Education records deserve FireKing protection.

With increasing digital threats and strict privacy laws like FERPA, safeguarding physical records remains critical. Schools must ensure protection against fire, unauthorized access, and loss—because when these records are compromised, recovery can be almost impossible.

  • UL Class 350 Fire Rated up to 2 hours
  • Keeps internal contents below 350°F, the flashpoint for paper
  • External testing temps up to 1850°F
  • Insulated steel construction engineered for extreme heat
  • Independently tested to ensure real-world performance

There is no higher standard.

Mandated fire-safe storage items.

Transcripts and academic records 
Enrollment data
Budget, financial aid, and funding forms
Health records

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

How can we protect student transcripts from both fire and water damage?

The FireKing Turtle and Patriot series offer 1-hour fire protection and is designed to be water-resistant against sprinkler systems and fire hoses, ensuring student records remain legible after an incident.

Are there mobile options for classroom use? 

Yes. FireKing offers Mobile Fire-Rated File Cabinets on heavy-duty casters. These allow teachers or administrators to move sensitive files to a secure “safe room” or different office as needed without sacrificing protection.

What do we need to store student records to comply with FERPA?

FERPA requires that student educational records be protected from unauthorized access and loss. FireKing's fire-resistant filing cabinets with locking mechanisms directly address the physical safeguard requirements. District-level student record rooms typically use lateral 4-drawer fire files, individual school offices use vertical 4-drawer cabinets with combination locks to limit access.

We need to secure high-stakes test materials before administration — what do you recommend?

For standardized test material security, FireKing's fire-resistant cabinets with tamper-evident combination locks are ideal. The College Board and most state testing programs require test materials be stored in a locked, secure location inaccessible to students. Our combination-lock lateral files meet these requirements.

What's the best option for a school district's central records storage room?

Central records rooms benefit most from high-capacity lateral fire-resistant file cabinets arranged in rows for maximum density. For permanent records such as transcripts, we recommend 2-hour UL fire-rated products. An electronic lock upgrade adds access control and audit log capability increasingly required under state education records laws.

Why do schools need fireproof storage?

To protect student records, administrative files, and important documents.

What FireKing products are ideal for schools?

Fire-rated file cabinets and safes for administrative offices.

Do FireKing products help with student data protection?

Yes, they provide secure storage to help meet privacy requirements.

Are there budget-friendly options for schools?
