Fire Chests are designed to protect documents and sometimes digital media from fire and water damage. Although they have a lock, they are not deemed particularly secure. Additionally a potential thief could easily carry a fire chest away.

Ideally you should consider one of our Waterproof Safes. These include fire and water protection, a much more secure lock and include the option to be bolted to the floor.

Drilling holes in the unit would compromise the fire and water protection and would also invalidate the warranty.

Downward pressure needs to be applied to the top of the safe whilst turning the key to release the latch mechanism.
