Fire proof travel safe

[MOAK]

I’m shopping for a small fireproof safe to carry titles, passports, cash, etc in. There’s one that keeps popping up on Amazon that seems to fit our need. Fire King Sure Seal. Any thoughts? I ask because I hate spending money on junk.

Check out hand gun safes, you can mount them anywhere.

Hmm, I took a look, no mention of fire proof or waterproof, or with mechanical keyed locks.

ive had several SentrySafes over the years and still have a big sentry safe in the closet thats been in use for the last 35+ years.
i havent had a fire, so i cant attest as to how well any of them would do in a situation like that, but the SentrySafe is also UL rated at 1550 degrees for 1/2 hr ..thats pretty much the standard for a fireproof safe and the SentrySafe is about $100 cheaper than the Fire King...which is a nice savings IF they are pretty much the same. they both have the same UL rating, so would have to do a deeper dive and see exactly what differences there are for the extra $$$

i saw a recent write up about a Honeywell safe that looks good. maybe read the article and get some more info...

The Best Fireproof Document Safe

We’ve tested more than a dozen safes over the years, even burning five of them in a controlled fire, to find the best fireproof document safes.

I dunno about vehicle safes, I have a well known safe in my closet which I am happy with until the last fires in LA. I saw a guy go to his burned down house and pick up what was left of the same safe and everything inside was destroyed. I'm thinking the best thing is to keep it on you.

Get a good lockbox. Disregard trying to carry safe in a vehicle that is fire resistant. Vehicle fires often burn much too hot for them to do much good, especially if you are traveling and the response to a rural vehicle fire is not the fastest. The one in the picture only burned for about 10 minutes before being extinguished if it hadn’t been so close to a lane of traffic I doubt we would have used the water on it given the temps in the 20s.

I have a console safe from Lock’er Down, which has sadly closed up shop. I love that it’s hidden and reasonably secure. An alternative is Console Vault. I can’t personally speak to their capabilities, but it seems to be the closest alternative.
