Overall, a helpful presentation... The camera setup needed to be mounted above the working area, all I saw was your shoulder and/or the light itself blocking most of the work you performed, personally, I'd have taken better care not to scratch up the surface on the back of the safe too. Thanks for putting this out there as I'm in the market for a gun safe & considering the " Liberty Colonial 23 " & I will in all likiyhood utilize the (3) plug Liberty power outlet kit as well as the (3) piece LED adhesive backed light kit & also go with a plug-in dehumidifier... Thank you, Bill... :~)
I realized the camera angle was not good when I reviewed the footage, but at that time it was too late to refilm, I have gotten better at setting up the camera. and sometimes my wife is available to film it for me. My hope is that the videos are helpful.
No, the power draw in the outlet is very small, and having the outlet powered from an outlet strip will not be a problem. Now if it was a large load in the 10-12 amps there might be a problem.
If I drill into my Winchester do you think they sell some type of plug I could cover up the hole? I thought about running an extension cord in there because I have no idea how to tag into my electric in my house and run another outlet
They have several types of plugs and grommets. If you want to run wires through then a gromets works best. As the dehumidifiers draw very little current you could install this connector and run extension cords to it. The current is about 0.2 Amps when the circuit is generally 15 amps. As for installing an outlet in your house, you want an electrician to do that. Now on to how to get power into your safe. If you run an extension cord, you must drill a large hole to allow the plug to end through. The best way is to install a receptacle into the safe and run power to it.
Thats perfect. I just rigged up some aa battery powered string lights in mine for light. They are $5 or $10 and it's quick and easy. If you have anything bigger than a standard size safe it'd be worth it to get the plug ins
The main reason is the input power cord is a right-angle plug. and the power for the outlet is coming from above. otherwise, the cord would make a 180-degree turn to get to the source. Putting more strain on the cord and outlet. As for the outlet inside with the ground on the top, if the plug was partially out and a metal object hit the contacts it would hit the ground and not the hot and neutral contacts. And the last time I check code allowed ground up or down. with up being the safer orientation
Thanks for your troubles this video helped me out so much Thanks again
Glad to hear it!
Thank you so much! Super simple and explained very well
Glad it helped!
Thanks for video!
Your welcome

That is the plan
What size hole saw?
In the installation notes it will give you the correct size.
2 3/4"
Did you think that you would have less than 120 volts?

What safe is this?
The safe is a Liberty
Thats perfect. I just rigged up some aa battery powered string lights in mine for light. They are $5 or $10 and it's quick and easy. If you have anything bigger than a standard size safe it'd be worth it to get the plug ins
I just used a battery-powered light that I attached to the top in the front.
Lots and lots of Ammo
Dilled it with ejection systems
Filled it with the exceptions systems
FYI the outlet is upside down

It’s upside down
The power for the safe is above the safe and It was installed that way because of that.
That's the correct orientation. Electrical arcs occur upward, essentially into the grounding plug.
