Your team keeps active records in temporary stacks because the files needed daily are the hardest to place. A lateral file cabinet gives that backlog a place for letter or legal size hanging files, filed side to side. With five drawers, you can assign current work by drawer instead of leaving folders across desks and shared surfaces. The lock and drawer safety feature matter when multiple people use the same storage: the safety feature prevents more than one drawer from being opened at a time.
Heavy gauge steel construction forms the cabinet, with dimensions of 63 3/4-inch high by 36-inch wide by 19 3/4-inch deep. The five-drawer configuration includes one roll-out shelf and one posting shelf, giving you two specific surfaces for records or materials associated with your filing work. Lock and leveling glides are standard. The lock supports controlled access to the contents, while the leveling glides let you account for floor conditions during placement. The lateral file cabinet accommodates letter or legal size hanging files through side-to-side filing. It meets or exceeds ANSI and BIFMA performance standards, providing a specification you can include in your furniture review when your organization evaluates storage for shared office use.
Choose the finish that fits your current room plan: Light Gray or Black. The five drawers let you separate records by department, project, retention period, or another filing practice your team already follows, while the roll-out shelf and posting shelf give those tasks dedicated places within the cabinet. A lockable, five-drawer filing point can reduce the number of active folders competing for space on workstations and counters. For an office manager or facility director, this lateral file cabinet brings the capacity, filing format, access control, and floor-leveling features into one specified storage unit without asking you to change how your staff labels or retrieves records.
