The folders your team uses every day are already competing with active work for space; a lateral file cabinet gives those records a place that does not depend on whoever last touched the desk. If files remain in piles or temporary bins, you are asking staff to remember where each item went while also protecting information from casual access. This four-drawer cabinet lets you move letter or legal size hanging files into side-to-side filing, while a lock is included for access control. A safety feature prevents more than one drawer from being opened at a time, an important consideration when several drawers are being used during a busy workday.
Your filing requirements also depend on the room available, so the listed dimensions matter when you are planning placement. The cabinet measures 36-inch wide by 19 3/4-inch deep by 51 63/100-inch high. Its heavy gauge steel construction identifies the material used for the cabinet; a lock and leveling glides are standard. The four drawers accommodate letter or legal size hanging files with side-to-side filing, giving you a filing format suited to either document size without changing the cabinet. The product meets or exceeds ANSI / BIFMA performance standards. The drawer safety feature prevents more than one drawer from being opened at a time, while the lock addresses access to the stored files.
Your finish choice is limited to the two colors listed for this lateral file cabinet: Light Gray or Black. That gives you a direct way to select the appearance that fits the room where your records are handled, whether the cabinet sits near active workstations, behind a reception area, or in a records zone. The 36-inch width provides a clear planning point for the available wall or floor run, while the 19 3/4-inch depth and 51 63/100-inch height help you account for the surrounding space. You can use the four drawers for letter or legal size hanging files and keep side-to-side filing consistent across the cabinet. With the lock, leveling glides, and drawer safety feature included as specified, your team has a dedicated place to manage working records without leaving every file on an exposed desk.
