4 Drawer File Cabinet
The 4 Drawer File Cabinet with full suspension available in both letter and legal size is probably the most versatile and most widely used office file cabinet in the majority of today's business offices. The one pictured here is a triple-tied cradle suspension with ten nylon rollers per drawer for smooth, silent action. Each of the drawers open fully to provide easy access to the entire drawer from front to rear without shuffling the contents. Each drawer is equipped with a spring-loaded follower block to hold the files upright and neat even when half full. It also has high drawer sides that eliminate the need for hangrails in order to use the convenient hanging file folders.
This style 4 Drawer File Cabinet is commonly included into the grouping
of vertical file cabinets and is completely different
to one that is described as a 4 Drawer Lateral File
Cabinet.
When looking for a 4 drawer file cabinet you will want to research the materials used
in advance of your shopping trip. This is because the cost is mainly determined by the materials employed, the
lock and the dimensions. If you choose a product that is fire and impact resistant, you could end up a few
extra hundred bucks. However, you'd be adding much more protection to the files your cabinet contains.
There are essentially two kinds of file cabinets. One is a vertical file cabinet and
the other having a more conventional look, which is tall and thin. These cabinets usually contain 2 to 5
drawers and can cater to letter or legal sized files.
To fully understand and check for the quality of the materials used you will want to look at the suspension
system that supports the drawers. Even when very full, quality drawers will glide smoothly and easily. Also
check for safety features like those that prevent the cabinet from toppling over when many or all drawers are
open. Counter weight drawers and internal locking features are ideal in this case. Also when checking the metal
or wooden material, it should be strong and thick. If you're considering a metal cabinet, make sure it has a
protective coating that prevents rust.
Fire and impact resistant materials can add up to $500 or
more to the cost of buying your 4 drawer file cabinet. However, this is well worth the investment if you have
confidential and very important files kept in the office. File cabinets made out of metal is best for office
use. In this case always check for dings and dents when assessing quality. Wooden cabinets are great for homes,
as they are more aesthetically pleasing. You may want to choose oak, as this is one of the strongest wooden
materials available.
