A data safe is a special kind of fire safe, built on the idea that paper can handle more heat than hard drives, tapes and discs, so these safes are built to keep the inside much cooler during a fire. If you mainly store paper, our fireproof safe service page is a better fit.

What Kind of Data Safe Do You Have?

Data safes come in a few common forms, from small chests to tall office cabinets, and the label inside the door usually lists the fire rating and whether it covers media or only paper.

Tall Data Cabinet

A tall, light colored cabinet with shelves for drives and backup tapes is common in server rooms and offices. The electronic lock gets heavy daily use, so dead keypads and forgotten codes are the usual calls.

Media Insert Safe

This style has a thick outer wall with a smaller sealed box inside, which keeps heat and moisture away from discs and drives. If the inner door sticks or its key is lost, we open it without damaging the insert.

Biometric Data Safe

A fingerprint reader usually sits above a backup keypad, and readers can stop seeing prints after a cut finger or a dirty sensor, and the backup code is often forgotten, so we open these with care to keep the reader working.

Combination Fire and Water Safe

A small chest with a dial and a key is often sold for home use, with room for a backup drive or camera. The seal that keeps water out can also trap moisture, and the dial can wear or drift until it no longer opens.

Problems We Fix

How We Handle the Job

2
Proof of ownership
We check that the safe is yours with a receipt, a business record or a similar document.
3

We work the lock, manipulate the dial or bypass a dead keypad before drilling, which is a last resort.

Repair and return to service
A drilled safe is repaired so it locks again, and we set new codes and test the door before leaving.

What Decides the Price

The price of a data safe job depends on the lock, the size of the safe and how it failed, so a dead battery is a short visit, while opening a data cabinet with a failed electronic lock can take more time because the thick walls and seals must be worked around with care. You hear the price before any work starts, and business estimates are free.

Keeping a Data Safe in Las Vegas

Keep a data safe inside the air conditioned part of the building, not in a garage or storage room that bakes all summer. Heat that builds up day after day is hard on drives even without a fire, so bolt the safe to the floor, since a small chest full of backups is easy to carry off.

Monsoon storms can flood low spots quickly, so raise the safe off the floor in any room that has taken water before. Seals that keep water out also hold humidity in, which is why you should add a desiccant pack and open the door now and then. Offices that store client records can have our commercial locksmith team check the server room door locks too.

Questions We Get Asked

What is the difference between a data safe and a regular fire safe?

Both are tested for fire, but a data safe is built to keep the inside much cooler. Paper can handle more heat than hard drives, tapes and discs, so a safe rated only for paper may not protect your backups. Check the label inside the door, which usually says whether it is rated for paper, data or media.

Can you open a data safe without ruining the drives inside?

In most cases we can, because we try non destructive methods first, such as working the lock or bypassing a failed keypad, so the contents are not exposed to heat or debris. If drilling is needed, the spot is chosen with care, and the safe is repaired so it locks again afterward.

Why does my data safe smell damp inside?

The tight seals that keep heat and water out also keep moisture in. A damp smell means humidity is building up, which can harm drives and paper over time. Add a desiccant pack, open the door now and then to let air move, and keep the safe out of hot garages.

Do you need proof of ownership to open a data safe at our office?

Yes, we ask for proof of ownership before opening any safe, such as a business license, lease or purchase record. This protects you and the data inside. Business estimates are free, and you can contact us to set a time before or after office hours.
