Class 6 Safes are NOT Fire Rated or Fireproof

MYTH: GSA Approved Safes are fire rated

FACT: The current spec. for GSA Approved safes and containers does not include a fire rating. The specification is for security against unauthorized entry, not fire protection.

There is a common misconception that Class 6 containers and safes have a UL fire rating. Quite simply, it has been suggested that top secret or classified documents and materials are better off being destroyed that to come into the wrong hands. After all, security is about mitigating risk, not exposing more.

Laptop Notebook Computer Safes

For many home owners, college students and business persons that travel, laptop safes and car safes have quickly become a standard for security and protection from identity theft.

Notebook and especially netbook computers are a common item that is targeted for theft due to the portability. The loss of personal information and data is a risk that can be mitigated with the right steps. This includes password protection as well as physical security. Most laptop computers are never recovered after a theft, but keep in mind these tips.

Laptop Safes
A laptop safe offers several layers of protection from burglary or theft by locking your computer behind a key or electronic keypad. This single action makes it more difficult for a thief to take due to the weight of the safe and 'inconvenience' factor.

Most computer safes can be bolted down or include a security cable for added protection. The bolt down kits are a tremendous deterrent from theft.

Car Safes | Auto Safes
Many safes include bolt down plates for installation inside your vehicle. Additional plates can be used in a desk drawer and allow you to move your safe from car to office and vice versa. With a wide range of sizes available you can easily find a car safe to fit both your laptop and even external hard drives in the mobile environment.

Cable Locks
A simple steel cable lock can be used with your notebook computer to attach it to your desk, file cabinet or any solid structure to prevent theft.

Many of these safes include electronic locks. Changing or replacing the batteries is simple and by doing so every 6 - 12 months you'll never be locked out. All safes with electronic locks have bypass systems that allow you to open them with a key.

Fireproof Files, Receipts and Tax Season

Oh snap, you know it’s that time of year again. America’s favorite time of the year, Tax Season. Not quite as popular as baseball season, but equally important. April 15, 2010 will be here soon and if you haven’t already gotten your fire file cabinet in order, then now is the time! The majority of our clients are businesses, all of them bursting at the seams with receipts, invoices, contracts and purchase orders. All of them have filing cabinets.

We are very fortunate to have a well organized office manager who keeps all of our files orderly and neat. Each file is labeled with tabs and hangs in properly labeled filing drawers. She has cabinet after cabinet for purchase orders and another set of fireproof file cabinets for accounts receivable and accounts payable. One thing is for sure, organization is the key to a well run office! Even if our office manager is out to lunch or on vacation we can find any file at any time. This includes both the original on paper and the electronic version on our file server.

When the New Year is upon us, we move older files to storage, still in fireproof filing cabinets to ensure that they can be retrieved no matter the situation.
New fire files are not the most affordable for everyone. Many small businesses will find that our used fireproof file cabinets are a great choice for those on a budget. Scratch and dent files are often the only choice from many of our clients.

Locks are available on a single drawer or all drawers. When locks are installed on each drawer the safe is referred to as a GSA Approved multi lock container.

For containers used for the storage of computer media (DLT tapes, LTO tapes or external hard drives) it is often recommended that a supplementary container or MediaVault be inserted into the drawer to add fireproof protection.

NOTE: GSA APPROVED CONTAINERS ARE NOT FIRE RATED

There is a common myth that gsa safes have fire ratings and this is not true. The current specifications for Class 6 and Class 5 do not require a fire rating, only a security rating against forced entry.
