Fireproof or fire-resistant?

No safe is completely fireproof. A fire-resistant safe is built to keep the inside below the temperature at which paper chars for a period of time while a fire burns around it. The protection depends on the model, so always ask for the fire protection of the specific safe you are buying. We will tell you what each model offers.

What to keep in a fireproof safe

  • Title deeds, share certificates and wills
  • Passports, birth certificates and academic certificates
  • Contracts and company records
  • Cash and jewellery

Safes or cabinets

For a few documents and valuables, a fireproof safe. For whole files and records, a fireproof filing cabinet holds far more and keeps papers in order.

Where to put a fireproof safe

On a ground floor or concrete slab where possible, away from kitchens and fuel stores, and bolted down. We advise on placement when we install.
