Office Filing Cabinets for A4 & Foolscap Files
Choose office filing cabinets for organised storage of documents and suspension files.
Our range includes filing cabinets from office furniture collections such as Impulse and Qube, with different drawer configurations, finishes and filing formats available.
Before ordering, check three things in particular: the filing format, cabinet dimensions and drawer safety features.
What Is an Office Filing Cabinet?
An office filing cabinet is a drawer-based storage unit designed primarily for documents and files.
Unlike a cupboard, which provides general-purpose shelf storage, a filing cabinet uses drawers designed around a particular filing arrangement.
Depending on the model, this can include:
- A4 suspension filing
- Foolscap suspension filing
- Different drawer quantities
- Locking
- Anti-tilt mechanisms
- Different finishes
Check the individual product specification because filing formats and features vary between cabinets.
What Is a Suspension Filing Cabinet?
Suspension files hang from rails or runners inside the filing drawer.
This keeps individual files upright and allows them to be moved along the drawer as documents are added or removed.
The cabinet and suspension files need to use compatible dimensions.
Two terms you will commonly encounter when buying UK office filing cabinets are A4 and foolscap.
