Fire-resistant – Is there such a thing?
Fire-resistant – Is there such a thing?
To cut to the chase, "No" Using the term "Fireproof" is a bit misleading. Everything has its melting point, and for steel, 2,300 degrees F will do. Of course, at this temperature, no safe can withstand abuse. So what is meant by the term "Fire-resistant" if there is no such thing?
A better term might be a "file cabinet fire safe" Technically, a fire safe. These safes can provide a certain level of protection, a window of opportunity for firefighters to do their job and put out the flames in most cases. Thus, for example, have a safe received a 2-hour fire rating, with a steel structure 100%, this would result in a 2-hour window in which the fire can be extinguished before the content of the safe were in danger. When you purchase a firewall or rather, the fire binder course, then you want to be sure it is labeled as meeting or exceeding the International Organization for Standardization, typically denoted "ISO" for short.
Although fire-resistant filing cabinets can not be exposed to temperatures that would melt steel, the chances of this happening are pretty slim, before the fire is sprayed. The exception would be so catastrophic data loss would be the last thing on your plate, so just be sure that the fire rating is Decent (The odds of two hours is very good, by the way).
** Quick Tip of the fire Note: You want to be sure your insurance company, whether for business or home insurance, will recognize the standard that is backing up your folders fireproof. What is really important, like global standards do not necessarily correspond with the American insurance companies, so in the case a fire and loss, you want to ensure first-hand that your insurance company recognizes the insurer of your fireproof filing cabinets. The fire rating for your workbooks must be purchased by the standards allow different UL fire-rated, 1 hour on site, with the price going up along the added protection.
Who Needs Fire-resistant?
With all the above, who needs exactly fireproof filing cabinets? The short answer the question is: anyone who is currently on the market to begin filing cabinets. If you are in the medical field, even if you store files home office and work from home first, you need to protect your patient data. If you have just a home office to for general purposes, and you need to find a central location to store your important documents such as birth certificates, marriage cert., titles and documents act, then you should definitely consider the worst case scenario and play it safe with a mini-workbook that can take the heat, literally.
Remember to protect your interest in the case of the unthinkable, since the lights are never expected to start. What would happen if your home or office went to a fire? What would you wish that you were protected in fireproof filing cabinets? This may sound paranoid, but everyone who was devastated by fire wished the same thing. "Oh, I wish I had kept pictures of the children," or other valuable documents. Do not this happen to you or your company.
"But I have my files in a solid, a metal filing cabinet already. Sure." Unfortunately, you are likely wrong. Unless the firm has been specifically designed to prevent damage caused by fire, the internal temperatures of the cabinet file can probably exceed 350 F, at least against the walls of the cabinet. At these temperatures, the chances of spontaneous combustion with paper products, not to mention all the electronic storage media contained there (they are roasted over 125 ° F), are very high.
OK, So I may need … But What features should I look for before buying?
Fireproof filing cabinets are delivered with a specially designed fire rating, as mentioned above. There's a fire different notes depending on your needs and what you store inside cabinets. If you store data files or electronic media such as CD-ROM and portable, external hard drives or USB drives, then you will need the highest rating UL fire to a fire-resistant cabinet. In other words, the score will be set to 125, representing the maximum internal temperature, and you should obtain fireproof filing cabinets that have a decent burn time.
You do well to talk with your insurance agent on the subject, since you will also likely to take a break on your premium if you take that extra step to protect your important files and data assets. Rather than going top of the line and purchase the top ranked fireproof filing cabinets, you can consider the following.
How these documents are an integral for your business or your life in general? If you already have a filing system, you can simply buy a workbook or two fire safety and book to protect your most important documents.
How quickly the fire department can reach you? This seems a bit obtuse, but consider this especially if you live outside the city or in an area where there is no easy access to fire equipment and stakeholders. Farthest your location, or you're more of a fire station, over a fire rating you want. This refers to a 1, 2 or 3 hours notation. This is the note given with your cabinets that tells you how long the temperature remains at a level of security in case of fire.
Styles fireproof filing cabinets to better release a liquid during extreme heat. This liquid is giving the firm a better fire rating. A very important feature that can not be overstated: fire safety is the workbook you want to evaluate as evidence of water? This is a feature very important to consider because the fire extinguishing systems and fire departments use a lot of water to extinguish the fire Plus, you do not want your files are protected from the heat of a hand, but tempered and water damaged the other. It seems silly, but be sure that your manufacturer explicitly states that before you buy.
Another tip is to consider the floor space. You can find lots of fireproof filing cabinets which are designed to fit under a desk or in a closet, and some can even fit in a closet or behind a wall if you 're really trying to conserve space. The smaller models can even sit atop the largest, just be sure to check with manufacturer's specifications. With different depths and widths and the amount of drawers, to find the right style to fit your desktop or at home should not be a problem.
Two more considerations before purchasing fireproof filing cabinets: you must be sure of the warranty is at least 2-3 years for mechanical problems, and manufacturers to get to return their product with a lifetime or limited lifetime warranty. When you spend money on updating fireproof filing cabinets, you should get your money and stick to distributors and manufacturers renown. Check them with the Better Business Bureau and other agencies of consumer information.
The last tip before you buy, is to be sure, if you decide to save money and buy your dealer does not sell you a product that has passed through the fire and simply repainted. Although the fire safety workbook seems decent on the outside, the fire-resistant mechanism has been spent, and it is now just a workbook. Consider that before buying a fireproof cabinet used.
