Is this safe fire rated?

No, it's just a steel box. It suits our needs, but it's not fire/water rated.

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 would definitely return it. It could potentially become a fire hazard. Better safe than sorry!

Yes it would be safe. This product is Class I fire resistant. This means: Class 1, or Class A, fire rating means that the building material is highly resistant to fire and does not spread flames quickly. In the flame-spread rating test, a score of 0 to 25 constitutes a Class 1 rating. The score is relative and balanced between asbestos cement sheet, with a score of 0, and pure red oak, with a score of 100.

While this is a durable, all-steel safe, it is not listed as fire proof. If for no other reason, the open slot at the front would make it non-fire proof. See http://www.sentrysafe.com/Products/287/UC-039K_Drop_Slot_Safe for details--they only list the security icon. You could find a fire proof safe under their Fire-Safe category, and then see if it's available on Amazon. Best of luck!

It has a better fire rating than most safes in this class. As far as drill resistant, remember you are buying a low end safe, it is as good as any other in this class. If you want a high end safe with very good fire and drill rating you should probably be looking at Fort Knox safes. Be prepared to reach deep into your pocket to get one. I compared this safe to many others in the same class and it is very hard to beat for the money.

I don't know. It says it is. Check with the manufacturer. I will say its heavy, so its probably lined with something fireproof.

My experience is that it is safe as long as you do not keep the unused charcoal or other eaily flammable items under the grill. So far I am please with my purchase!

The safe doesn't have any kind of insulation/Fire retardent features except for the sheet rock surrounding it when installed. It doesn't have any fire rating in the instructions or literature that comes with the safe.

I've never used it inside, but I would think that it is. I've read on reviews that people have used it indoors during power outages. The fire isn't big.

No. The safe is not fire resistant and will not protect enclosed item if in a fire.

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...

To be honest I've wondered about that myself. I just figured that since it's certified fireproof that it's ok or maybe even necessary. Have you attempted to ask the company?

Not fire proof I wouldn't think. But it has worked for us and we like the night drop door. Not real high quality but it works for our purpose of collecting night drop keys.

Unlikely. We have ours in an office building right under the fire and smoke detector and have had zero issues. Also, we had our local maint. guy test the air temp during operation and found little difference.

I am not sure -- moisture is not a problem with mine-- I have some of those silca packs in the safe. I may get too hot-- I know it is fire proof but not heat proof
