How do I move a fireproof filing cabinet safely during an office relocation?

Empty all drawers before moving — a loaded fireproof cabinet can weigh 500+ lbs. Use a heavy-duty appliance dolly rated for the cabinet's empty weight, and secure the drawers closed with tape or straps to prevent opening during transport. Two or more movers should handle the cabinet to prevent injury. Never tilt a fireproof cabinet more than 45° on its side — this can shift internal insulating material and damage the structure.
