Q: Are floor safes fireproof?

A: Floor safes are great for burglar protection but only offer limited protection against fire. The 5 sides of the safe are surrounded by concrete and will protect the heat from getting inside as long as it is installed correctly (3” of concrete around all sides). The door however is exposed and has no fire material to protect it. It is made of steel only and will heat up in a fire which may damage or destroy your contents. Floor safe manufacturers cannot submit floor safes to Underwriters Laboratory or an independent lab like Intek to test them for a fire rating. This means that all floor safes do not have a lab-tested fire rating.

We do offer an option for some fire-and water-resistant bags that you can put important items you want to keep protected from a fire. Although these bags do not offer a fire rating, they will offer some fire resistance in the event of a fire. We have two sizes available.

If you want to protect large amounts of cash or important documents from a fire, we do not recommend an in-ground floor safe. Once the temperature reaches 451 degrees F inside a floor safe, all the cash and paperwork will burst into flames. If you need both burglar & fire protection, we recommend looking at our burglar & fire safes which can be bolted to a concrete or wood floor.
