If you want to fight fire and theft for your valuables and documents, buy the best safe protection you can afford. Obtain literature on the safes of interest and consult local police and fire officials about the level of protection the products provide you. Trade publications offer vast resources of information to help you make good decisions about fireproof and thief resistant wall or floor safes or fireproof storage boxes to protect your document storage and valuables.
Do you need fire or theft/burglar protection - or both from your safe? Check all safes for test performance, avoid used safes, check out hidden hinges, locks and warranties. Read these guidelines to help determine the fireproof and theft/burglar resistant safes that will protect your document storage and valuables.
Fire and burglar resistant safes come in several models and price ranges. A fireproof safe is far easier to come by than a safe that can bungle a thief. Theft resistant safes are expensive as they need to be heavy to impede mobility. A fire safe can be far more affordable, but needs to be hidden well and above any potential flood or water damage.
Fire, flood and theft safe document storage for your valuable papers is an important consideration, as they cannot be replaced easily if catastrophe strikes. There is no one option offering complete document protection. Make copies and store in different locations, and be sure to house them in a fireproof safe or storage box, hidden in locations recommended by local fire and police officials.
