1. What does it mean when it says "media" safe?

When the term media is used in describing a fireproof safe or cabinet it is referring to the material that is stored inside. Media is anything from computer disks to microfilm. Anything in this category needs to carry the UL 125 fireproof rating to be protected.

2. Are all products that are "tested to UL standards" really fireproof?

Not all products that are tested by UL are actually fireproof. Many manufacturers of "Fireproof" equipment advertise that they are "UL tested." However, being UL tested and actually passing the test are two very different labels. It is very important to distinguish between these fireproof products. All 'fireproof' products on the K.L. Security Website have all passed the UL Tests for their appropriate temperature and time ratings.

3. What should I look for to determine if the fireproof product I am purchasing actually passed the UL tests?

In order to determine whether a fireproof safe or fireproof filing cabinet is "UL tested" or actually classified by UL as passing the UL 72 fireproof tests you need to check the label. If the product just says "UL tested" it most likely did not pass the test. If the product did pass you will see one of the following labels:

4. Are all fireproof files impact tested?

No, not all fireproof filing cabinets or fireproof safes are impact tested. In order to be listed as a fireproof file cabinet the protection unit the equipment must pass the UL fire and impact test as part of the UL 72 testing standards. To simulate the fall that a fireproof cabinet or fireproof safe may incur during the collapse of a floor in a structural fire, the product is heated to between 1460 To top
