Things To Know About Industrial File Cabinet

Before buying, you need to take some important factors into account. So, keep reading and learn more about file cabinets built, safety features, storage space and more.

File Cabinet Construction – These file cabinets are mostly made from durable and solid wood along with metal material. The manufacturers use sturdy engineered wood, such as walnut, oak, pine, etc. Also, they have metal frames, metal accents or metal drawer panels for a more rustical look.

MDF Material – This term stands for medium-density fiberboard. It’s a type of engineered wood. The MDF consist of thin panels made from wood fiber, wax and resin. The MDF construction ensures density, sturdiness and durability. Also, MDF file cabinets are more affordable than those made of solid wood.

Vertical/Lateral – Vertical industrial file cabinets don’t take up too much space due to their upright design. They usually come with casters and have two or three drawers. Lateral file cabinets are wider, need more space and offer wider but shallower drawers.

Interlock System – This mechanism is very useful, especially if you have a large file cabinet with a load of stored files. It reduces the risk of accidents, injuries and damage. The interlock system allows you to open one drawer at a time, while others are locked. Your file cabinet will stay stable and won’t fall forward.

Casters -Many tall wood file cabinets come with casters for easy mobility.  Also, you can find lateral models that come equipped with casters. If you need to move your file cabinet frequently, then pick a mobile file cabinet. Some rustic-style file cabinets have added a fifth caster that ensures more stability and reduces the risk of tipping.
