Hi,
I need to store 12 DLT tapes and 12 DAT tapes and a little more room for
some negatives in a fire safe environment. The safe should be able to
hold these for atleast ONE HOUR from any damage.

DAT (2.88 x 2.13 x 0.41 inches) temp - 5 to 32 (degree centigrade)
DLT (4.16 x 4.15 x 1.0 inches) temp - 18 to 26 (degree centigrade)

These are the dimensions and the temperature range it can hold with data
archived in it.

I could hardly find any safe which could satisfy these conditions.

We do not have sprinkler system in our office.

Another option could be storing it in a Bank Safe. But the bank people
near us didn't even know how much temperature the safe could withstand.
But it seems to have a sprinkler system.

Any more ideas or suggestions? Anybody knows any good fire safes which
can satisfy these conditions?

Thanks
