Collection: Filing Cabinets

Document Filing Cabinets

Learn more

Filing cabinets are storage units with drawers fitted with suspension rails designed for hanging A4 and foolscap files. They are available in vertical configurations with two to four stacked drawers, and lateral configurations with wider shallow drawers suited to side-by-side file storage. Commercial-grade filing cabinets include key locks, anti-tipping mechanisms, and full-extension drawer runners as standard.

Filing cabinets are suited to any environment where paper-based document storage and retrieval is a regular requirement. They are commonly used in legal, finance, medical, and government environments where document management is integral to daily operations.

For general enclosed storage, see storage cabinets and cupboards. For personal under-desk file storage, see mobile pedestals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about this office furniture collection? Here are some answers to help. If you need anything further, our team is here to help.

A vertical filing cabinet has deep, narrow drawers where files are stored front-to-back in a column, like a traditional tall filing cabinet. A lateral filing cabinet has wide, shallow drawers where files are stored side-by-side across the width of the unit, allowing faster access to a larger number of files without the height of a vertical cabinet.
Commercial-grade filing cabinets include anti-tipping mechanisms as standard. These prevent more than one drawer from being opened simultaneously, which reduces the risk of the cabinet tipping forward under the combined weight of open drawers and file contents. Always confirm the product includes an anti-tipping mechanism, particularly for cabinets with three or more drawers.
A standard two-drawer lateral filing cabinet holds approximately 100 to 150 hanging files per drawer depending on folder thickness. A four-drawer vertical cabinet holds a similar total volume in a narrower footprint. For large document volumes, calculate your total file count before specifying to confirm the number of cabinets required.
