Before purchasing a safe, it’s essential to consider not only burglary protection but also whether fire protection is required for the contents. This is especially crucial if you plan to store documents or sensitive media, like crypto cold wallets or hard drives. If fire protection is necessary, various safes are available depending on the specific contents to be secured. Fire protection ratings differ in terms of the maximum interior temperature that the safe can maintain during exposure.

In lab tests, safes are subjected to intense fire exposure, with the interior temperature not exceeding 170°C within the specified timeframe. Since regular paper only ignites at around 360°C, you can rest assured that your documents are well-protected even in extreme heat.
