How to Open a Fireproof Safe

Secure your precious keepsakes and valuable papers with a fireproof safe in your home. Placing items like family photos, jewelry, wills and stock certificates in a fireproof safe will protect these items in the unfortunate event of a fire. The safe will also protect your valuables against theft by unauthorized individuals. It is important that you remember how to unlock and open your fireproof safe.

Instructions

- 1
  Insert the key into the fireproof safe and turn it in the direction required to unlock the safe.

  Enter the pass code you originally selected for the safe. This is typically a four- or five-digit number. You may hear an unlocking sound after the code has been correctly entered.
