FireMaster: Fire Resistent Cabinets - Home Protection

A small fire can rapidly turn into a raging inferno in a matter of seconds. If your personal documents are to survive such a disaster, they need to be stored in a fire resistent cabinet. Many old safes are no longer fire resistent due to shrinkage and movement in the insulation.

Make sure your documents are kept in a genuine FIREMASTER Fire Resistent cabinet. FIREMASTER Fire Resistent cabinets have been tested to the stringent UL-72 and JIS-S-1037 Fire and Drop Test and will help protect your records should disaster strike unexpectedly.

FIREMASTER Fire Resistent cabinets are tested and approved annually in compliance with the stringent test methods, by the international certification organisations of UL, JIS, SP, KS.

These units are not suitable for storage of cash/or valuables. Please speak to your Firemaster agent about the Guardmaster range of security safes.
