The Williams Records Firelock Vault

Unsurpassed Data Storage and Media Protection.

Your digital data never had it so good. Cool and secure within the highest-performing media vault in the industry, your critical data remains perfectly preserved and protected against magnetic fields, elements, and fire.

Each vault panel is constructed of specially spun ceramic capable of withstanding thousands of degrees.

Consider this:

Our competitors are using a vault fabricated from sheetrock which can withstand a fire for about seven minutes, or they are using a concrete vault which can withstand the flame for 30 minutes. However, the Williams Firelock Vault, constructed with a high, temperature-resistant, ceramic insulating fiber, structural steel and mesh, can hold off a fire for four hours.

The most danger to media comes from the steam, and transfer of heat to data, not from the flame itself. The Firelock Vault's steel vapor barrier protects against steam. Self-sealing cable trays protect electrical and communications cables against conduit heat transfer similar to radiation shields in nuclear power plants. The thermal break between our vault's double door construction strengthens the heat barrier.

What about protections against a fire starting inside the vault? Our Firelock Vault incorporates 3M's NOVEC 1230 as a clean agent fire suppression system. This media-friendly product is non-conductive, does not leave any residue, and does not deplete the ozone layer.

Humidity and Dust:

Magnetic shielding eliminates electromagnetic fields that can damage media. And advanced environmental controls ensure that dust, humidity, and temperature are optimally maintained to the highest industry standards. A unique steel structural system offers three times the strength of the average building.
