What Types of 2 Drawer Lateral File Cabinets Do We Offer?

A two drawer lateral filing cabinet is the most common lateral storage solution. These two drawers can hold a surprising amount of storage. By laying laterally, more storage is available in roughly the same amount of space as vertical filing cabinets. These cabinets offer a more versatile storage capability as well.

The sizes vary based on the option chosen. They typically try to accommodate letter sized documents as well as legal. Before browsing, make sure to measure the designated space and estimate how wide a lateral file is needed. Height can vary based on number of drawers, but for a 2-drawer locking file cabinet 28 inches is a good working average. The specs are available on every listing for an exact idea of the cabinet height.

The materials used for construction offer another set of options. Laminate files are available in multiple finishes and have the look and feel of a more traditional office while metal files are generally a minimalist option. They come in black, white and grey, are made using steel and are heavy-duty. Metal files offer a durable way to store documents.

While most professional file cabinets offer security and privacy for document storage, review product specs to ensure locking is included. Many of our 2-drawer locking lateral files include locks and keys with randomized numbers. Lock core replacements, in case keys are lost or stolen, can sometime be available from the manufacturer.
