In today's digital world, protecting documents and information is vital. Whether you own a small office, run a larger company or are responsible for the security of documents in a public institution, a metal filing cabinet is ideal for keeping documents safe and properly secured. One of the leading brands that specialises in the production of high-quality safes, filing cabinets, among other things, is Hartmann Tresore. The company has a well-established position on the market (in Poland, we have been taking care of securing the values of our customers for more than 20 years), experienced advisors and, most importantly, thousands of satisfied customers who appreciate our efforts. In this article, we will take a look at the importance of filing cabinets and explain why you should pay attention to these products.
In the digital age we live in – that is, the reality that most information is stored electronically – it may seem that traditional paper documents are losing their importance. However, it appears that many documents still need to be stored in physical, hard copy form (for legal, regulatory or archiving reasons). Metal cabinets allow important documentation to be stored effectively and securely.
An important benefit of having metal filing cabinets is that the contents are protected from external factors. When we talk about external factors - we mean both the protection of documents from falling into the wrong hands (this is particularly important in the context of personal data protection and RODO regulations) and the protection of documentation from destruction caused by random events, e.g. fire, theft.

Hartmann Tresore is a renowned German company that has been manufacturing high-quality safes and filing cabinets for more than 40 years (we have been active on the Polish market for more than 20 years). Our products are famous for their reliability, innovation and robust construction.
As a manufacturer, Hartmann Tresore offers a wide range of filing cabinets to suit different needs and requirements. Our range includes models with different capacities, dimensions and different levels of security. We make sure that our products meet the highest security standards and are available for different market sectors.
We invest in the development of new technologies and innovative solutions in areas such as filing cabinets. We use advanced methods and materials to ensure optimal conditions for storing documents.
We offer different variants of filing cabinets – one of which is fireproof filling, which ensures the safety of the documents deposited in the cabinet, even in the case of a fire outbreak.
Filing cabinets are simply larger safes – however, they are not simply metal cabinets, but certified solutions that have passed burglary resistance and e.g. fire resistance tests and have specific certifications.
A certified metal filing cabinet is more than just an office cabinet (usually made of wood, mdf panels or metal with a thickness of approximately 1 mm). The structure of a class cabinet is made of steel and, depending on the security class of the cabinet – there may be one, two or more sheet metal coats and additional fillings inside, which reinforces this structure and makes it more difficult to get into the cabinet (compared to a non-certified cabinet or furniture). Class metal cabinets are more resistant to mechanical damage.
In principle, every company and institution should have a place for a solid filing cabinet. In every office, company or institution there are personal files, which should be well protected against unauthorised access or theft (if only because of GDPR) – class document cabinets are a worthwhile solution in this case. In our experience, cabinets are also used in accounting departments, law firms - where the appropriate security of documents is of great importance. We offer a wide range of cabinets in various sizes and security classes.
In large archives, shelving is most often used, but more important documents are stored in class and fireproof cabinets.
If you want your most important documents to be protected not only from theft, but also from damage caused by fire, opt for fireproof filing cabinets and rest assured – your files, personnel files, contracts, invoices and other important printouts will be secured. This protects not only against temperature increases caused by fire, but also against dust, extinguishing gases and water (in the event of fire, the seals stuck on the door - inside the cupboard swell and thus become a barrier for extinguishing liquids). This solution is ideal for small offices, companies, administrative units and all types of institutions (the cabinets are used in clinics, hospitals and law firms).
Filing cabinets are needed because storing physical documents is still important. Hartmann Tresore stands out as a leader in this field, offering innovative and reliable solutions to clients not only in Poland, but all over the world.
Secure document storage is key to protecting information and maintaining confidentiality, and Hartmann Tresore filing cabinets are the perfect choice for those looking for the highest quality products.

Filing cabinets are an indispensable item in many places – wherever effective and secure storage of important documents is needed. They provide protection against theft, damage or unauthorised access.
Document cabinets are robust and durable, designed specifically for storing and securing documents. They have various features such as the thickness and strength of the walls, a door secured by a lock, a locking system, and the ability to be fixed to the floor or wall to prevent theft or tipping over.
The most important function of filing cabinets is security, protecting documents from external threats. High-quality cabinets are burglar-proof, equipped with locking systems such as electronic locks, access codes or keys. Some cabinets are also fire resistant, giving additional protection in the event of a fire.
When choosing the right filing cabinet, it is important to consider several factors. Firstly, it is important to determine the size and capacity of the cabinet to accommodate all important documents. Secondly, it is worth paying attention to the type of lock and its reliability.
Other factors to consider are the material of the cabinet and the reputation of the manufacturer. High-quality cabinets are made of robust materials such as steel, which ensures durability and protection. A reputable manufacturer such as Hartmann Tresore offers a long guarantee on its products, in addition to after-sales support from a trusted advisor.
In summary, filing cabinets are an indispensable tool for storing and securing important documents. Their protective features, such as burglary, fire and water resistance, provide peace of mind. With a properly chosen cabinet, documents can be effectively protected against loss, damage or unauthorised access.
Finally, a conclusion related to questions from customers: "Is it possible to store confidential, secret, top secret, classified documents in filing cabinets with a security grade?". In theory yes, and in practice according to the regulation – type A B C cabinets are used for storing classified documents. We do not have these types of cabinets in the Hartmann Tresore range.
