Lateral Filing

How to Buy a Lateral Filing Cabinet?

  1. Look for reinforced, welded steel corners. These are the cornerstones of a sturdy file. To ensure years of trouble-free use, make sure all sides of the cabinet are welded together.

  2. Make sure the cabinet has a central cam lock for document safe-keeping.
  3. Levelling glides help to keep the cabinet frame square, allowing the door and lock to open easily.
  4. Suspend your workload. Solid steel ball-bearing suspensions help heavy, full drawers open and close smoothly.
  5. Don't lock yourself out. Use a positive action lock. For total flexibility, files should hold both letter and legal size file folders.
