Description
Schwab 5000 Used 4D Legal Sized Fire File Cabinet, Putty
The Schwab Corporation has been making fire resistant records storage in Lafayette, Indiana since 1872, which makes it one of the oldest continuously operating safe and file manufacturers in the country. The 5000 Series is the company’s insulated filing line, and this four drawer legal vertical is its standard full height cabinet. The protection comes from the case itself: every wall, the top, the base and each drawer front is a sealed cavity filled with an insulating compound, and the barrier carries between the drawers as well as around the outer shell. In a fire, moisture bound into that compound converts to vapor and pulls heat out of the structure, keeping the interior of the drawers well below the point where paper begins to scorch.
This pre-owned unit carries the Schwab 5000 badge on the top drawer, is finished in putty, and has a key lock at the top right of the case with the keys included and shown on the tag in the photos. Recessed metal pulls with integrated label holders run across each drawer face, and the drawers are fitted with a hanging file frame and rails, which are visible in the interior photos.
This is a legal size cabinet, so folders file front to back down the length of the drawer. That gives you a long run of filing per drawer while the cabinet face stays narrow against the wall, which is the practical appeal of a vertical fire file in a records room where wall length is the constraint. Law practices, accounting firms, title and escrow offices, insurance agencies, medical records departments and municipal offices are where these spend their working lives.
