LOCKDOWN GoldenRod Dehumidifier Rod with Low Profile Design and Easy Installation and Operation for Vault Humidity Control and Rust Prevention, Made in USA

The rod does get hot to the touch, but not so hot that it will affect anything in your safe. I have mine placed horizontally in front of the door. The temp inside has risen between 8-10 degrees, and humidity has dropped from 65% to 47%. I use this in addition to a pair of Eva-Dry Wireless Mini Dehumidifiers and a Govee Bluetooth Hygrometer Thermometer to make sure things stay copacetic inside the safe.

The best dehumidifier rod for safes that I’ve ever used! Easy to mount and the different sizes you can get will fit any situation you want. My first Golden rod is still going strong and it’s 8-10 yrs old, I bought two more and hopefully they last just as long. Definitely worth the money, not that they are high priced, you pay for what you get. Heat output is surprisingly good, never had an issue with the first one. Highly recommend it!! I bought a cheap one in a hurry and it didn’t last 6 months.

Excellent build quality. You get what you pay for that’s why this device is always the highest rated.

I purchased this for my gun/rifle safe back on 01/19/2018. I also keep a hygrometer in the safe that tells me the current and average temperatures and humidity. Just over 7 1/2 years later, it is still working as good as the first day I plugged it in. I only unplugged it one time for the day that we moved to our new home. It does a great job at helping to protect my firearms. I highly recommend it. I do also keep one of those things that you plug into the wall every so often, then place in the safe; along with one of those cans that you occasionally heat up in the stove, then place in your safe, to also help maintain the correct temperatures and humidity (can’t remember what they’re called at the moment). Though, I will say; that after a few years, I have gotten lazy about reheating the can and plugging in the other thing. These things together (mostly the rod) have kept any rust off of my guns. I was not paid or offered anything for this review. I just occasionally check the rod to make sure it’s still working; and today thought to myself, “I think it’s been long enough to leave a solid review on usefulness & longevity. I don’t e see the usefulness of reviews that say “I bought it yesterday, and it’s working great”. I want to know if it’s still going to be working after some years.

The Goldenrod 12 inch, original (made in USA) appears to be well made with a high degree of professionalism. It is composed of a 3/4 inch aluminum tube, 12 in. long, with plastic end caps and a 6-7 foot cord. The plug is removable to help installation. The power rating is 12 W, which I confirmed. Mounted on its plastic feet, on a bench, in a 68 degree F room, the Goldenrod's surface temperature reached 151 degrees F (66 C). One could hold one's hands on it for 2 seconds. It IS a burn hazard, especially for the very young and old. Be sure to mount it securely where it cannot be touched inadvertently. The plastic feet have screw mounts. It does have a UL listing 293B.

Does what it's supposed to do. Doesn't take up much space. Easy setup. No moisture or mildew in my safe.

Has worked as directed and zero issues

I bought this to replace a Goldenrod that stopped working. Before I received this item, and out of curiosity, I wrote Lockdown cooperation asking about their warranty because I no longer had a copy of the receipt. Lockdown replied asking me to send photos of my old Goldenrod, part number & serial number. To my great surprise, Lockdown sent a brand new Goldenrod to me! I love Lockdown Goldenrods!
