How to Choose the Right Fireproof Cabinet

  • Certification: For paper records, choose UL Class 350 (1-hr or 2-hr). For digital media, use a Class 125/150 media safe or dual-rated unit.
  • Risk & response time: Typical offices → 1-hr. Remote, archive, or higher-risk environments → step up to 2-hr.
  • Vertical vs lateral: Lateral = faster shared access and side-to-side filing. Vertical = narrower footprint with deeper drawers.
  • Depths: Common depths are ~22", ~25", and ~31" (deeper drawers = more front-to-back capacity, especially for legal size).
  • Format: For end-tab files and mixed media, consider fireproof storage cabinets with adjustable shelves.
  • Capacity planning: Plan for 12–24 months of growth and target around 20–30% empty space for new files.
  • After-fire support: Look for warranties, after-fire replacement programs, and readily available keys/locks/seals.
