Would this work in a gun vault to prevent Rusting?

It may put out a bit too much heat given the size of the interior of most gun vaults, unless yours is really large. There are smaller dehumidifiers made for gun vaults. Search for gun safe dehumidifier on Amazon.com and you will find quite a few designed for gun vaults.

It is hard to give a specific answer without knowing how large the vault is and whether it is insulated. In general I would say that if the area doesn't exceed 50 sq. ft., is insulated, and has a source of power (110 volts), it should provide sufficient heat to prevent oxidation on finished metal. I live in a coastal environment (5 minutes from the ocean) and this unit has eliminated a mold in a closet that does not have any ventilation and is not in the main part of our living space. While not technically a vault, the lack of air movement is similar.

Hey Rick, I assume it is a walk-in vault, this Dry Wave unit I have is good for up to 1000cf if you have power and fresh air intake I don't see why it would not work. Keep in mind that it does raise the ambient temp somewhat and runs constantly. Your call, if you try it I'd like to know if it works.

I don't think it would hold up very well if it got wet. I don't believe the lock and other metal trim is rust proof and the inside is lined with a felt like material which you would not want to get wet.

We used them in the storage compartment on our camper and they have worked great. There is no rust on them however, they are in a dry enclosed area.

I tried that with a file cabinet and my 9mm XD, and it slid down the side of the cabinet. Maybe if it was a stronger, thicker metal, and a lighter gun, perhaps it would hold, but its really made to be screwed onto something. Or if its holding horizontal rather thn vertical, maybe that would make a difference.

I use it to store 2 revolvers inside my gun safe. I do believe it was designed to transfer 1 or 2 handguns and magazinesto the range. It can be used for either. I have my own outside range ,so I use it strictly for storage. I really like it and highly recommend it. It is made well and looks very good. Buy it , you will like it.

Not really. I think the only way you could do that would be to put a hasp on both seat sections to the floor. For handguns, I bolted a small safe, through the bottom of the DU-HA and into the floor of my truck.

You would have to drill a hole in the side because a cable attached through a bottom hole would not allow the vault to sit stable which could become a problem in a moment of stress. You never want to be fumbling when needing to access a weapon (if that's what you are using it for). Not enough play once vault is set in place through bottom.

There is no great length to the item and if it will work depends on the angle of the vaulting. If it is very shallow, probably, but not if there is any normal angle to the vaulting.

No, I have a 10 gun safe and it will not stick on the inside of the safe. You might do well to glue some tin strips to the inside of the safe.

I don't believe they're designed for that. Although they are brass, moisture would get internal rusting.

Not an expert, but looking at it, it might resist rust for a time, but i think it would eventually rust. I think you need one of those solid core industrial types that could be painted over once signs of rust are noted. Sorry that's my best answer.

It would rust. It work great but unless you cover it or put it indoors it won't last long.

Not sure what a stack-on gun cabinet is, but if it has a horizontal shelf about an inch thick or less and room behind that shelf for the back of the gun to allow the door to close, it should work. The hangers are solid and completely coated with rubber or vinyl. Hope that helps, Dennis

No, it's design to mount on the back, right or left side, but not both. There is only one mounting plate available which is placed along the wall where you want it secured. The gun vault will fit in the brackets of the mounting plate and there are screws which you twist on from inside the vault. What I did was instead of mounting it into the drywall, I got a flat, 1 inch thick board and screwed it into the 2x4 stud behind the drywall, then screwed the mounting plate onto the wooden board to secure it better. Hope this helps.

Yes! You just pull it out of the rod, snake it through either way, and reinsert into the metal heat synch tube! Took me all of...hmmm...2 minutes. And it works great! I have 20 guns in my safe and all are high end...so I wanted to make sure they are dry! I als have each one in a browning gun sock. Best of luck!

It might work if you are trying to remove a small rust stain from a bobby pin or bbs. My recommendation is do not let acid sit very long on the vinyl. I purchased it to use in a plaster pool and it worked well.

The owner's manual specifically claims this safe is NOT to be used for guns and/or ammo. The only thing I can think is that under the heat conditions that the box is intended to withstand (internally), it could make your ordinance go off. And that could create a fire inside the box and/or the exploding ammo could destroy your electronics and/or documents. This is just a guess.
