FAQs
What are office filing cabinets best used for?
Office filing cabinets are used to store documents, records, and files in an organised filing system within offices, schools, medical practices, and commercial environments.
What types of office filing cabinets are available?
Office filing cabinets come in several configurations, including:
- Vertical cabinets (2-4 drawers deep, front-to-back filing)
- Lateral cabinets (wide drawers for side-to-side filing and easier access)
- Mobile pedestals (with wheels for flexibility)
- Combination units (filing plus storage compartments)
Each type serves different space and organisational needs.
What is the difference between vertical and lateral filing cabinets?
- Vertical cabinets store files front-to-back and are ideal for smaller spaces.
- Lateral cabinets store files side-to-side, offer easier access, a larger work surface, and are suitable for wider layouts.

Consider the following:
- The volume of documents you need to store
- Anticipated future growth

What materials are office filing cabinets made from?
