Once records spill across workstations, a cabinet brings locking drawers and ball-bearing suspension. A lateral file cabinet gives your team one vertical location for documents that need to remain accessible without staying exposed on desks. This five-drawer configuration accommodates binders and letter/legal size documents in its two top drawers, while the bottom three drawers accommodate letter/legal size filing. The top drawer is a receding drawer, adding a specific arrangement for the materials your team reaches for most often. Locking drawers let you control access to the contents while keeping active records within the filing area.
All steel construction forms the cabinet, with full extension drawers supported by ball bearing suspension. Each drawer extends fully so your team can reach the contents across the drawer depth. The locking drawers address records that should remain secured when staff members leave the filing area. An interlock system prevents tipping by allowing only one drawer to open at a time, a relevant consideration when several drawers hold active files. Leveling glides let you adjust the cabinet at the floor, while the 36-inch wide by 18-inch deep by 66-inch high overall dimensions establish its footprint and vertical storage profile. The five drawers separate documents by department, project, or retention need, giving you a place to organize the filing categories your office already manages.
Your configuration includes two top drawers for binders and letter/legal size documents, plus three bottom drawers for letter/legal size filing. The receding top drawer distinguishes the upper section from the lower filing drawers, while full extension movement keeps the drawer contents available across the opening. Choose from three finishes to coordinate the cabinet with the surrounding office, and use the locking function when access to particular records needs to be limited. The cabinet's 36-inch width, 18-inch depth, and 66-inch height give you the measured dimensions to review against the intended wall, workstation, or records area before placement. With the interlock system, leveling glides, ball bearing suspension, and drawer-specific capacities working together, you can establish a filing location built around the documents your team handles every day.
