Fireproof Cabinets — Expert Answer

What is the difference between a fireproof cabinet and a fire-resistant cabinet?

"Fireproof" is technically a misnomer — no cabinet is completely immune to fire damage given sufficient temperature and duration. The industry-correct term is "fire-resistant." Cabinets marketed as "fire-resistant" without a UL rating may have minimal insulation. A UL-rated fire-resistant cabinet is tested and certified to specific performance standards. Always require the UL listing number and rating class when evaluating a fire-resistant product. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, every fireproof product we carry has a UL listing — call 1-800-460-0858.
