ENGPOW EG0027 Fireproof File Boxes, 2-Pack, Locking and Collapsible

When your priority is keeping paperwork organized, a standard file container may do the job, when you also want portable, fire-resistant storage, the ENGPOW EG0027 adds a locking design and a protective outer material. This two-box set is sized for letter- and legal-size hanging folders, with pockets for smaller valuables and a handle for carrying files between rooms or locations.

Use the boxes as a home-office filing system, or keep important records together for easier transport. Their collapsible design also makes them practical when you need to reclaim storage space between uses.

What you’ll notice day to day

Each box measures 15.55" x 12.2" x 10" and is made from double-layer, silicone-coated fiberglass. The material is described as fireproof and water-resistant, and the design has passed the UL94 V-0/5VA flame-retardant test. The manufacturer states resistance to temperatures up to 2000°F. These features add a layer of protection for documents and personal records, while the dust-resistant exterior helps keep the box neat in everyday storage.

The interior is designed for letter- and legal-size hanging folders. Mesh pockets in the lid, side pockets, and label slots give smaller items and labels a place of their own, so documents, passports, USB drives, or photos can be grouped with the files they belong to. A reflective strip on the side helps make the box easier to spot in low light.

The zipper closure and combination lock bring files together in a portable container, while the adjustable handle makes carrying it more convenient. If you need a mobile filing setup rather than a fixed cabinet, the handle, folder-compatible dimensions, and collapsible body make this format useful for moving paperwork between a home office and another workspace. Customer feedback also frequently highlights the roomy capacity and portability, comments on the lock and zipper are mixed.

Worth noting

The set contains two file boxes and an instruction manual. Each box has a rectangular shape and one main compartment, with pockets and label slots for organizing smaller items. For everyday filing, the folder-friendly format keeps records grouped, for temporary storage, the boxes collapse when they are not in use. Choose this style when you want portable document storage with added fire and water resistance rather than a stationary organizer focused only on keeping folders in order.

The combination lock is resettable. Its original setting is 0-0-0, and the included instructions explain how to set a personal combination. Remember the combination you choose so you can access the contents when needed.

Usage tips

Set the personal combination before storing important documents, following the included instructions. Keep the box closed with its zipper and lid when storing files, and use the pockets to separate smaller items from folders. The box is water-resistant, but it should not be immersed or washed in liquid. Fire-resistant materials provide added protection, not unlimited protection from fire exposure, so keep exposure to a minimum. When the box is empty and not needed, collapse it for storage.

Questions before you buy

Will it hold letter- and legal-size hanging folders? Yes. The box is designed to fit both sizes, making it suitable for organizing common office and personal records.

How do I set the combination lock? The original combination is 0-0-0. Use a tool to press the reset button until it clicks, turn the dials to your chosen combination, then push the button in the arrow’s direction until the reset button clicks back into place. The included manual provides the instructions, and the combination can be reset using the same process.

Can I wash the box or leave it exposed to fire for an extended time? No. It is water-resistant, but it should not be immersed or washed. Fire-resistant construction adds protection, but the manufacturer advises keeping fire exposure to a minimum.

The ENGPOW EG0027 is a practical choice for anyone who wants to keep letter- or legal-size files together with smaller valuables in a portable, lockable container.
