A4 3 Drawer Steel Filing Cabinet White

A4 3 Drawer Steel Filing Cabinet White: a 3 drawer steel filing cabinet that takes a4 suspension files.

Steel filing cabinets by drawer count and by the paper size they take. Foolscap is the size most UK offices file in and A4 cabinets will not take a foolscap suspension file, which is the commonest ordering mistake in this category. Every cabinet has an anti tilt interlock and a counterweight.

Before you buy

Anything taller than about 1.2 metres must be anchored to the wall. A filing cabinet with two drawers open will tip forward under its own weight, which is why our cabinets have a counterweight and an interlock that allows one drawer at a time, and why tall shelving comes with wall ties. Personal data has to be held securely under UK data protection law, and a lockable cabinet is the usual control for paper records. It works with a retention schedule and secure destruction at the end of it. A locked cabinet with no retention schedule behind it is a filing problem rather than a compliance one. Flat packed units come with everything needed and an illustrated guide, and most take about half an hour. Pre assembled units are delivered built by two person crews, and we ask about lifts stairs and door widths before dispatch because a built four drawer cabinet does not go up a tight staircase.

Which option to buy

Flat Packed is delivered flat packed to your door for assembly on site, which is the cheaper option and takes about 30 minutes a unit. Pre Assembled is delivered built and ready to use, carried to the room on the ground floor as standard. We sell storage that has to hold real weight and sometimes has to satisfy a regulator. Every listing states the external size, the tested capacity, the lock and whether it carries an independently certified fire rating, because in this trade the word fireproof gets used for products that have never been tested.
