ENGPOW EG128GRXNEW Fireproof File Box, 5200°F, Collapsible and Lockable

Silicone-coated fire-resistant cotton and an aluminum foil lining give the ENGPOW EG128GRXNEW a heat-insulated design for storing important papers and valuables. Its 5200°F rating and water-resistant construction add protective features to a portable file organizer for home or office use.

With room for letter- and legal-size hanging files, a 36-liter capacity, and a combination lock, it keeps everyday records together and ready to carry.

The essentials

This box combines a structured PP board frame with a fire-resistant outer material and aluminum foil lining. The manufacturer states that it withstands temperatures up to 5200°F and that the material passed the UL94 V-0/5VA flame-retardant test. It is also water-resistant, offering added protection for stored papers in case the box gets wet. These features provide an extra layer of protection, the box is not intended for endless exposure to fire.

At 15.6 x 12.5 x 10.5 inches, it is sized for letter- and legal-size hanging folders. Mesh pockets on the lid and sides help organize smaller items such as cards, USB drives, passports, and other personal documents alongside files. A zipper closure and combination lock keep the contents enclosed, while the adjustable handle supports carrying the box between storage spots.

Customers often highlight the roomy interior, portability, and usefulness for organizing important documents. Feedback on the lock and zipper is mixed, so take time to follow the included lock instructions and operate the closures carefully.

Care tips

Keep fire exposure to a minimum, since fire-resistant construction does not mean the box can withstand unlimited exposure. Do not immerse or wash it in liquid. When it is not in use, the box folds down for more compact storage, unfold it and insert the base plate to set it up again.

Tips for day-to-day use

Use the box as a movable alternative to keeping records in a fixed filing cabinet. For example, organize household paperwork by category in hanging folders, then carry the box from a home office to another storage area using its handle. The mesh pockets can keep smaller essentials grouped separately from the main files, making them easier to locate.

The two zippers open and close the lid, and the combination lock adds a further layer of access control. Its reflective strip on the side helps make the box easier to spot in low light. When choosing a storage setup, this format suits people who want hanging-file organization with the option to fold the container away when it is empty.

Before you decide

What file sizes does it hold? It is designed for letter- and legal-size hanging folders, which can be hung directly inside. Folders are not included.

How do I set up the box? Unfold it and insert the base plate. It can be collapsed again for storage when it is not in use.

How does the lock work? It uses a combination lock, and lock instructions are included. No key is required.

When it makes sense

Choose the ENGPOW EG128GRXNEW when you want one portable place for hanging files and smaller valuables, with a lockable closure and materials designed to add fire and water resistance. Its collapsible build is especially practical for home-office records that may need to move or be stored away between uses.
