FAQs
What types of office filing cabinets are available?
Office filing cabinets come in several configurations, including vertical cabinets (2-4 drawers deep), lateral cabinets (wide drawers for side-to-side filing), mobile pedestals with wheels, and combination units featuring filing and storage compartments. Each type serves different space and organisational needs.
What's the difference between vertical and lateral filing cabinets?
Vertical filing cabinets store files front-to-back and are ideal for smaller spaces, while lateral filing cabinets store files side-to-side and offer easier access to documents. Lateral cabinets typically have a smaller footprint depth-wise and can double as workspace surfaces.
How do I determine the right filing cabinet size?
Consider your current document volume, anticipated growth, available floor space, and filing system preferences. A standard 4-drawer vertical cabinet holds approximately 8,000-10,000 documents, while lateral cabinets offer similar capacity with better accessibility and surface area.
Are locking filing cabinets necessary?
Locking filing cabinets are essential for protecting confidential information, complying with privacy regulations, securing sensitive client data, and preventing unauthorised access to important business documents. Most quality filing cabinets include reliable locking mechanisms as standard.
What materials are best for office filing cabinets?
Steel construction offers maximum durability and security, making it ideal for heavy-use environments. Powder-coated finishes provide scratch resistance and a professional appearance. Some cabinets feature reinforced construction for enhanced security and fire-resistant properties for document protection.
Can filing cabinets support additional weight on top?
Many lateral filing cabinets are designed to support additional weight and can serve as printer stands or workspace surfaces. Check the manufacturer's weight specifications, typically ranging from 30-80kg depending on construction quality and cabinet design.
How do I maintain my office filing cabinets?
Regular maintenance includes cleaning with appropriate surface cleaners, lubricating drawer slides annually, checking lock mechanisms for smooth operation, and ensuring proper weight distribution in drawers to prevent damage and maintain smooth functionality.
What filing systems work best with office filing cabinets?
Popular filing systems include alphabetical filing for general documents, numerical systems for sequential records, colour-coded systems for quick visual identification, and subject-based filing for departmental organisation. Choose based on your document types and retrieval frequency.
Do filing cabinets come pre-assembled?
Most filing cabinets require some assembly, particularly drawer installation and hardware attachment. However, many models feature simplified assembly processes. Area Office offers professional assembly services to ensure your filing cabinets are properly installed and functioning smoothly.
