FIRELOCK® is the world leader in fireproof
vault design with over 1,500 successful vault installations
since 1985. With a FIRELOCK® vault, clients invest in the
highest performing vault on the market today to ensure the
protection of vital and irreplaceable assets.
Digital information is destroyed at
temperatures above 125°F (52°C), yet most vault designs use
concrete or gypsum board which allows the interior vault
temperature to climb above 212°F (100°C) within minutes of a
large-scale fire. FIRELOCK® is unique in our ability to provide
two, three and four-hour rated Class 125 vault chambers,
depending upon the size of the vault.
FIRELOCK® has been the consistent leader in
vault technology with automatic vault closers, insulated cable
trays, smoke barriers and magnetic shielding to ensure the
survival of your information assets.
The integrity and survival of data for
hundreds of diverse applications are entrusted to FIRELOCK®
protective chambers. They include animation cells for some of
the world's most "magical" films; clinical studies, batch
records and research documentation from leading pharmaceutical
manufacturers; digital audio and video collections; presidential
memorabilia and historical documents; Native American artifacts,
and land and deed records; vast global corporate archives; and
financial records for some of our nation's largest banks and
investment houses.
Many businesses worldwide have also chosen
to protect their vital records offsite through our network of
independent media storage providers which all standardize their
vault chamber design on the FIRELOCK® Class 125 Vault Chamber
which provides magnetic shielding and environmental control as
well as clean agent fire suppression within the vault chamber
itself. A vault that will limit the rate of temperature rise to
not exceed 125°F (52°C) will protect media. Most vaults are
constructed of concrete or concrete block to merely protect
paper format records, which allow the temperature to quickly
rise to 212°F (100°C) and 100% relative humidity. Vault chambers
that are to protect computer media cannot exceed 80% relative
humidity without damaging the media. if the temperature rises to
125°F and 100% relative humidity, then the media is destroyed.
Testing requirements by Underwriters Laboratories and the
National Institute of Standards require that media rated safes
and vaults not exceed 125°F and 80% relative humidity in order
to receive a Listing and Label as a protection device.
