Fireproof Cabinets — Expert Answer
What does a fireproof filing cabinet actually cost, and what drives the price differences?
Fireproof filing cabinet pricing is driven primarily by drawer count, UL fire rating, and whether the unit is rated for paper or digital media: a 2-drawer letter-size cabinet with a 1-hour UL rating typically runs $800–$1,500, a 4-drawer vertical with a 1-hour rating comes in at $1,500–$3,000, and a 4-drawer lateral with the same rating ranges from $2,500–$5,000. Units with 2-hour ratings or impact resistance (tested for building collapse) add 20–40% to these figures, and Class 125 data-rated cabinets that protect electronic media carry a further premium. Spread across a 10-to-20-year service life, the per-year cost of protecting irreplaceable records is remarkably low. Call 888-719-4960 or browse fireproof cabinet options at FindOfficeFurniture.com.
