locking file cabinet

Most locking file cabinets are compatible with standard hanging files in Letter, A4, and Legal sizes.

Many listings include anti‑tip protections such as an anti‑tipping wheel or interlock mechanisms that prevent more than one drawer from opening at a time.

Drawer mechanisms vary: many metal vertical cabinets use full‑extension, ball‑bearing slides with soft‑close operation, while some mobile or home units use three‑quarter or patented glide suspension slides.

Finish options include scratch‑resistant, fingerprint‑resistant matte wood surfaces and painted steel finishes described as non‑porous and easy to clean.

Weight capacity varies by model. In these results, some metal vertical cabinets list a total weight capacity of up to 120 lbs.
