A few things I've learned...
• Have the right manpower and equipment in place when moving it home; these things are scary-heavy
• Most have holes in the bottom to allow for bolting in place; take advantage of this.
• Exterior hinges allow the door to open greater than 90 degrees.
• Use a "golden rod" or other heating device to help prevent moisture and rust from forming on the rifles.
• If at all possible, park it inside the house where it's heated and air-conditioned.
• It may be cheaper to buy two small-to-medium units rather than one giant one.
• Take the obvious precautions about guarding the combination. I keep a copy of it in a safe-deposit box at the bank.
• While it is okay to be proud of the thing, the fewer people who know you have it and what is kept inside is a good way to go.
