Fire Resistant Safes

Choosing a fire resistant safe

A fire resistant safe helps protect important belongings from heat during a fire. Start with what you need to store: passports, wills, property records and other paper documents need different protection from hard drives, USB devices and other digital media. A safe rated for paper should not automatically be treated as suitable for electronic storage.

Compare the stated fire rating on each model, including the test standard and protection time. The rating describes performance under specified test conditions; it is not a promise that contents will survive every fire. Check the individual product specifications rather than relying on the word “fireproof” alone.

Allow room for document folders and future additions. Compare internal dimensions for storage space, and external dimensions, weight and door clearance for installation. Choose a locking method you can use reliably, whether key or digital.

If theft protection matters too, check the model’s burglary protection and cash rating, then confirm any requirements with your insurer. Fire resistance and burglary resistance are separate features.

Frequently asked questions

What fire rating should I choose?

Compare the protection time and test standard listed for each model. Choose according to what you are storing and the level of protection you need.

Can a document safe protect digital media?

Do not assume so. Choose a model explicitly rated for the media you intend to store; a paper fire rating alone is not enough.

How much space do I need?

Measure your folders and belongings, then compare the safe’s internal dimensions. Allow extra capacity for future storage.

Is delivery and installation included?

Standard delivery is ground-level delivery to the nearest accessible entry point. Inside placement, stairs and professional installation require a customised quote.
