Fire-resistant cabinets - maximum security for files, important documents and valuables

What characterizes a fire protection cabinet?

A fireproof cabinet is a special safety cabinet made of a heat-resistant material that keeps out high temperatures and fire for a certain period of time. Additional seals and insulation ensure a reduction of smoke and heat in the cabinet, which protects the contents in the event of a fire. 

In our online store you will find fire-resistant safety cabinets, safes and document safes for every business and private use. The cabinet types are divided into different fire protection classes. Depending on the model, a fire-resistant cabinet can successfully keep out flames for between 30 and 120 minutes. 

What does fire protection class mean?

The fire protection class is determined by means of a test in which the cabinets are exposed to a high temperature - similar to a fire. To prevent the contents from catching fire, a certain temperature must not be exceeded inside the cabinet. The fire resistance is decisive for the fire protection classification. 

However, even after the fire has been extinguished, the temperature inside the cabinet can continue to rise. This is known as the reheating period. The duration of the protection must be maintained even after the fire so that the contents do not fall victim to the flames. 

The fire protection class is classified in the DIN designation and is determined on the basis of the exact time from which there is no longer sufficient protection. Light fire protection can withstand flames for up to 30 minutes, while the highest fire protection for fire-resistant cabinets lasts up to 120 minutes.

What variants of cabinets with fire protection are available?

Fire-resistant cabinets are available in many designs that differ in terms of material, size (height, depth and width) and features. Free-standing fire-resistant cabinets can be placed in the room, for example as room dividers in open-plan offices. A wall-mounted cabinet with fire protection is ideal for small rooms with less space. For sensitive data, personal files or toxic and harmful substances, a lockable safety storage cabinet with fire resistance is the best choice. 

Fireproof cabinets and safes free-standing and for the wall

In offices, banks, doctors' surgeries and law firms, working with important files and personal documents is part of everyday life despite digitization. Fire-resistant filing cabinets and document cabinets are indispensable in these sectors. In the event of a fire, files and papers are protected from fire for up to 120 minutes, depending on the fire protection class. 

In industry and laboratories, a facility with fire protection certification is often mandatory. The storage of harmful substances and materials or sensitive data carriers requires maximum safety and is subject to certain requirements. Safety storage cabinets with a drip tray and sheet steel meet the high requirements and can withstand high temperatures. 

In addition to fire resistance, filing and document cabinets offer sufficient storage space so that you can keep your archive in order. Thanks to a versatile interior with hanging files, shelves and drawers, important documents can be found and accessed at any time, making employees' day-to-day work much more effective. 

A fire protection cabinet for wall mounting is particularly space-saving and can often be found in small offices or laboratories. Thanks to a sturdy bracket, the cabinet cannot tip over, and an additional base plinth is ideal for uneven surfaces to ensure that the cabinet is always level and stable and that nothing can fall over or leak inside the cabinet. 

A smaller version is the fireproof safe, which is suitable for storing cash, documents or jewelry. By installing the safe in the wall, no additional space is required in the room. A picture or piece of furniture as camouflage in front of the safe creates the perfect hiding place for your valuables from burglars. 

Lockable fire protection cabinets

A lockable cabinet with fire protection offers security against fire and unauthorized access. The models are usually fitted with a cylinder lock that can only be opened and relocked with the appropriate key. Excellent for the secure storage of internal documents, sensitive data and valuables. 

A fire protection cabinet with a lock is mostly used in offices, banks and laboratories, a company with hazardous substances or even in private households. The models have two advantages: In addition to fire resistance, lockable cabinets are used for secure storage and protection against unauthorized access and theft. 

Waterproof safety storage cabinet with fire protection

In the event of a fire, it is not only smoke and flames that can damage or destroy your documents, files and data. Extinguishing water is also a danger for important and valuable items. A fire-resistant cabinet is also waterproof. 

Whether extinguishing water from the sprinkler system or by the fire department - optimum fire protection is only guaranteed if the cabinet can keep out extinguishing water as well as smoke and flames. Our models are fire-resistant and waterproof so that your documents and data storage media are optimally protected.

Material and quality

Fire-resistant filing cabinets and safes are not exposed to high loads through daily use. In the event of a fire, the material must be able to withstand high temperatures, fire and extinguishing water. Materials such as wood are less suitable when it comes to protecting valuable items from fire. A fireproof safe or cabinet made of metal or aluminum meets the required criteria thanks to its special construction of fireproof material and flame-retardant seal. 

The purchase of fire-protected filing cabinets pays off not only in the event of a fire, as it provides effective protection against fire for files, paper and other valuables. The stability and durability of the materials is an important aspect of the daily use of a filing cabinet in everyday working life. Another advantage: metal and aluminum are extremely easy to clean, making a steel cabinet particularly easy to clean. With the right care, you can enjoy your fireproof filing cabinet for many years. 

Size and design

Fire protection cabinets not only offer a high level of security and can protect against fire for up to 120 minutes. The cabinets have plenty of storage space for storing files and valuable items. If you need to store a lot of files, we recommend a fireproof filing cabinet with large external dimensions and a large interior. If you need a storage solution for cash or important papers, a safe with fire protection is often sufficient. A safe can also be mounted on the wall or in a cupboard to save space.
