Teknion Used 3 Drawer 36 Inch Lateral File, Gray
Teknion is the Toronto manufacturer that spent forty years making the parts of an office that hold everything else together, and its storage line has the same character as its panel systems: quiet, precisely built, and designed to disappear into a floor plan rather than announce itself. A three drawer lateral is the size most departments actually need. Two drawers is not enough once a team accumulates a few years of records, and a four or five drawer case turns into a wall that blocks sightlines across an open plan floor. Three drawers holds a serious amount of paper and still stops below eye level.
This pre-owned unit measures 18 inches deep by 36 inches wide by 40 inches high, finished in a gray steel that reads slightly warm against a cool office palette. Full width recessed pulls run across each drawer front, and each pull carries an integrated label holder, so the cabinet can be indexed at a glance without anyone taping paper to the front of the drawers. A single gang lock sits at the top center of the case and secures all three drawers together.
All three drawers file letter and legal folders side to side across the full 36 inch width, which is the reason a lateral earns its floor space over a vertical file. The drawer opens and the complete run is visible and reachable at once. Ball bearing suspension carries each drawer under a full paper load, steel file rails with compressors hold folders upright as a drawer empties down, and a counterweighted base keeps the cabinet planted when a loaded bottom drawer is fully extended.
