Office security systems and document storage

How to Choose a Document Security Cabinet for the Office

Choosing a security solution for the office requires careful analysis of your needs. To navigate the wide range of secure document storage cabinets, it is crucial to consider some key factors:

• Type and volume of documents: Are you storing standard folders, accounting records, hanging files, or data supports like hard disks and magnetic tapes? Capacity and internal configuration (adjustable shelves, drawers) are the primary criteria for selection.
• Level of risk: Assess the specific threats to your business. Is the office in a high-theft area? Is fire protection the main concern? The answers will guide you towards fireproof document cabinets or models with high anti-burglary certification.
• Space and installation: The destination environment determines the type of installation. An office safe cabinet can be freely positioned and fixed to the floor or wall, while a wall safe offers a more discreet, integrated solution.
• Lock systems: The choice of lock affects security and access management. Options range from the traditional double-bit key to mechanical or electronic combinations, and advanced systems with time delay, time lock, and audit trail to track every opening. A key-operated document cabinet offers simplicity, while an electronic one provides greater flexibility.

Document Security Cabinets: Capacity and Organisation

When the volume of documents to protect is significant, freestanding security cabinets represent the top solution. Designed to maximise storage capacity, these cabinets feature robust, height-adjustable internal shelves, ideal for filing folders, binders, and records. The high-strength monoblock steel structure and the presence of bolts on multiple sides of the door ensure superior protection against break-in attempts. Their versatility makes them perfect for archives, administrative offices, and legal practices, where order and security must go hand in hand.

Fireproof Cabinets for Paper Documents: Fire Protection

Fireproof document cabinets are specifically designed to protect contracts, notarial deeds, or personnel archives from threats such as fires. Thanks to special insulating materials inserted in the walls and door, these cabinets are certified to withstand high temperatures for periods of 60 or 120 minutes, keeping the internal temperature well below 177°C, the critical threshold for paper. Opting for fireproof document security cabinets means investing in business continuity and protecting the historical and legal memory of the company.
