Where is the best place to position a fireproof filing cabinet in an office?

Position the fireproof cabinet: away from windows (exterior walls can heat up during a fire), away from flammable storage areas, on a load-bearing floor section, with full drawer clearance in front (typically 18"–24" clearance for full extension), and near the workspace of the primary user to encourage consistent use. In multi-story buildings, lower floors are preferable for very heavy cabinets. Interior walls provide better fire insulation than exterior walls. OfficeFurniture2go.com — call 1-800-460-0858.
