Every open drawer stops somebody, and a cabinet running three drawers on smooth ball bearing suspension keeps the aisle moving. Your lateral file cabinet gives you a place to organize binders and letter or legal size documents while keeping access to one drawer at a time. If your staff shares filing space, the arrangement matters: an open drawer should not leave the remaining drawers available to be pulled out at the same moment. The interlock system addresses that specific risk by allowing only one drawer to open at a time, while locking drawers put control of the contents in your hands. That combination gives your records area a clear operating rule without asking employees to remember which drawers can be used together.
Built entirely of steel, this lateral file cabinet measures 36-inch wide by 18-inch deep by 40 1/2-inch high. Its full-extension drawers use ball-bearing suspension, so each drawer extends fully for access to the filing area. The two top drawers accommodate binders and letter or legal size documents. The bottom drawer accommodates letter or legal size filing. Locking drawers provide the stated locking function for the stored contents, and leveling glides let you level the cabinet at its installation position. The interlock system prevents tipping by allowing only one drawer to open at a time. You can therefore specify the cabinet around the actual documents your team handles, from binders in the upper drawers to letter or legal size files below.
Choose from three finishes to coordinate the cabinet with your records room, administrative area, or shared office setting. The 36-inch width provides the stated cabinet footprint, while the 18-inch depth and 40 1/2-inch height give you the dimensions needed for planning its position among desks, workstations, and other storage. Use the upper drawers for binders and letter or legal size documents, then assign the bottom drawer to letter or legal size filing. Lock the drawers when the contents need controlled access, and use the leveling glides when the cabinet needs adjustment at its final position. With full-extension drawers, ball-bearing suspension, an interlock system, and three finish choices, you can match the filing configuration to your records workflow and the appearance of your office.
