Safebox
A safe box, also incorrectly called a safety deposit box[1] is an individually-secured container, usually held within a larger safe or bank vault. Safe deposit boxes are generally located in banks, post offices or other institutions. Safe deposit boxes are used to store valuable possessions, such as gemstones, precious metals, currency, marketable securities, important documents such as wills, property deeds, and birth certificates, or computer data storage that need protection from theft, fire, flood, tampering or other reasons. Fire resistant record protection equipment consists of self-contained
devices that incorporate insulated bodies, doors, drawers or lids, or
non-rated multi-drawer devices housing individually rated containers
that contain one or more inner compartments for storage of records.
These devices are intended to provide protection to one or more types of
records as evidenced by the assigned Class rating or ratings; Class 350
for paper, Class 150 for microfilm, microfiche other and photographic
film and Class 125 for magnetic media and hard drives. These types of enclosures can be rated for periods of ½, 1, 2 and 4 hour durations. In addition, these enclosures may be rated for their impact
resistance, should the safe fall a number of feet to a lower level or
have debris fall upon it during a fire. Burglary resistant safes are rated as to their resistance to the type
of tools to be used in their attack and also the duration of the
attack. The attack durations are for periods of 15 min., 30 min. and 60 min.
