Buy time against fire and against theft. A fireproof safe comes in various time ratings. For example, a 1 hour fire rating means that the fireproof safe’s internal temperature will not exceed 350 degrees for at least one hour when exposed to external temperatures of 1700 degrees. Choose among 30 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours time ratings.

Fire resistant safes are great for both home and office use to secure important belongings and documents. You can choose either a dual dial/key safe or an electronic keypad. Here are some things to consider:~Dial safes are standard and cost effective but costs more to change the combination if needed ~Electronic keypad safes are easy to use. You can change the combination whenever you want. A disadvantage is the obvious wear on the keypads if you don’t change the combination every once in a while.
