    if you plan to put the safes on a solid floor or concrete, waterproof around it before you place the safes on.

    I wouldn't go for a combination lock, it's a pain to open.
    go for a digital lock, so much easier to use,
    waterproof around and set up a 240V connection for light or dampchaser.

    I didn't know combo locks were that bad.

    Slightly off topic, but there's quite a few posts about damp gun safes and rust etc. Every time I see them, I think you've got bigger problems than your guns rusting! Admittedly, not a very helpful observation to someone in that situation.

    Only if it comes with a key back up.
