I currently have a Granite Security 24 gun safe. So today i had the great idea of installing a dehumidifier in my gun safe at home. Job went off without a hitch and the dehumidifier was working great. Success right?? well it didn't reopen when i went back to it today. I have had it for about a year now so when the lock didn't disengage I assumed it was the battery right.....WRONG!!!! I swapped it out with an energizer which is what the manufacturer recommends and still nothing. So after i managed to finagle the thing open by placing pressure on the handle(Something I have never had to do), i pulled the panel off and nothing looked out of place. Well moral of the story is that i installed the dehumidifier right under the door which is where i thought it would be good and when the locking bolt went down, it placed some tension on the bolt and would not unlock without pressure on the handle.
hour later and 6 batteries, the safe is fixed. Just so you all know and can laugh at my misfortune, don't install a dehumidifier under the door and make sure the bolts are clear. I have been sweating bullets for the last hour until it was fixed.
