Lateral Filing FAQs
Looking for more answers on lateral filing cabinets? Start here with these helpful FAQs.
What’s the difference between a lateral filing cabinet and a vertical filing cabinet?
Vertical filing cabinets are narrower than lateral filing cabinets and organise files front to back. Whereas, the wider lateral or side filing cabinets keep files organised from side to side, meaning you flip through the files left to right or vice versa to find what you’re looking for.
How do you use lateral filing cabinets?
Lateral filing cabinets are best used when files are placed side-by-side along the length of the drawer, so you can easily flick through them. However, our Bisley side filing cabinets also come with conversion rails, so if you wish, you can also file vertically (front to back) or utilise drawer space for box or lever arch files.
Do lateral file cabinets hold more files than a standard vertical filing cabinet?
Generally, lateral filing cabinets are designed to hold more than the standard vertical filing cabinets, making them an ideal solution for businesses with many files. However, it’s always best to check the dimensions at the bottom of each product page, as there are a range of sizes available for both lateral and vertical filers.
How wide is a standard lateral filing cabinet?
Our lateral cabinets range between 800mm and 1000mm wide, aligning with standard side filer dimensions for seamless integration.
How deep are drawers in the Bisley side filing cabinets ?
The drawers in the Bisley side filers are all 409mm deep. For full dimension details on specific items, please refer to the product page for more information.
What’s the weight capacity per drawer in Bisley’s metal lateral filing cabinets?
The weight capacity per drawer varies from cabinet to cabinet. We recommend checking out the details at the bottom of each product page.
Are Bisley side filers secure for storing sensitive documents?
Yes, all our Bisley side filing cabinets come with locks so you can protect your sensitive files.
Are the Bisley side filing cabinets compatible with A4 and foolscap files?
Yes, our lateral filers are compatible with both A4 and foolscap-sized files.
How do Bisley’s anti-tilt mechanisms work on metal lateral filing cabinets?
As you open one drawer, there is a mechanism that stops the other drawers from opening at the same time, preventing the cabinet from tilting over.
