<p>A fire-resistant container (10) for use as a safe. The container (10) is formed of steel (12) and is lined on its inner surface with fire-resistant materials (38, 38a). The preferred fire-resistant materials include mineral-filled paper-faced sheet material, commonly known as 'sheetrock' (38), 'gypsum board' (38), or 'dry wall' (38). The sheet material is provided in various thicknesses depending upon the location within the container (10). An air space (46) is also provided in resistant materials (38, 38a) and the wall (30, 32, 34, 36). A front wall (54) of the container (10) is formed with an offset jamb (18) for receiving a safe door (14) having a conventional combination lock (20) controlling a plurality of livebolts (22) which are engaged behind a flange (25) formed in the jamb (18). The door (14) is fitted with fire-resistant materials (38, 38a) in similar fashion to the container walls, (30, 32, 34,36) preferably magnesium board (28), and the jamb (18) is gasketed (66) in intumenscent material. A fire-resistant container (10) with the invention meets Sentry Self-Test 1 and is suitable for storage of paper documents, firearms, and other valuables.</p> |
