This safe was tested in a burn chamber with external temperatures of 1800 degrees. The inside never rose above 350 degrees for two whole hours. That's amazing! In a common house fire temperatures will only last that hot for the first 15-30 minutes or until the fire department starts pouring water on it. Once that happens the temperature is drastically reduced and the safe can maintain an internal temperature that is much lower than 350 degrees.

The safe is made from solid steel and has solid steel bolts to provide you with a little bit of security for your belongings. It also features a key locking drawer for an additional layer of security. It has an adjustable shelf for easy organization.
