A filing cabinet is a piece of office furniture for storing paper documents in file folders. In the most simple context, it is an enclosure for drawers in which items are stored.
The two most common forms of filing cabinets are vertical files and lateral files. A vertical file cabinet has drawers that extend from the short side of the cabinet. A lateral file cabinet has drawers that extend from the long side of the cabinet. These are also called side filers in Great Britain. There are also shelf files, which go on shelves. In the United States, file cabinets are usually built to accommodate 8.5 × 11 paper, and in other countries, filing cabinets are often designed to hold other sizes of paper, such as A4 paper.
File cabinets are not always made from the strongest materials, and it is not unusual for the drawer slides to malfunction, making it difficult to move the drawer or close it all the way. Fire not only causes loss to property and belongings, but this damage can become even more costly when paper documents are also destroyed. Property deeds, legal documents, and important paperwork make fireproof filing cabinets a vital addition to a business’ or office’s security.
Using special fire-resistant materials, our filing cabinets provide the same functionality of their less secure equivalents. Fireproof filing cabinets can protect paperwork from fire damage for up to 120 minutes, unlike a traditional unit.For smaller spaces and offices, a single or two drawer cabinet can protect your most important documents within a small space. Alternatively, our fire-resistant lateral filing cabinets can prevent fire damage for smaller quantities of vital paperwork. For more extensive protection for a large number of records, a 4 drawer filing cabinet may be required.
Protection against fire and even explosions A fireproof file cabinet will protect your documents from high-temperature exposures. Few people know that file cabinets or safes are also tested with explosives. While some of us know we could do a lot better when it comes to organising our paperwork, there are others who keep meticulous files in their offices, enabling them to locate whatever documents they need quickly and without fuss. These people probably make extensive use of filing cabinets, which can be organised alphabetically to make finding relevant paperwork really speedy. There are obvious benefits to having your documents stored neatly away and not scattered in piles around the room – being able to see your desk and use it as a proper working space for one.
While it’s important to make sure your filing cabinet is spacious enough to meet your requirements and strong enough to last, there are other important considerations. Often people think about the security risks involved with a large amount of confidential paperwork and make sure that they buy a filing cabinet, which securely stores critical documents with a key or combination lock. But with filing cabinets holding company records, deeds, financial reports and other important documents, you should also ensure that you get one that protects your paperwork against the impact of natural disasters, like fire.
While key locks and access codes might deter unauthorised persons from getting access to your important files, they will do nothing to prevent you losing absolutely everything in your filing cabinets in the event of a fire. This could be completely devastating should a fire occur. In just a few minutes all your business paperwork might be completely wiped out, leaving you with nothing short of a disaster on your hands.
Fire Document Cabinets are specially designed to withstand the impact of extreme heat and can protect your paperwork from damage if a fire was to break out on the premises. Fire document cabinets are independently tested to stop the internal temperature from reaching the point where it would ignite the paper, at just 177 degrees Celsius. The average fire reaches temperatures of more than 600 degrees. A good quality fire document cabinet will keep the contents safe for two hours, which thankfully is much longer than the average fire service response time.
