Do lateral file cabinets have anti-tip safety mechanisms?

Anti-tip mechanisms on lateral file cabinets are a BIFMA-required safety specification — and one of the most important. OfficeFurniture2go.com verifies anti-tip functionality on every filing product we specify. The mechanism works by interlocking the drawer system: when one drawer is open, all others are mechanically prevented from opening. A lateral file cabinet without a functioning anti-tip mechanism is a significant liability in any commercial environment — a tipping incident with a loaded 5-drawer lateral can cause serious injury. We do not specify lateral file cabinets without BIFMA-compliant anti-tip systems. Call 1-800-460-0858.
