Why Are Fireproof File Cabinets so Heavy?

0

There is not much that can stand in the way of a fire, but one of them is reinforced steel. A fireproof file cabinet is reinforced by several inches of pure steel to protect your files inside. After all, the file cabinet can be fireproof but your documents are certainly not. The highest standard in this cabinets is the 2 hour type, which can withstand flames for 2 hours. While this may seem unnecessary at first, keep in mind that there is never any guarantee that a fire will come and go quickly with the help of firefighters or an extinguisher. These cabinets also come with durable locks to keep your important files indefinitely safe from prying eyes — or in the case of a fire creeping into one of the cabinet cracks. There is really no way to replace what fireproof file cabinets offer.
