Should fireproof filing cabinets be inspected annually?

Annual inspection is recommended: check the intumescent door seals for damage or gaps, test the lock (ensure it operates smoothly and all drawers lock and unlock correctly), inspect the anti-tip mechanism by verifying only one drawer opens at a time, check the base and feet for damage, and verify the floor loading has not shifted. Also check for interior moisture or mold if you're in a humid climate. OfficeFurniture2go.com can provide inspection checklists — call 1-800-460-0858.
