Not even most physical locks are reliable/secure:Are digital locks reliable, any real world impressions of using these?
ThanksI have seen a melted computer tape which was in a fireproof safe. I think fire proof and small and mobile are mutually exclusive. Anything with a digital lock is not going to 'easy' open after a fire. Off site backup is what should be used.
A cautionary tale...important documents & back-up drives
When you say not 'easy' to open, do you know what the solution is, just cut it open?
Maybe get a fireproof one and put it inside a larger waterproof one. Or vice versa. Can't be too careful, especially if you don't have insurance.
- 1/2 or 1 hour fire rating, in a serious house fire in the suburbs, does a 1/2 rating safe typically provide protection, especially to data?
- Does anybody know how good the water protection is, especially after say 10 years and then a fire?
Thanks for that.MASTER LOCK LCFW30100 Waterproof Fire Tested 1 Hour Safe

This is what I bought and use.
Very heavy to carry.
I use it for important documents that wouldn’t be valuable to a burglar.
I lock it but leave the key in the lock.
Stored low on ground floor on a shelf, not surrounded by too many combustibles (cooler in a fire).
Very impressed with quality.
