file cabinet with lock and wheels

Most listings show two common construction types: metal/steel cabinets and wood-style cabinets. Descriptions often specify steel or metal construction for durability, or wood (frame) and wood finishes or veneer for a furniture look. Product pages also commonly note the surface finish (for example, powder-coated metal or a wood veneer), so check the listing for exact materials and coatings.

Many mobile filing cabinets are compatible with Letter, A4, and Legal hanging files. Listings commonly list compatibility as Letter/A4/Legal, but confirm the specific cabinet’s description to be sure.

Typical mobility features include lockable casters so the cabinet can be rolled and then secured in place. Many models use four lockable casters; some list a five-wheel system (a center caster for added stability/anti-tilt). Descriptions also sometimes note that wheels can be locked or removed — check the product details for caster type and functionality.

Most wheeled file cabinets use an integrated central lock that secures all drawers with a single lock. Listings commonly include one or two keys and may describe the setup as a one-lock system (sometimes noting backup keys). Check the product notes for lock type and key quantity.

Assembly varies by model. Some cabinets arrive fully assembled except for the casters (the wheels need to be attached), while others require more assembly and may state "adult assembly required". Check the product listing for the seller’s assembly/shipping notes.
