Can this be used on a fire proof file cabinet?

If you can drill a hole in it, it will work. I've seen this type of bar used on a fire proof, so I bet the holes can be drilled.

I have bought three of these to use on aluminum/standard filing cabinets. Holes must be drilled into the cabinet to put the locking bar on. There are 4-5 places that must be drilled into the cabinet for the securing screws. Two concerns regarding use on a fire proof file cabinet: 1) the thickness and/or difficulty of drilling holes into the cabinet. You would need the proper drill bit. 2) the possibility of compromising the integrity of the fire-proof file cabinet. I can not answer regarding that specific concern. This might void any warranty with the cabinet. I would contact the company that sells the filing cabinet and ask this question. It is an excellent one.

No, I would not advise it. They are made out of pressed wood and after you add your files the extra weight may cause the bottom filing cabinet to become unsteady. That is my advice / opinion, I hope it helps. Sincerely, Linda J Miller

Not really. I use it mainly for arts and craft supplys. I neatly stack things on top of each other and roll it where I have to go. To use it just for files, you could get a filing hanger out of and old filing cabinet and cut it to the right deminition and install it inside of carrier. A lot of work. I would say NO.

I use mine for mig welding and they are awesome - perfect for mig welding. But they are not strictly speaking fire-proof.

I would say yes only if you have a very small and controlled fire, like a fire log. It is high enough off the ground not to cause issues, but, keep it covered when burning, and do not leave unattended.

I don't think so I don't remember reading it but the cost of it was so low I can't imagine it being fireproof. Sorry.

I have never used it in a small area such as a cabinet, but I suspect it will work just fine. It's certainly a non-chemical method that can not cause any harm.

That I can't answer. To tell the truth, I really don't like this file cabinet. It's much too light weight. I would call the company if I were you and see what they have to say.

I would think so as long as the surface is compatable and dry. I used it for the underside of drawers for a sliding surface and after pressing the strip to the finished wood using a hard metal tool it has stayed fastened and slippery after a year.

I have the booklet that came with it and it does not say anything about being fire rated but the closer I installed is too stiff for this 36 inch door you can barley push it opened, You could put it on the out side of the door,

it is not recommended to do so, and it may also depend on your local fire codes as well. the best instructions are included with the package as to the proper place to mount-it.

Sure it can, but it has to be screwed into it. Just make sure the cabinet is thick enough that the screws won't poke through the other side.

No I would not consider it fireproof. How long it would last I don't know. I bought it for locking up keys at our office and nothing else.

yes it can and will just be careful when you install it.you may have to use spacers to keep the screws from penetrating into the interior of the cabinet

Sure, as long as the files or data or Apps are not written for the Fire Operating system (based on Android, but not exactly the same).

Yes, it is fire proof. Unfortunantly, I don't remember the time and temperature rating and I am not at home to check any paperwork. I was satisfied with the rating for keeping paper document and jewelry in the safe.

I would think so. I put in on the inside of the sink cabinet, just used a different screw so it wouldn't damage the wood.
