Protect Documents & Media with Fireproof File Cabinets & Safes

Investing in a fireproof file cabinet protects essential documents and valuables from fire damage. These cabinets provide peace of mind for both home and business use by ensuring critical records remain secure in case of emergencies.

Fireproof file cabinets are designed with insulation, fire-resistant materials, and tight seals that protect contents from extreme heat. They are often UL-rated to ensure they meet strict fire protection standards.

Look for UL (Underwriters Laboratories) or other fire-resistance certifications. These labels typically indicate the cabinet's ability to withstand specific temperatures for a set amount of time.

The safest way to move a heavy fireproof file cabinet is to hire a professional moving company, piano mover, or local locksmith. These experts have the specialized equipment and experience necessary to handle units weighing 500 pounds or more safely. If you decide to move it yourself, proceed with caution: use a dolly rated for heavy loads, secure the cabinet with straps, and enlist enough people to assist. Always empty the cabinet beforehand to reduce weight. Please note that moving heavy items can pose safety risks, and it's advisable to consult a professional to avoid injury or damage.

Fireproof file cabinets typically weigh between 200 and 1,000 pounds, depending on their size, materials, and fire-resistance rating.

Look for labels indicating UL certification, fire-resistance ratings, and materials like thick steel or fire-resistant insulation.

To safely open a fireproof file cabinet, use the designated key or combination. Ensure the cabinet is stable and upright before opening heavy drawers.

You will need to contact the manufacturer directly with the serial number of the unit.
