sorry, I don't have much experience with this. Sounds like Robert (below) knows more about it than I do. Judy

Depending upon the size of the safe, and how much is in it - - would need from one or two to possibly four or five...I don't know how often changed - - I do know that it's not needed very often. When you start noticing you will find little ones in medication bottles, slightly larger ones where needed -in a variety of places, and they are very easy care.

I have a 2ft^3 safe and use 5 of these packs every three months. If your safe came with packs, see how much they weigh and that would be the min amount to use. Change every 3 months or more if you ar in a humid area.

I would say you need more than one, I use 3 always sometimes 4 in high humidity times, I can't bring myself to use a plugin in my safe just don't feel comfortable but it might be a better solution for you.Thanks for the info on the hydrometer.

I would just buy two just to be safe. That's what I did. My house isn't very big at all but I wanted to make sure I got every inch

No. Apparently a VERY long time ago you could. The rumor still persists. You need the key or combination to open the little safe. These safes are a real bargain. If I needed another small safe I'd buy it again. - j.

I'm not sure. I bought it for a different safe and double velcroed it to the door. Sorry couldn't be more help.

Two keys come with the safe. They are "barrel" style so I don't know if you could get any more made at a typical hardware store. Storing photos - or disks with backups of digital photos are a good idea. I am not sure how they would survive the heat of an actual fire however. That would be a question for the makers of the safe.

motion detector works fantastic in my 24 gun safe mine is an ELITE STACK-ON if your safe is bigger I would get two made my safe look like it cost a lot more for those that don't know I did not screw in instead I used the Velcro that came with it. it also comes with screws. I just peeled and stuck on the ceiling of safe you cant even see it, but as soon as the door opens the light goes on don't forget batteries. good luck John

You can still change the battery & it won't hurt the safe.The batteries it's on the outside next to the number plate. Again Yes, It's another safety device. Without the batteries the safe can't be open.

I haven't had to change the batteries during the few months that I've had mine. However, the safe comes with a key to open the safe when the batteries require changing.

really depends on the safe. If it is a water proof safe then it will last a very long time due to the air sealing. If not then it depends on the humidity and how air tight the safe is. in a very humid climate it's lasts for about two weeks with constant exposure to air, so in a poorly sealed safe it will probably last about a month on the low side to maybe two.

I just use it in a small fire safe - 2 of them in approx. 4 cu. ft.. Seems to work fine.

yes, however, i believe on you use a number, you can't use it again. any safe is crackable, but this to me is one og the best options. wish it were a little deeper, but thats more the fault of building spec's than it is of the safe. higjly recommended..

I change mine all the time by hand - never had a problem. These have worked well for me.

I have a safe roughly of those very same dimensions and this works just fine (going on three years of use now absent any humidity issues whatsoever). Difference here is I am combating moisture buildup on metals and documents, not food. That said, if I had a situation like your's I would use them without hesitation.

Yes but you have to specify that. I think there is a place when ordering to request that. My 2 safes had same key and I did request they be the same. Unfortunately both safes were not functioning. Sent yet tech did trouble shoot. Replacement safes did not work either. Replaced those and then 1 of 2 worked. Send the inop one back for refund. Kept the one that worked.

The container I received was not much bigger than the actual safe. Add maybe an inch to inch and half to the safe size and that is what the container is. It has been about a year since I bought mine, so I may be off a little.

Some of that depends on geography and some on location at your home. If you live in Phoenix, I'd say one or none because the relative humidity there is low. If you're in a region with a lot of humidity then two might get the job done in a 22 gun safe. If you have electrical outlet in your safe, consider the Lockdown Dehumidifier -- I just got better results with them for about the same money. Ideally I think you want to stay somewhere between 40--55% and an inexpensive meter is an easy way to see where you are. To much moisture and to little moisture are both conditions that are potentially damaging to your guns.
