Choose Filing Cabinets by Drawer Count and Floor Space

A 3 drawer filing cabinet can provide a middle ground between a compact unit and the capacity of a 4 drawer filing cabinet. Measure the proposed position and check the full product dimensions, including the space needed to open each drawer.

Buyers comparing 2 drawer filing cabinets for a smaller footprint should also check whether a vertical or lateral format works better beside the desk. The wider filing cabinets range can then be narrowed by capacity instead of appearance alone.

Compare Office Filing Cabinets by Format and File Requirements

Office filing cabinets may be designed around different drawer orientations and document formats. If the brief calls for metal filing cabinets for workplace storage or lockable filing cabinets for controlled access, confirm the material and locking details on the individual product.

Check the Filing Cabinet Specification Before You Buy

Open each listing to confirm dimensions, drawer count, construction and included locking features. A document storage cabinet with doors or shelves may suit a different filing method, so browse the wider office storage range before deciding.
