The rating protects paper. Hard drives, USB sticks, discs and film need an interior kept below 125°F, and this safe makes no such claim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIt is not water rated. No claim is made. A house fire usually brings a great deal of water from the hoses, so keep papers in sealed bags inside if that matters to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIt is not a long-gun safe. The interior is 27.25 inches tall, which is too short for a rifle or shotgun. Handguns fit; long guns need a taller cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIt is not a UL burglary-rated safe. No burglary listing is claimed. A recessed steel door, a hard plate over the lock and bolts on three sides make it slow work for a thief, but it is a home safe, not a commercial one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOn the maker\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAmerican Security make safes in Fontana, California, from small home units through to high-security commercial safes.
