Are steel plates at hardware store fireproof/safe enough for seed phrase

I usually see posts where someone mentions getting a crypto metal wallet and then comments saying "Why didn't you just get a metal plate from the hardware store?". So I wanted to know if there is any assurances that the metal plates you buy from a hardware store are guaranteed to be just as fireproof/damage proof as the retail products. Is there something you should look out for / ask for when buying metal plates from a hardware store? A way to quickly test them out even? submitted by /u/Otherwise_Ebb_4485 [link] [comments]
