What types of file cabinets are available?
File cabinets come in a range of styles to suit your workspace. Choose vertical cabinets for compact storage or lateral cabinets for wider drawers and easy access. Mobile cabinets offer flexibility, and fireproof cabinets help protect important documents. Pedestal cabinets fit neatly under desks, while open shelf styles give quick access to frequently used files.
How many files can a standard cabinet hold?
A standard file cabinet drawer can hold about 250–300 file folders, each with 50–100 sheets, depending on paper weight. That means one drawer can typically store up to 15,000 sheets. Use hanging file holders to keep everything organized and maximize your cabinet’s full capacity.
Can file cabinets hold both letter and legal-size documents?
Most file cabinets can hold both letter- and legal-size documents, but not all are designed to do so. Be sure to check the product details to confirm compatibility before you buy.
Are file cabinets lockable?
Most file cabinets Quill carries are lockable, though some may only have one lockable drawer. Use the “Lockable” filter or check the product description to be sure before purchasing.
Are file cabinets fireproof?
Quill offers fire-resistant cabinets with protection for documents during short-term exposure to heat. However, fire-resistant is not the same as fireproof—fireproof cabinets provide higher levels of protection. Check product details to find the right level of safety for your needs.
