Frequently Asked Questions โ€“ Lateral Fireproof File Cabinets

What is the fire rating of these cabinets?

Fireproof file cabinets are typically rated for 1 hour, meaning they can protect contents from extreme heat (up to 1700ยฐF) for that duration without damage. Always verify the exact fire rating on the product specifications.

What is a UL classification, and why is it important?

UL (Underwriters Laboratories) classifications certify that the cabinet has passed rigorous testing for fire resistance. A UL 1-hour rating means contents are protected from fire for at least one hour under intense heat conditions.

Do these cabinets have locking mechanisms?

Yes, most lateral fireproof cabinets include key locks. Optional upgrades like combination locks or electronic locks may be available by special request. Contact us for a custom quote.

Are these cabinets resistant to burglary?

Many fireproof cabinets include reinforced steel and advanced locking features to help resist break-ins. However, their main function is fire protection, so burglary resistance varies by model.

What storage capacity do these cabinets offer?

Lateral cabinets are built to store large quantities of files. Capacity depends on the number and size of drawers, so check individual product specs to ensure it fits your storage needs.

Will the cabinet fit in my office space?

Measure your available space carefully and compare with the cabinet's dimensions. Lateral cabinets are wider than vertical ones, so accurate planning is essential for proper placement.

What materials are used in these cabinets?

These cabinets are made from high-quality steel and impact-resistant panels with fire insulation (free of asbestos). Many models also feature water-resistant seals for added protection.

Do fireproof file cabinets offer water resistance?

Some models include water resistance to protect from sprinklers, fire hoses, or minor flooding. Refer to individual specs to confirm this feature if water protection is a priority.

Are all lateral file cabinets fireproof?

No. Only lateral cabinets specifically tested and certified by UL, ETL, or another recognized lab are considered fireproof. Look for a label inside the cabinet drawer or refer to the product specs for official fire ratings.
