Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to assemble anything when it arrives?
Nope. This cabinet arrives fully assembled and ready to use. All you need to do is open the drawers and start filing — we’ll handle the heavy lifting.
Is it water-resistant as well as fireproof?
Yes. While not fully waterproof, Phoenix fireproof cabinets are designed with internal seals and insulated drawer construction to offer water resistance against fire hoses and sprinkler systems during a fire. This helps protect your documents from both heat and incidental moisture.
Can I store other valuables in it besides documents?
Absolutely. While designed for paper files, many customers use it to store hard drives, backup media, passports, contracts, and other sensitive items that need heat protection and secure access.
How do the drawers lock?
The included key-operated plunger lock secures all drawers at once. Two keys are provided, and the lock mechanism is simple, sturdy, and designed for long-term reliability.
Does it have anti-tip safety?
Yes. The cabinet features a drawer interlock system that allows only one drawer to open at a time, reducing the risk of tipping when fully loaded.
Can it be bolted to the floor?
It cannot be bolted down, as drilling would compromise the fireproof insulation. Its substantial weight (550 lbs) provides excellent stability without anchoring.
How do I clean or maintain the finish?
The enamel finish resists scratches and fingerprints. Wipe with a soft cloth and mild cleaner as needed - no special maintenance is required.
Can I use hanging folders?
Yes. Hanging folder rails are included and support both front-to-back and side-to-side filing for legal and letter-size documents. You can purchase Hanging File Folders or Top Tab File Folders to work with this unit.
What’s the difference between this and the LTR4W31 model?
The LGL4W31 is wider and supports both legal and letter-size files. The LTR4W31 is narrower and optimized for letter-size only. Both offer the same fireproof rating and security features.
Can it survive a zombie apocalypse?
It’s UL-tested for fire, impact, and explosions - not zombies. That said, it weighs 550 pounds and has steel drawers, so if you barricade the door with it, you’ve bought yourself some time.
