Anchoring the panels into the safe. Making sure all is square is crucial.

No, that self is not crooked. All shelves are perfectly level, front back, diagonally, and side to side. The shelving: Right side: 2- 15" shelves (fits four ammo cans), and two 11" shelves. The left side: 1- 15" shelf, and 4-9" shelves. All shelves are supported with aluminum angle iron. Each one is 4" long and there are three per shelf. Each shelf was weighted with 150lbs for testing (that's all I could fit). That should work for AMMO!
Only one thing remains and that is the Flexilodice intumescent seals. There are going to be two seals installed. One will be flat for general fire seal and the other is going to be round at the top with an air pocket (still a intumescent seal), but like the seal for your door of your car. I am making sure that the safe WILL BE air tight. My other safe seals are okay, but I will also be replacing the single seal on it with the tandem seals.
Keeping the air and the moisture out along with the smoke, if that were to ever happen is imperative and where a LOT of safe manufacturers FAIL!
I hope by sharing this project, it answers questions of others. If there are any issues you may notice, please reply and let me know.
