Product overview

First Alert 2087F: What to Know

Per First Alert's own product page, the 2087F is a combination-lock safe rated to endure external temperatures of up to 1700°F for up to one hour while keeping the interior below 350°F — the threshold the company cites as the point paper documents begin to char. First Alert states the safe has been independently verified by a testing lab to protect not just paper but electronic media specifically, including memory sticks, CDs, DVDs and external hard drives, which is a more specific claim than a general "fireproof" label.

The safe is also described as fully waterproof, with pry-resistant concealed hinges and a waterproof seal First Alert states will protect contents even if the safe is completely submerged. At 0.94 cubic feet, it's a mid-sized option in this comparison — smaller than the Honeywell and Barska safes here, but with a specific electronics-protection claim neither of those two makes as explicitly.

First Alert's own site listed this model as currently sold out at the time of our check, with a price around $249 when in stock. The company also sells a 2087F-BD bolt-down variant and a 2087DF digital-lock version, so confirm you're looking at the combination-lock configuration described here if that's your preference.

Buying questions

Quick Answers

Does this safe really protect USB drives and hard drives, not just paper?

Per First Alert's own materials, yes — the company states this model has been independently verified to protect digital media including memory sticks, CDs, DVDs and external hard drives, which is a more specific claim than many fire safes make about paper documents alone. Treat this as First Alert's own tested claim rather than something we independently verified ourselves.

What's the difference between the 2087F, 2087F-BD and 2087DF?

Based on First Alert's own product lineup, the 2087F-BD adds bolt-down capability to essentially the same safe, and the 2087DF swaps the combination lock for a digital keypad. The core fire/water ratings and capacity appear similar across the family, but confirm the exact lock type and bolt-down feature you want before ordering, since the model numbers are easy to mix up.
