degree fire for one full hour. The outside of your safe, however, could be damaged. If the locking portion of your safe is damaged, call our customer service department for entry instructions.
The fire protective insulation in all fire resistive safes contains latent free moisture in crystal form which may cause a humid condition. Heat from a fire will cause the crystals to vaporize and provide an effective barrier against heat entry.

Sometimes the latent free moisture is noticeable as dampness in new equipment. We suggest allowing the safe door to remain open for several hours each day during the first week after purchase. Do not locate the safe in a damp area.

Operating insructions can be found on the following link: safe instructions
Open you safe and look on the back of your door. If there are 5 screws on the back of the door, remove the screw in the middle of the door and throw it away. You will no be able to turn your handle.
