Are fireproof filing cabinets available with a 3-hour fire rating?

Yes, some commercial fireproof filing cabinets carry a 3-hour UL fire rating. These are significantly thicker, heavier, and more expensive than 1- or 2-hour rated models. A 3-hour rating is appropriate for facilities in high-risk locations, remote areas where fire department response times are long, or where critical records must survive major building fires. Most commercial offices find 1- or 2-hour ratings adequate. OfficeFurniture2go.com can source 3-hour rated cabinets on request — call 1-800-460-0858.
