Buyer’s Guide

How to Choose the Right Fireproof Cabinet

  • Certification fit: For paper records, choose UL Class 350 (1-hour or 2-hour). For digital media (tapes, drives), use a media-rated safe (Class 125/150) or a dual-rated unit. Class 350 alone files are not designed for electronics.
  • Risk profile & response time: Standard offices near fire response → 1-hour is common. Archives/critical records, remote sites, or insurer requirements → step up to 2-hour.
  • Layout & capacity (real use): Lateral drawers are wider and typically hold more files per drawer and allow faster browsing; they need more wall width. Vertical saves floor width but uses deeper front-to-back drawers. Pick drawer count + format based on your access pattern (lots of team access = lateral), not just “number of drawers.”
  • Depth matters: Common fire file depths include ~22", ~25", and ~31". Deeper drawers increase front-to-back capacity (especially for legal size). Add follower blocks or rails to minimize wasted space.
  • Document format: If you file end-tab folders, a fireproof storage cabinet with shelves may be a better fit than a drawer file. For mixed records (binders, boxes, end-tab), choose storage cabinets.
  • Growth headroom: Buy for the next 12-24 months of growth. Aim for ~20-30% spare capacity to avoid a second cabinet purchase.
  • Building logistics: Confirm path widths, stairs/elevators, floor load, and destination room. Choose delivery accordingly: Phoenix includes white-glove; FireKing includes dock-to-dock with liftgate/inside options.
  • After-fire support & parts: Prefer brands with clear warranties, after-fire replacement programs, and available keys/locks/seals.

Understanding Ratings

What UL Class Ratings Really Mean

UL Class 350 - 1 Hour: Interior stays ≤ ~350°F for at least 60 minutes while exterior fire reaches test temperatures (paper chars ~400°F+). Designed for protecting paper documents.

UL Class 350 - 2 Hour: Same protection for at least 120 minutes - ideal for archives, legal/medical records, or buildings with slower fire response. Paper-focused.

UL Class 125: Protects digital media such as hard drives, magnetic tapes, optical discs, and flash drives. Interior remains ≤ 125°F with controlled humidity, preventing heat and moisture damage to sensitive electronics. Choose this if you need to safeguard data media, not just paper.

Impact & Water: Many models are also tested for drop impact (simulating floor collapse) and water spray/drip (sprinkler or hose). Always check the product’s certification details.
