I have a liberty national classic. It’s always been in the house. But at my new place, the floor will not allow a 1600 pound safe to be placed on it. So it has to be in the garage bolted to the floor. Anyways, it is very cold out there. I have a PEET air dryer and a golden rod and the pic below is what the air quality is inside. I’m thinking of putting up a 40 watt incadencent light bulb to warm things up. Any other ideas?

A small airspace under the safe is HIGHLY recommended.
A 40 watt bulb sure would not hurt anything.

Honest opinion, call Northwest Safe or Liberty and ask them. Are you more concerned about the temperature or the humidity? Is your garage humid? Perhaps you're safer dehumidify the garage.

There will be no attempt to do anything with the garage. It’s a rental and basically a metal pole building with no insulation. I have power which is a plus. I’ll call NW safe tomorrow.

Can you "wall off" a corner of the garage and keep a small heater in it?
My shop isn't heated. I need to paint anything in the winter I build a booth with plastic along one side and throw a small heater in it.

Off floor, air gap with small PC fan or two. Outside
Golden rod or two, and the Peet. You should be GTG to keep temp above condensation. Inside.
Also I believe in proper oiling and vapor phase rust preventers. VCI vapor corrosion inhibitors
