(Transcript) When it comes to protecting valuables, many individuals and companies may consider a safe as a portable, inexpensive option. However, a vault room provides more security (and room) than a safe for many reasons.
Common vaults are typically made of concrete, which does offer some protection from fire, keeping out smoke and flames. One downside is that at certain high temperatures, concrete releases a steam meant to regulate the inner temperature of the vault. This steam can harm documents and other media. Also, under more extreme conditions, concrete can crumble and even collapse. It is also difficult, if not impossible, to move or modify a concrete vault to meet changing needs or relocation.
FIRELOCK® modular fireproof vaults are certified by an independent, world-class laboratory, and exceed all recommended standards for fire protection. They include fire suppression and climate control features that maintain optimum internal conditions for their ratings during a fire event. They are also modular, meaning they can be custom-fitted to your unique location, and easily moved and reassembled. Call FIRELOCK® for a free estimate today!
