Fireproof File Cabinet
Purchasing a fireproof file cabinet is a crucial step you can take in protecting your home or business’s important documents and media from fire damage. Though the tragedy of fire may seem like an unlikely event, preparing for the worst by ensuring the safety of your important documents and media is always a smart decision.
Consider a few of the following documents, Birth & Death Certificates, Citizenship Papers, Deeds, Loan Papers, Marriage Certificate, Passport, and Stock & Bond Certificates. How crucial these are not destroyed.
Finding the right fireproof file cabinet may seem like a daunting task. There are many different styles and models to choose from, as well as cabinets designed to protect different things for different amounts of time. This buying guide is designed to make understanding the protection you need easier and less time consuming.
The first point to understand about buying a fireproof file cabinet is the rating system used to delineate the protective quality of the unit. Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) is the trusted source across the globe for product compliance. Benefiting a range of customers – from manufacturers and retailers to consumers and regulating bodies – they’ve tested products for public safety for more than a century.
UL rates products by a 1, 2, or 3. This means that the product successfully withstood an external fire temperature of 1700 degrees Fahrenheit to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit for 1, 2, or 3 hours while the internal temperature did not exceed 350 degrees for paper storage and 125 degrees for media storage. It is important to note that the 1, 2, and 3-hour ratings are how long the products were tested, not how long they will stand up in a real fire. Many independent tests have found that they last much longer.
There is a great difference in deciding on a fireproof file cabinet storage product for paper versus a product for media, such as CD’s, disks, photographs, etc., Paper ignites at 400 degrees Fahrenheit and begins to sustain damage at 350 degrees which is why products pass UL tests only if the internal temperature does not raise above 350 degrees.
Electronic media, and any other non-paper products, are much more susceptible to heat and humidity damage. They begin to degrade at only 125 degrees and 80% humidity.
All fireproof file cabinets are water resistant during a fire because of the positive pressure on the inside of the file, which along with the expansion created by the heat tends to keep water out. In the absence of fire the cabinets are vulnerable to water intrusion, though depending on the brand some resist water better than others.
