will this withstand the heat of a fire?

I don't think that the gauge (thickness) of the wire cloth is sufficient to withstand repeated exposure to fire (especially direct flame) without burning through. If you are referring to fire exposure only a very few times, it should withstand that, but keep in mind that direct fire contact will also, in a relatively short time, burn off the galvanization coating on the wire, resulting in rust which will also lead to deterioration and ultimate failure of the hardware cloth.

I am sure it would as it is made of metal. It would really depend on how hot the fire is. I certainly would not want to use it as some sort of grill. If you could be more specific about your planned use of it, that would help.

I'm going to have to say no. The wire is a small gauge that would only take a small amount of fire, then it would deteriorate. If one were to want to put something over a fire, like on a range or an open outside fire, a much heavier gauge of wire would be necessary.

I'm unsure of how much heat it can withstand. You can layer it it's pretty sticky.

no it can be used again and again if needed. It is made of metal. IF it is used in a fire I would definitely check it out for damage before using it again.

Im not sure how heat resistant this is but I can assure you its not fire proof.

its heat resistant, nothing is really fireproof. It is a Muslin Dyed Cloth as long as you dont have a hot lights inches away from it it shouldn't be an issue. I used 800 watt lights to light it from about a foot and a half away for over 2 hours

no. it is paper. it will catch fire.it is safe in an oven up to 400 degrees F.

It will protect jewelry from fire but it's not a safe. It has some weight to it but it can be carried from your home.

If you show us a picture and we conclude it's not because of banging or dropping, we will cover it no matter how long you own it. These are made of conductive firebrick and can handle direct flame without a hitch.Joe

Hi Kim. When I bought it, the info stated that it was. So I'm trusting that it is. It appears to be durable. But without having been in a fire, I can't say that I'm 100% sure. I hope that helped some.

Yes, it does resist heat. It is made from aluminum. It will work fine for everyday sitting for a barbecue and is easy to care for. Just wipe clean after use!

I don't know how it could withstand a house fire. I am terribly disappointed in mine. The hinge pins are made of plastic. It would appear to me that they would melt fairly quickly and there would be no structural integrity. I guess they have tested it, and their claims are accurate. But, the top fell off of mine after a year of use. I would not trust it with my important documents. I now use mine to store odds and ends that have no value.

Not fire proof I wouldn't think. But it has worked for us and we like the night drop door. Not real high quality but it works for our purpose of collecting night drop keys.

If it is used for an actual fire, the heat could compromise its strength, rendering it unsafe for another usage. For such a low price, might as well replace it after a fire.

I haven't tried it in a fire. Ill let you know as soon as i do. Sounds like a good project for the morning.

Absolutely not! It has a protective backing that does not consist of anything that would melt even in extreme conditions.

It supposed to be safe in a fire---for exact temperature --you will have to check the specs for the item.

It should work if it isn't subjected to direct or intense heat. It is fairly thin.
