When is it worth investing in a fire-rated vertical file cabinet?

A fire-rated vertical file cabinet is worth the investment when the contents are irreplaceable — original legal documents, financial records, insurance certificates, or regulatory compliance files. The cost of a UL-rated fire-resistant cabinet ($600–$2,500) is small compared to the cost of recreating lost originals. If documents are digitally backed up and can be recreated, a standard steel cabinet may be adequate.
