A fireproof safe is a small investment that will last a lifetime. In the unimaginable event of a catastrophic fire, it could pay for itself a thousand times over. At home, your precious sentimental items will remain protected, and at work, the most important documents and company records will assist with business continuity.

What to Consider When Purchasing a Fireproof Safe

Here are a few important factors to consider when selecting a fireproof safe:

  • Security Rating: A security rating is one way of determining the quality of a safe. A quality safe can have a security rating anywhere from $5,000 to $500,000, so an insurance company will generally cover the contents of the safe within its security rating.
  • Locking Mechanism: The type of locking mechanism—whether electronic, combination dial, or keyed—needs to suit your individual requirements for convenience and security.
  • Fire Rating: Fire ratings can vary from safe to safe. Smaller safes with a lower price range may only have a 30-minute fire rating, whereas larger, higher-quality safes may offer a 2-hour fire rating. It’s important to note that safes are marketed as “fire rated” rather than “fireproof,” as each manufacturer uses its own independent fire tests to provide specific ratings suited to their testing conditions.
