The media could not be loaded. Bought this fireproof document box about 2 months ago to organize and protect important family documents in one central location. The size is generous at 16.1 x 12.9 x 11 inches and easily holds passports, birth certificates, insurance papers, and photo albums with room to spare. The mesh pocket on the lid is handy for frequently accessed items like current bills or receipts. The aluminum foil lining gives it a serious fireproof appearance though obviously I can’t test the 5200°F claim without destroying it. However, setting the combination lock has been frustrating - it took several attempts following the instructions to get it programmed correctly, and even now it sometimes doesn’t open on the first try despite entering the right code. The double zipper system works smoothly when the lock cooperates. The handles make it easy to carry when full and the reflective strips are a thoughtful safety feature. The PP material construction feels sturdy and the box maintains its shape even when packed full. The anti-static exterior does seem to repel dust better than regular plastic storage boxes. The non-slip pads on the bottom keep it stable on shelves. The waterproof claim seems accurate based on a few minor spill tests. For document organization it’s excellent with plenty of space for growing families’ paperwork. The folding capability is useful for storage when empty. Build quality seems solid for long-term use. Would recommend mainly for the storage capacity and peace of mind, just be patient with the lock setup process. Read more
These look like Christmas ornament containers I have. I put Important papers and albums in the 3 container boxes I purchased. I like that they are fire and water proof, but I can’t say for sure since I have not tested them. Living in California I wanted this to protect my priceless wedding album and important documents. I am thinking about purchasing the smaller bags that will hold my jewelry. So many people lost their homes here this past month in the California fires and I thought it was time for me to get organized after hearing their stories of items people lost in the fires. They are large and hold a lot and I like that they have a zipper and a lock. Seems to be of good quality. Read more
I’m moving into a new apartment and not taking my file-locking desk. I needed something that would make me feel more secure holding my important documents and passport and stuff that could fit into a cabinet, but still be secure. This little box was just the thing! Although it’s collapsible, once opened it feels pretty sturdy and stays up on its own. I love the zipper lock on the side and the material feels good. File folders (sold separately) sit perfectly inside without interfering with the zipper or lid at all. For simple things in a small place this file box is perfect. When I eventually get a gun I would not use this, I would get an actual safe. But for documents and things to keep tucked away secure, this is perfect. Read more
Been having this for over a year now. Zipper works fine. Handles are nice and sturdy which makes the box easy to lift. I cannot tell if it’s waterproof as I have not had water spill onto it. The material of the box is a tad bit sticky but I’m assuming it’s this material for a reason? (Hopefully truly fireproof) the box is large in size and can store alot of items. I like the pockets along the sides for extra storage Read more
Love this fireproof file box. It’s got lots of additional pockets inside and out. I also love that it opens on the side like a file drawer. This someone helps with the organization. I was able to use hanging file folders in it. The silver trim abs study handles made it attractive and easy to move. I got this for important papers but plan to get another one of these styles fire my coloring books because of its storage capacity and pockets to house colored pencils and markers and other art supplies! It would be perfect for that use! Read more
Good product. I took a lighter to some places for fun and it withstood no problem. Bonus is they store in my basement shelving really nice Read more
The lock is a good security measure, but seems almost useless. It's not exactly difficult to carry off and you could probably cut into it with a sharp enough tool. However, it's good for peace of mind. This would also work much better in a drawer-type style. The top of the box is a zip cover so it flips up, which means if you don't want to move it to open it, you need to have it in a place where there's enough room above the box to be able to flip the lid up. You're otherwise lugging it around and if you have it filled with documents (or items), it could get hefty. The other issue I've found is that the hanging file folders don't slide very easily or well on the edge that seems to be designed for file folders. They end up falling off the edge if you aren't extremely careful. On way around this is to put in perfectly sized bins for file folders (but again adding weight to the box). Despite its shortcomings, the box is more or less functional and has a lot of nifty pockets. For the price, it provides some sense of security for important documents and helps keep you orgainzed.

Still going strong! I got this for when my husband and I got married in 2021 to start keeping our important documents in one place. I love knowing exactly where everything is. It has plenty of room for growing. I feel like my things are safe. I’m so grateful I started this early. Read more
