Master Lock Fire-Resistant Document Chests
Master Lock fire-resistant document chests provide portable protection for important paper records and selected digital media in homes, home offices and light commercial workplaces. The range includes compact key-locking chests and larger digital models.
Fire protection varies by model. Products in this range offer either 30 minutes at 843°C or 60 minutes at 927°C. Selected models also have ETL-verified water resistance against submersion for up to 72 hours.
These products are intended primarily to protect documents and media from fire and water exposure. They should not be treated as burglary-resistant safes unless a separate security rating is stated for the selected model.
