Fireproof Cabinets — Expert Answer
Are vertical or lateral fireproof cabinets easier to access?
Lateral fireproof cabinets are generally easier to access because their wide drawers require less depth clearance in front — you can access files from a shorter distance. Vertical cabinets require deeper clearance in front for the full drawer extension. Lateral cabinets also allow front-facing file folders, which are more legible at a glance. However, vertical cabinets fit in narrower wall spaces. The best choice depends on your office layout and available floor space. OfficeFurniture2go.com — call 1-800-460-0858.
