Fire Safe

A fire safe protects passports, deeds, cash and backup drives from heat and, in some models, water. Fire protection is rated by time, such as 30 or 60 minutes, at a stated temperature, so check the rating against what you need to protect: paper chars at a higher temperature than data media.

We stock fire and water resistant safes and chests from Chubbsafes, Master Lock and Yale, plus fireproof document bags for keeping papers together inside a safe or cupboard. For burglary protection as well, choose a safe with both a fire rating and a cash rating. Price match guarantee on every product.

Buy it, and we can fit it. We are not just an online shop: our own locksmith engineers can install what you order, so you get the right product and a proper installation from one company. Fitting is available across England from £70.80 per hour including VAT (£59 + VAT) on weekdays, and £82.80 including VAT (£69 + VAT) from 5pm, at weekends and on bank holidays. Just tick I require installation on the product page when you add it to your basket, or call 0333 305 2967.

Frequently asked questions

How long will a fire safe protect my documents?

As long as its fire rating, for example 30 or 60 minutes. The rating is shown on each product page.

Is a fire safe also burglar-proof?

Not always. Choose a model with a cash rating as well as a fire rating if you need both.

Will a fire safe protect USB drives and hard drives?

Only if it is rated for data media, which needs a lower internal temperature than paper. Check the specification.
