See how FireKing delivers premium protection at the moment of truth.

After the Palisades Fire, virtually everything had been disintegrated into ash. The outside of the filing cabinet was horrific looking, but it did its job. Inside, all of our valuable papers were completely intact. Our passports were pristine. Our deeds were perfect. Our will and trusts were just fine. We just wish we had put more in it. Under its lifetime warranty, FireKing provided us with a new one.

FAQs

What fire protection ratings should we require for patient record storage?

HIPAA requires patient records be protected from physical hazards including fire. FireKing recommends UL Class 350 fire-rated filing cabinets and media safes for paper records. Class 350 means interior temperatures won't exceed 350°F—the threshold at which paper chars. For digital records stored on media such as USB drives or CDs, FireKing files are ETL-rated for 30 minutes from heat-related damage.

Are FireKing products compliant with HIPAA storage requirements?

FireKing's fire-resistant filing and storage solutions directly support HIPAA's Physical Safeguard requirements (§164.310), which mandate protection of PHI from environmental hazards. Our UL-rated fire-resistant cabinets and access-controlled security products satisfy the administrative, physical, and technical safeguard requirements that auditors and compliance officers look for.

What's the best solution for securing medical office records in a multi-physician practice?

We recommend lateral fire-resistant filing cabinets for high-volume active records. Adding combination or electronic lock options eliminates key management headaches common in shared-staff environments. Or locks on each drawer for each practice.

Why is fire-rated storage important in healthcare facilities?

Fire-rated storage protects patient records, medications, and sensitive documents from fire, water, and unauthorized access.

What FireKing products are best for hospitals and clinics?

FireKing offers fire-rated file cabinets, safes, and vertical/lateral files designed to protect medical records and comply with regulations.

How do FireKing products help with compliance?

They support HIPAA and other regulations by securing sensitive patient data against disasters and theft.

Can FireKing products withstand water damage from sprinklers?

Yes. Many FireKing products are designed to protect water damage from sprinklers and fire-hose spray in the event of a fire.

Are FireKing cabinets HIPAA compliant for storing physical patient records?

Yes. HIPAA requires “reasonable safeguards” for protected health information (PHI). FireKing cabinets with high-security locks provide the physical barrier and access control necessary to meet these federal privacy standards.

Do you offer “End-Tab” filing solutions for medical charts? 

Yes. FireKing’s Medical Record Storage Cabinets are specifically designed for end-tab filing, allowing healthcare facilities to maintain their existing filing systems while adding 1-hour UL fire protection.
