DEPOSITORY SAFES:
When a business needs to stash away cash or valuables during working hours, a depository safe provides convenience and  short-term security on the premises. Depository safes come in a range of designs that allow options on lock compartments, drop slots, locking systems, and fire / security ratings.

DATA SAFES:
 A Data Safe is similar to a fire safe but to be effective, must in the event of a fire, maintain a much lower internal temperature than a fire safe (less than 52 degrees C - the point at which data media is destroyed). Because CDs, computer disks, microfiche and other types of electronically-stored information are more sensitive than paper to heat, moisture, and magnetic fields, a data safe plays a critical role in protecting irreplaceable records. This specialized safe protects against magnetic fields, fire, burglary, tampering, and dust. Data safes should carry a one- or two-hour UL fire and impact rating.

[UL Underwriters' Laboratories (UL) - UL is a non-profit, non-bias agency that tests and rates the safety and performance of consumer products. Safes that have earned specific UL ratings will carry a UL label which designates the product's security and fire-protection ratings. The UL listing is the only testing process fully recognized by insurance companies worldwide.]
