<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1415963, member: 13650"]The ratings can be misleading. Most manufacturers do their own fire testing and theres alot of different measures by which they decide on how long a safe can hold up in a fire. Some tests are more telling than others. No material or amount of fire protection will be able to hold up if it is subjected to hours of heat with no cool down. It is best to use media containers/additional fire safes within a good safe for max protection. I dont want my slabs to melt or coins to turn colors from heat. Even the ratings these companies list allow for the interior of the safe to reach over 300 degrees within their rated times.</p><p> A residential security container rating is not really that outstanding of a burglary rating. But anything considered should have this rating at a minimum. If anyones considering something that couldnt even obtain that rating, forget about it unless youre only goal is to keep the kids out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
