FIRE SEAL
The black plastic strip attached to the edge of your safe door or frame is a
fire seal that expands to seal the door when heated by a fire. If you reside in
an area with high humidity, you will not want your door to close tightly
against this seal. Air must circulate through your safe or condensation will
form on your firearms causing rust. Loosen the door just enough to allow
some exchange of air. An electric dehumidifier is highly recommended if
your average daily relative humidity is above 20 percent.
HINGES
Your door height is adjusted at the factory and should not require
any adjustment when new. However, hinge adjustment bolts are
lo
cated on the bottom of each hinge to allow you to make
adjustments over time (Figure 6). This allows you to raise and lower
the door slightly as needed. Rotating the Allen bolt counterclockwise
(looking down at the hinge) raises the door on its hinges. Both Allen
bolts (top and bottom hinges) should be turned the same amount
when adjusting the door. (Not applicable on Compact and Fine Art
Series safes.)
