Lockdown 12 in Dehumidifier Rod

3.7/5 Best Safe Score (how we score)

My budget pick, Lockdown's own-name heated rod, is the lower-priced sibling of the Golden Rod: a plug-in element that gently warms the air in the safe. Lockdown lists 12 and 18 inch lengths (about 100 and 200 cu ft) with mounting brackets and an easy plug attachment.

Who it's for

  • Best budget rod in Best Dehumidifier for Gun Safe – 3 Picks Sized by Cubic Feet: For a mid-size gun safe or cabinet with a way to run a cord, where the buyer wants electric humidity control for less; it has no lifetime warranty and a reviewer found it slower than the Golden Rod, so humid garages should look at the Golden Rod.

What we like

  • Lower price than the Golden Rod for the same heated-rod approach
  • Mounting brackets and quick-plug attachment included
  • 12 in and 18 in sizes cover roughly 100 and 200 cu ft, per Lockdown

What to know first

  • Gets hot to the touch, and it needs a power outlet or cord pass-through
  • No lifetime warranty, and the Gun University reviewer found it slower to bring humidity down than the Golden Rod

What owners say

Summarized from 2 owner discussions and review pages we read.

Praise

  • Does the job in a safe that is not opened often or in a low-humidity room
  • Easy install; the plug detaches to feed through a small hole

Complaints

  • Hot to the touch
  • Slower than the Golden Rod at bringing humidity down, per one reviewer; American Firearms also notes a low-quality plug and a simple bracket that offers little support
