I purchased this safe 2 years ago and chose to store it in a garage wall locker. I discovered today that the bottom at hinge area had a very narrow two inch diagonal crack in it and insulation dust leaking out. The nice CS lady told me the garage is a no-no due to large temperature swings (Colorado). She assured me it would have no affect on the performance of the safe. Siliconed it up and I guess good to go. I honestly think the safe might be a bit large and heavy for in-home storage if you want to "hide" it.
