Safe in a File

Safe-in-a-File

A Safe in a File is perhaps one of the best buys when it comes to investing in security solutions that provide security yet do not compromise on functionality at all. Initially it will appear like any other four drawer steel filing cabinet kept in the corner of your office. However the truth lies beneath as there is a complete UL listed safe hidden within. All the most important and valuable documents, money and other small valuables are thus protected from thefts and fires. If you have been looking for a security solution that merges easily with your environment but does not compromise on protection at all, this is the thing for you.

What Exactly Is a Safe in a File?

A Safe in a File is not your average office furniture. It’s a hybrid security product, part filing cabinet, part high security safe. The construction of the unit is made up of hot-rolled steel, which is about one-fifth of an inch thick. This gives the unit the strength and toughness of a commercially manufactured safe but retains the external looks of an ordinary filing cabinet.

Internally, the safe compartment is made of quarter-inch thick steel walls with a UL listed Group II combination lock and can accommodate 2.4 cubic feet of internal space. The top drawer opens up horizontally to give access to the internal safe compartment hidden behind the filing cabinet.

Why Choose a Safe in a File Cabinet?

Business owners and homeowners alike are turning to a Safe in a File Cabinet because it solves two problems at once: storage and security. Here’s why this product continues to gain popularity:

  • Discreet protection – It can be placed in any office environment without raising suspicion.
  • Dual protection – It provides you with both a functional filing cabinet as well as a safe all in one.
  • Fire proof protection – The safe as well as the filing cabinets have been designed using fire resistant material.
  • Tamper protection – An automatic relock feature locks the bolt work when there is an attempt made to breach it.
  • Customization options – Customize it with a spy proof dial, modular alarm system, lockers, drawers or even a coin rack.


Whether you’re protecting legal files, cash, jewelry, or sensitive business records, a Safe in a File Cabinet gives you peace of mind without giving up valuable floor space.

Considering Certified Used Safes? Here’s What to Know

Everyone does not require a new unit, and here comes the importance of certified used safes. At First Security Safes, we know how important money is to our customers; that is why we are offering you our certified used safes, which have the same safety features as any new unit but at an affordable price.

Certified used safes go through an intensive inspection procedure to verify the locking system, steel, and fire rating are in perfect condition. Certified used safes are best for start-ups, small businesses, or any homeowner looking for good quality at an economical price range.

The Value of Used Fire Safes

Fire protection is one of the most important features to look for in any safe, and used fire safes are a smart, cost-effective way to secure your documents against disaster. Fires can destroy irreplaceable paperwork, contracts, and family documents in minutes. A quality used fire safe gives you a layer of protection that a standard filing cabinet simply cannot offer.

Just like our certified used safes, used fire safes at First Security Safe are inspected and verified to ensure the fireproof seals and insulation are still performing as intended.

High Security Safes Built for Real-World Threats

In regard to security for precious items, not all safes are made the same. High security safes, including the Safe in a File, are manufactured to resist any physical attempt at breaking into the safe as well as any environmental risk, including fire. The design of high security safes includes elements such as UL rated locks and solid steel construction.
