Legal documents deserve FireKing protection.

With increasing digital threats, strict privacy laws, and requirements to preserve records for years, safeguarding physical records and maintaining disaster protection is essential. The legal and law enforcement professions 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
  • ETL ½ Hour fire-rated for digital media

There is no higher standard. 

FireKing is a recognized satellite testing center for UL and Interek, resulting in unmatched performance in the world’s most regulated environments. 

Fire-safe storage for critical documents.

The loss of client records due to fire can result in ethics violations, malpractice exposure and regulatory penalties. 

With ABA, state bar rules and digital threats, safeguarding information is more critical than ever. The loss of client records due to fire can result in ethics violations, malpractice exposure, and regulatory penalties. Law firms, courts, and law enforcement regularly  handle a wide range of essential documents that would benefit from high-level protection:

Court rulings, judgements and verdicts
Wills, trusts, and deeds
Physical and digital evidence (hard drives and surveillance footage)
Affidavits and depositions
Case filings
Legal documents and contracts

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 are the storage requirements for client files under bar association rules?

Most state bar associations require that client files—including confidential communications and work product—be stored securely and protected from loss, theft, and destruction for a minimum of 5–7 years after matter closure (varies by state). FireKing's UL Class 350 fire-resistant filing cabinets with locking mechanisms are the standard of care for law firm file storage.

How do we protect original wills, deeds, and trust documents?

Original irreplaceable legal instruments deserve the highest level of protection available. FireKing recommends a UL Class 350, 2-hour rated fire-resistant cabinet for original wills, deeds, trust agreements, and bearer instruments.

We're a large firm with thousands of active and closed files — what's your high-density solution?

For large-volume law firm file rooms, FireKing's high-capacity lateral fire-resistant file cabinets can be configured in rows. Our team can assist with layout planning to maximize file capacity per square foot while maintaining fire-rated protection.

Do you have products that can store both paper files and digital backup media?

Yes. FireKing offers combination media-and-document safes as well as modular systems. Our UL Class 350 fire-rated file cabinets protect paper, and a ETL 30-minute rating to protect hard drives and USB drives. Tapes will require a class 125 rating.

Can I get a lock that logs who accessed the cabinet and when?

Yes. FireKing offers electronic lock upgrades on many cabinet models that include access logging, audit trail capability, and multi-user PIN management. This is increasingly requested by law firms under attorney-client privilege and confidentiality obligations, as well as by firms undergoing ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification. Electronic locks can also be rekeyed instantly by changing PINs.

Do you have cabinets specifically for legal-sized documents? 

Absolutely. We offer both Vertical and Lateral files in legal-width configurations. Lateral files are particularly popular in law firms as they offer higher storage density for high-volume litigation files.

Can different drawers be assigned to different partners?

Yes. FireKing cabinets can be configured with Key-Abel locks, allowing each drawer to have a unique key, or a “Master Key” system where one key opens the entire unit while individual drawers remain restricted.

Why is fireproof storage critical for law firms?

Legal documents must be preserved and protected from fire, water, and theft.

What FireKing solutions are best for legal offices?

Fire-rated lateral files and safes for storing case files and evidence.

Can FireKing products help with confidentiality?

Yes, they include locking mechanisms and secure designs.

Do FireKing products protect long-term records?

Yes, they are designed for long-term document preservation.
