document drawer

Document drawers are commonly made from wood or engineered wood (for example MDF and wood composite), metal/steel (including carbon steel), particleboard, and plastic (often used for portable file boxes).

Many cabinets include built-in wheels or swivel casters (some models feature five casters and two lockable/front-lock brakes) for easy repositioning. Portable file boxes typically add a carrying handle for transport.

Many file cabinets offer central locking systems that secure all drawers at once, while portable boxes often accept a small padlock for added security.

Many document drawers list compatibility with Letter and A4 files; several models also note support for Legal and F4 sizes.

Listings show multiple configurations, including 2-drawer and 3-drawer cabinets and larger multi-drawer chests (for example, 6-drawer models).

Dimensions vary widely: heights in the data range from about 11.5 in up to about 40.43 in, widths from about 10.88 in up to about 23.62 in, and depths from about 15 in up to about 35.5 in.
