Ultimate FireProof Safe

Fireproof filing cabinets are rated for specific time durations, typically from 30 minutes up to 2 hours. This rating indicates how long the cabinet can maintain a safe internal temperature for paper documents, even while exposed to external temperatures as high as 1700°F (927°C). Be sure to check the fire rating of the cabinet before purchasing to ensure it meets the level of protection you need.

Fireproof safes are ideal for storing critical documents like passports, deeds, and financial records, as well as valuable items like jewelry, cash, and small electronics. However, it’s important to check the safe’s fire rating if you’re storing data storage devices (such as hard drives or USBs) since some models are better suited for paper documents, while others are specifically rated for digital media.

Not all fireproof safes are waterproof, but many are designed with water-resistant features to protect against water damage caused by fire hoses or sprinklers. If you live in an area prone to flooding or if water protection is essential for your valuables, consider choosing a fireproof safe that specifically lists waterproof capabilities.

While fireproof safes require minimal maintenance, it’s a good idea to inspect your safe periodically—perhaps every six months. Check the door seals and any waterproof components for wear and tear. If your safe has an electronic lock, consider changing the batteries as recommended by the manufacturer. Regular checks ensure that your safe remains in optimal condition to protect your valuables when needed most.

Ultimate Manual Safes come with a combination dial lock that includes a factory-preset combination. If you’d like to change this combination, we recommend contacting us for guidance. On the other hand, Electronic Digital Locks (with a digital keypad) are more user-friendly, allowing you to easily update the combination whenever you wish. Please ensure you follow the instruction manual carefully.

If the safe is one of our products, please contact us directly. You will need to provide the serial number and proof of ownership. Note that we do not keep records of combination codes; we will need to reach out to the manufacturer on your behalf. A fee will apply for the retrieval of the combination number, which will be passed on to you..

The frequency of battery replacement for your digital lock depends on usage and battery quality. As a general guideline, replacing the batteries after a year of use is recommended. If your lock is not functioning properly, replacing the batteries is typically the first and most effective solution.

Talking about your safe can increase the risk of theft. Many burglaries happen because a family member or employee mentions the existence of a safe to someone else. Even if it’s a casual conversation, it could eventually reach someone you don’t know or trust. We respect our customers’ privacy, and our experience shows that keeping the details of your safe and confidential significantly reduces the chances of becoming a target. The good news is that if you’ve invested in a quality safe, you can rest easy knowing your valuables are well protected against both fire and burglary threats.
