4 file cabinets

Heights commonly range from about 28.78 inches up to about 52.4 inches; widths range from about 14.76 inches to about 35.43 inches; and depths typically fall between about 15.75 inches and 22 inches. These ranges cover both compact slim models and wider lateral options to suit different floor plans.

Many models use a single central lock (commonly supplied with two keys) that secures all drawers, plus an interlocking anti-tilt mechanism that restricts opening to one drawer at a time to reduce tipping risk. Some listings additionally note compliance with applicable safety standards.

Drawers are described as accommodating Letter, Legal, and A4 file sizes (some listings also mention F4). Many cabinets include adjustable or removable hanging rails/rods so you can configure the drawer for different folder formats.

Commonly used slide systems are full-extension ball-bearing slides or steel ball-bearing slides, which provide full drawer access. These are often marketed as quiet or silent, and some models offer soft-close (soft-closing) operation.

Reported capacities vary considerably between models. Examples from listings include 110 lbs per drawer (sometimes stated as 440 lbs total), 55 lbs per drawer, and total capacities reported as 440 lbs or as low as 120 lbs. Because values differ by design and manufacturer, check the specific product specifications for the per-drawer and total load ratings before purchasing.

Common form factors include vertical (tall, slim footprints that maximize height), lateral (wider units that provide side-by-side filing), and combo freestanding units that pair four drawers with an additional side door or wardrobe-style compartment for mixed storage.
