Safety and protection features

The two battery-operated smoke detectors provide an audible warning should a fire be detected. No external power supply to the cabinet is required for this.

The LockEX 2.0 locking system is designed to provide controlled pressure relief in the event of an explosive pressure build-up inside the cabinet. The spring mechanism enables the doors to open in a controlled manner to relieve pressure and then close again automatically.

Automatically closing supply and exhaust air vents, as well as special fire-resistant seals, complement the structural safety measures. The vents are also fitted with a cold-smoke-tight sealing system.

FAQ

Standard security cabinets are designed for indoor use, so they cannot be used outdoors.
The fire protection panels installed in the cabinets contain gypsum, which contains a lot of water, which expands when frozen. This deforms the panels. It can no longer be guaranteed that such a cabinet is still sealed or can withstand an explosion.

If you already have a suitable room that is structurally fire-resistant, then you do not necessarily need a safety cabinet to contain the fire.

However, please do not forget that the damage caused by a battery fire involves immense and also toxic contamination, the disposal of which can quickly lead to high costs.

In addition, you may not be able to continue working as usual until the damage has been finally repaired - depending on the location of the damage.
