How does a UL Class 350 fire-rated record cabinet protect paper documents during a fire?

A UL Class 350 rating ensures the internal temperature stays below 350°F for one hour, preventing paper from igniting or charring. This level is specifically designed for preserving paper records during intense fire exposure.

Is the Schwab 1844-CN the right size for a growing records room?

The 1844-CN offers 44" of interior height and adjustable shelving, making it well-suited for expanding paper archives. If your volume is expected to grow significantly, larger Schwab models like the 1856-CN may be worth considering.

What interior accessories do Sacramento offices commonly add to the Schwab 1844-CN?

Many offices add roll-out shelves for easier access, lockable drawers for sensitive files, or hanger bars for printouts. These accessories can be added over time as workflows change.

What Makes the Schwab Corp. | 1844-CN Fire Rated Record Cabinet Model Special

Level 3 out of 10 Security

The Schwab 1844-CN is engineered specifically for record protection, focusing on structural integrity during extreme events rather than burglary deterrence. It is UL tested for fire, impact, and explosion resistance, helping ensure the cabinet remains intact even during floor collapse scenarios. The solid cabinet construction and precision-fit door reduce gaps that could compromise contents during emergencies. A key-locking mechanism helps restrict casual or unauthorized access to sensitive records. This design supports organizations that need dependable protection without overspending on unnecessary features.

60 minute fire rating | UL Class 350

This cabinet carries a U.L. Class 350 1-Hour fire rating, meaning it keeps internal temperatures below 350°F for at least one hour when exposed to external temperatures up to 1,700°F. That threshold is critical for paper, which can char or ignite at higher temperatures. Schwab’s proprietary Insulite™ insulation is poured into a pre-constructed frame, providing consistent fire-resistant performance without excessive bulk. For Northern California offices and homes concerned about fire response times, this rating offers a meaningful safety buffer. It is designed strictly for paper records, not digital media.
