Is this safe fire proof/resistant?
1302719
I installed it over 4 years ago, so I don't recall that it is fire safe or resistant. I highly doubt it, though. Keep in mind, the interior storage capacity for this safe is small. Fire resistant safes tend to have thick wall, are larger than this one, and cost much more. It is just large enough to storage several sets of keys hanging on the "back" wall using glued on hooks, or if used flat, large enough to hold a few day's worth of mail. Take a look at your local discount hardware stores. Since I bought mine, I've seen this same kind of small safe in stock at Harbor Freight, Big Lots, and others, for less than I paid for this one. I am glad I purchased this safe, as it serves its intended purpose well. I installed it over 4 years ago, so I don't recall that it is fire safe or resistant. I highly doubt it, though.

It should be OK because this unit has a ceramic socket...as others have mentioned I would keep it away from anything that could catch on fire. Good luck...

I gave it as a gift so I don't really know but I would think that for it to be fireproof there would be no holes for bolting/screwing it down...just a guess on my part.

Considering it was sent to me via mail I think you can check no. Really, what is not flammable if you intentionally set fire to it? It is not combustible, which is probably really what USPS wants to know.

Wouldn't use it for valuables, it's not fire protective and could be easily taken. Smarter to go for a few more $ get a higher quality lockable fire proof one

I would say yes to it being waterproof. Everything is inside of a single housing piece. The back unscrews to access the batteries and light bulb and there is a tight seal between the housing and the back that screws on. As for being good for the fire service, I'm not sure what temperature the case would melt. It's durable but I'm sure it would melt at some temperature. It's just a matter of knowing that temperature.

The manufacture does not state. I have 3 of them. I am thinking in a small fire you might be ok for a little while, as it is steel. In a raging inferno...not so sure. Good value for the money, but a few out there for a couple bucks more better investment.

No, this safe is a locking cabinet. It is not fireproof and it is not a true security safe. It is meant as a cost-effective storage solution with the ability to lock. For what it is, it's a great value. However, if you want fire protection or protection from an attack you should look at a different brand and tier.

Yes, it is fire proof. Unfortunantly, I don't remember the time and temperature rating and I am not at home to check any paperwork. I was satisfied with the rating for keeping paper document and jewelry in the safe.

It is neither fireproof nor waterproof. It is fire resistant at 1200 degrees F for 30 minutes, just as about any other safe you will see. There are no specs on water depth or time.Hope this helps.

I use mine for mig welding and they are awesome - perfect for mig welding. But they are not strictly speaking fire-proof.

Nope. It will also compromise the safe's fire resistance to bolt it down. I would suggest the use of an industrial epoxy to secure the safe, without reducing its fire resistance.

I doubt it, it is not shielded and nor is it specifically fire rated. But it's also not carrying any current so personally I think it's a grey area but if you are concerned about potential fire then get something CL3 Rated for In-wall Installation.

Not sure about the Fire Resistant but I had the unit up in Hawaii weather for three months as I working underneath it re-finishing furniture and it performed great even in the rain. The only bad thing I can say about it is that in winds, the tie downs break free from the unit as they are secured properly with enough thread and reinforcement.

This safe is not fire rated. I've had one for a couple months now. Great size and features, but it's not a fire safe.
