Used 42 In 5 Drawer Lateral File, Light Gray
Five tier lateral files are what records rooms are built around. This one puts a retracting door bay at the top over four full depth file drawers, all in a welded steel case finished in light gray. The top bay is the useful part: its door lifts and slides back into the cabinet, leaving a full width open shelf that stays accessible while you work. That is where the reference binders, the active project folders and the things you reach for twenty times a day live, with the closed drawers underneath holding everything that only needs to be found occasionally.
This pre-owned cabinet files letter and legal documents side to side across the full width of each drawer, and the drawers ride on full extension slides so the back of a loaded drawer is as easy to reach as the front. Interior dividers and a movable compressor plate hold partial drawers of folders upright and square. A single lock core sits in the case top and secures the whole stack at once. The drawer faces carry integrated full width pull rails, which is what gives the cabinet its clean continuous front.
At this height the cabinet does a lot of work per square foot of floor. Five tiers of letter and legal filing stack into a footprint about the size of a two drawer cabinet, and because laterals file across the width, a single drawer holds a long unbroken run of folders and shows you all of it the moment it opens. That is the reason lateral files took over records rooms, administrative departments, HR offices and back office areas.
