Fireproof Safes For Sale

Fireproof Safe Ratings

Fireproof ratings for safes are determined based on the degree and duration of fire protection a safe can provide for its contents. The main fireproof ratings you'll encounter in your search are:

1. 1-Hour UL Fire Rating: Safes with a 1-hour UL (Underwriters Laboratories) fire rating have been tested to withstand external temperatures of over 1700 degrees Fahrenheit for a period of one hour while maintaining an internal temperature below 350 degrees. This level of protection is typically adequate for most home users, safeguarding crucial paper documents and valuables which can withstand temperatures up to 350 degrees.

2. 2-Hour UL Fire Rating: A 2-hour UL fire rating represents a higher degree of protection. Safes with this rating can endure the same intense external temperatures for a full two hours, while keeping the interior temperature below 350 degrees. These safes provide extra assurance, particularly in commercial settings or regions prone to wildfires where fire services might take longer to respond.

3. UL 72 Class 350: This rating means that the safe can withstand external temperatures of over 1700 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour while keeping the internal temperature below 350 degrees. This is the most common rating for fireproof safes as most of the items people want to protect (such as paper documents) ignite at temperatures above 350 degrees.

4. UL 72 Class 150: A safe with this rating can withstand the same external temperatures as a Class 350 safe for one hour, but the internal temperature remains below 150 degrees. These safes are intended for storing magnetic media, such as audio tapes and VHS tapes, which can get damaged at temperatures above 150 degrees.

5. UL 72 Class 125: The highest rating, a Class 125 safe can withstand external temperatures of over 1700 degrees for up to two hours, keeping the internal temperature below 125 degrees. This rating is necessary for safes meant to store data and digital media, such as hard drives and CDs, which can be affected by temperatures above 125 degrees.

6. ETL Verified Mark: This is an additional certification, signifying that the safe has been independently tested and validated to endure a certain heat intensity for a specified duration.

7. Impact Rating: Some fireproof safes also have an impact rating. This indicates whether the safe can survive a fall from a certain height and still remain secure and intact.

When selecting a fireproof safe, it's vital to balance the value of the items to be protected with the safe's cost and rating. A higher fireproof rating usually commands a higher price, so choose a safe that provides appropriate protection for your specific needs.
