What documents should I store in a fire-resistant cabinet?

Fire-resistant cabinets protect important business documents, contracts, certificates, employee records, and sensitive files from damage during a fire. They are ideal for offices, schools, and government institutions that need to safeguard critical paperwork.

How does the 30-minute fire rating protect my documents?

A 30-minute fire rating means the cabinet maintains a safe temperature inside for up to 30 minutes during exposure to fire, protecting document contents from heat and smoke damage. This gives you critical time for emergency response and evacuation.

Can I adjust the shelves to fit different document sizes?

Many Archive models feature adjustable shelves, allowing you to organize and stack documents, files, and valuables based on your storage needs. Check the specific model details or contact Procure.ae to confirm shelf adjustment options.

Where should I place a fire-resistant cabinet in my office?

Position the cabinet in a secure, accessible location within your office or institutional space. Ensure the floor can support the weight, and place it away from direct heat sources while keeping it reasonably accessible for staff who need to retrieve documents.

How much weight can the shelves hold?

Consult the product specifications or contact Procure.ae to confirm the weight capacity per shelf, as this varies by model size and construction to ensure safe, stable storage of your documents.

Is a fire-resistant cabinet enough to protect against theft?

These cabinets feature secure key locks and are built with reinforced steel construction to deter unauthorised access. However, for maximum security against burglary, consider cabinets with additional burglary-resistance ratings.
