Can the drawers in a fireproof filing cabinet be removed for cleaning?

On most commercial fireproof filing cabinets, drawers can be fully removed by fully extending them until the release mechanism disengages, allowing the heavy drawer to be lifted out of the slides. This facilitates thorough interior cleaning. Be aware that fireproof drawers are extremely heavy — a single full-extension drawer can weigh 40–80 lbs — and should only be removed by two people. Always reinstall before loading files. OfficeFurniture2go.com can provide drawer removal instructions — call 1-800-460-0858.
