Fire Safes
Fire Safes are usually made of a thin metal double wall and have a fire-resistant insulating material between the walls. Fire Safes have a minimum level of security, because they are designed to protect (especially papers) against fire. Fire Resistant Safes have to maintain an internal temperature of below 350 degrees C (the point at which documents will be destroyed). These fire safes provide the fire protection for either 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes.

There is a whole highly developed industry behind fire safes: they are usually made of metal, are designed to be fire and environmentaly resistant and are using high tech electronics, laser-cut doors or memory recall capabilities. One of the world's largest home security providers is Buy A Safe. Our Fire Safes offer high quality at competitive prices.
The safes generally have two main destinations - for home or office use - and can be classified in three main types:
1) Burglary Safes offer protection against theft, but very little against fire. Usually they have solid metal walls and a heavy door resistant to a drilling, cutting or prying attack. Hardened resistant metals are often used to slow down attempts to break in to this safe.
2) Fire Safes are usually made of a thin metal double wall and have a fire-resistant insulating material between the walls. They have a minimum level of security, because they are designed to protect (especially papers) against fire. They have to maintain an internal temperature of below 200 degrees C (the point at which documents will be destroyed) .The safes provide the fire protection for either 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes. Similar to them, but a bit more effective, there are the Data Fire Safes which maintain less than 52 degrees C (the point at which data media is destroyed) and also protect against high humidity, electro magnetic contamination, etc.
3) Fire / Burglary Safes They are generally multi-purpose safes and offer good protection both against thefts and fire. They are designed like a burglary safe and a fire safe, but have a secondary wall inside, which contains insulation (the material that helps maintaining a low temperature).
Usually home safes are used to prevent stealing or destruction of our family's property: money, papers like receipts, contracts, personal and financial documents, jewels and sometimes other things which can be irreplaceable: photos, videos. For good protection of these valuables we need Fire/Burglary Safes. Usually, these safes are located in the floor or in the walls.
The wall safes demand a special framing and it is better to place them as low as possible because, in the event of a fire, the temperature is lower at ground level. These wall fire safes are very practical for those of us who value their possessions, but don't want to keep them in a bank. They are easy to install and access and they do not require special modifications of the interior or the design of the house.
If you think a fire can't happen to your business, think again. All it takes is some faulty wiring and a few moments of inattention for your business to go up in flames. Losing the site of your business can be devastating but even more so, you'll lose the documents and software that made your business possible. If you lose your important business documents in a fire, the best that can happen is that your credit rating will be damaged. The worst that can happen is that you'll lose your business entirely ... and many do.
If you aren't using a fire-resistant safe to store important documents, you're taking a gamble with your business. Fire safes are graded based on the amount of time they can protect your documents from fire; most provide 60 to 120 minutes of protection.
