In use
Set it up, drop in the folders and the household filing is done. The wall is three layers of silicone-coated fiberglass, rated to 2200°F. Reflective strips help you find the box in the dark. Handles adjust in length, so one person can carry it loaded.
Check before you buy
- You file in hanging folders, letter or legal.
- You want a lock on the box.
- The box will mostly stay in one place.
Pick another one if
It has no wheels, and a full box of paper is heavy. If you move files between rooms, the rolling box is kinder to your back. For a higher heat rating in the same shape, see the 5200°F file box.

4.6 out of 5 from 2,926 ratings.
Great Protection and Plenty of Storage
I bought this to organize and protect important household documents, and I'm very pleased with it. It feels sturdy for a collapsible file box, the hanging folders fit nicely, and there's plenty of room for paperwork without taking up a lot of space.I especially like the handles, lock, and extra storage pockets inside the lid. Everything is easy to organize and the entire box can be picked up and moved if needed.I can't personally speak to how it would perform in an actual fire or water emergency, but as a well-designed, portable document organizer with added protection, it does exactly what I wanted.Definitely a good option for keeping household records organized in one place.
Perfect file storage for important documents.
This is a good purchase and good value. I've been looking for a document box to accommodate personal files that was well made, sturdy and easy to grab and go. This DocSafe fit the bill perfectly. It's sturdy and hanging folders easily fit and stay put. There's extra room in the box for a binder or two. The extra mesh pockets are a nice feature. The handles are reinforced and adjustable for easy carry. There is a double zipper that can be latched and inserted into the lock mechanism (I haven't tried this feature) for extra security if needed. The lid folds over the sides and is secured with Velcro. I highly recommend this document box.
Perfect!
I love the functionality of this fireproof document box. It fits the file folders perfectly. The zipper pockets hold the little documents and memorabilia great. I love the Velcro flaps over the zipper. I definitely think it feels pretty heavy duty. I like the size and ease of how able to carry it if needed. The lock on it is easy to use, although I don't lock mine often. Perfect for what I needed. Definitely think it was worth the money.
Surprisingly Nice
Obviously I haven't put it to the test, but this surprised my family when I said it was fireproof and waterproof. It's also surprisingly durable despite being collapsible. The material is reinforced. Zipper and Velcro are nice for security. The zipper is a little hard to get into the locking mechanism, but it works well once you get it in. Spacious and doesn't rely on batteries or a key.
