As with all Chubb fire protection cabinets, the effectiveness of the Profile Series File has been proven in many office situations around the world.

Proven fire performance

In addition to Chubb’s own stringent fire testing, Fire File cabinets are independently tested by the Underwriters Laboratory in Chicago and awarded Class 350, 2 hour label for protecting paper from fire.

• Furnace exposure to over 1000°C
   
• Slow cooling to simulate being buried in hot rubble
   
• A 9.1m drop test duplicates conditions of a floor collapsing in a fire, (a test that the Fire File passes due to the high integral strength of its design). At no stage during the test did the internal temperature of the cabinet exceed the safe storage temperature for paper: 170°C.
   
• More adaptable for floor loading limitations than other 2 hour files
  
   

Construction for the purpose

Available in two, three or four drawer sizes, three robust filing cabinets contain a minimum of 38mm of fire proofing all round, with intumescent seals around each drawer to close up tolerances in the event of fire. Fire resistant bulkheads between each drawer ensure that they are individually insulated. A shock absorbing plinth provides maximum impact absorption in the case of floor collapse.

Heavy duty drawer slides are fully ‘life-tested’ and a day catch fitted to each drawer ensures that they stay shut even if the cabinet is unlocked during a fire. Drawers are designed to ensure smooth operation.
