A missing file turns a routine records request into an interruption for your team. That is where a lateral file cabinet earns its place in your office: by giving your staff a single storage point for letter or legal size hanging files, filed from side to side. This three-drawer cabinet also addresses a practical risk that appears whenever several people need access at once. Its safety feature prevents more than one drawer from being opened at a time, helping keep the cabinet from becoming unstable during everyday use. A lock is standard, giving you a way to manage access to the files held inside. For an office manager or facility director, those details connect storage capacity with the daily demands of records control, shared access, and orderly retrieval.
The cabinet uses heavy gauge steel construction and measures 36-inch wide by 19 3/4-inch deep by 39 1/2-inch high overall. Its three drawers accommodate letter or legal size hanging files in side-to-side filing, so your team can organize records according to the file size used in your office. Lock and leveling glides are standard. The leveling glides let you address uneven flooring at the cabinet location, while the lock supports controlled access to stored files. The drawer safety feature prevents more than one drawer from being opened at a time. The product meets or exceeds ANSI / BIFMA performance standards, providing a documented reference point as you evaluate furniture for an active workplace and its records-handling requirements.
You can choose the finish that fits your office plan: Light Gray or Black. That choice lets you coordinate the cabinet with the surrounding furniture while keeping the file storage function tied to your records workflow. The 36-inch width provides the stated lateral filing format, and the 19 3/4-inch depth and 39 1/2-inch height give you the overall dimensions to review against the intended location. With heavy gauge steel construction, three drawers, a standard lock, leveling glides, and the drawer-opening safety feature, this lateral file cabinet brings the specific controls your team needs into one storage unit. It is a practical choice when your priority is organizing letter or legal size hanging files while managing access and placement in the office.
