Protect your valuables and critical data against the damaging effects of a fire by installing a fire proof safe at home or in your workplace. Losing critical documents, sentimental items or data in a fire can have devastating consequences and can make subsequent insurance claims and other proceedings very difficult to process following the event. Fire proof safes act as security and fire protection for important items and documents like birth certificates, passports, policies and financial documents. Some fire proof safes also offer flood protection. Use them in your office or at home for confidence that the contents are safeguarded against damage and unauthorised access.
You may want a safe to store your valuables for insurance purposes, or just for your own peace of mind, however there are a number of factors which need to be considered before making a purchase. Manufacturers will usually provide a suggested overnight insurance rating which refers to the amount of cash or valuables that an insurer will usually cover when it’s kept in the safe. The valuables rating is typically 10 times higher than the cash rating and is usually a good indication of the security level that the safe can provide. It is important to know what safe specifications your insurance company requires before you make a purchase.
Often, insurance companies will also request that the chosen safe be bolted to the floor or wall, and installed properly according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually by a professional) to prevent removal. Not all safes are suitable for bolting down so be certain that the safe being purchased has been pre-drilled or is suitable for drilling.
What you can store in your fire proof safe is dependent on whether your safe was designed for storing digital or magnetic media in addition to paper documents and other items. Check the manufacturers details to find out whether digital or magnetic media would be protected. Use your fire proof safe to store any personal items or documents that are critical to you or you business.
Some of the most common items to store in a fire proof safe are:
The best fire proof safe for your home is one that meets your needs, as requirements differ from person to person. Think about how long you need your fire proof safe to withstand fire, the internal size required to accommodate your belongings, and the type of locking mechanism you prefer, whether it's a combination lock, electronic lock, or key lock. Insurance rating is also important if you’re planning on storing valuable items as it impacts the reimbursement provided by insurance companies in the event of a fire-related loss. You could also consider additional features such as water resistance, particularly if you live in an area that is prone to flooding. The type of item you wish to store in your safe is also a consideration as not all safes are suitable for storing digital or magnetic media.
Not all safes are fire proof. Many basic security safes have no protection from fire, heat or water. Fire proof safes are specifically designed and constructed to withstand high temperatures during a fire. They maintain a temperature level that doesn’t affect the internal contents inside for a specified period of time when subjected to extreme external temperatures. Not all safes offer the same level of fire and heat protection. The fire resistance of a safe depends on factors such as its construction materials, design, and fire rating.
