How long do commercial lateral file cabinets last?

Commercial steel lateral file cabinets are the longest-lasting product category in office furniture — OfficeFurniture2go.com has clients with cabinets 25+ years old still in active daily use. The structural frame is virtually indestructible under normal conditions; serviceable components are the drawer glides, lock cylinders, and finish. We specify commercial-grade cabinets with full-suspension ball-bearing glides that can be replaced if needed — extending the useful life well beyond even the manufacturer's warranty period. Budget-grade alternatives have neither the structural quality nor the serviceable component architecture to achieve comparable longevity. When buying a lateral file cabinet, buy commercial grade and buy once. Call 1-800-460-0858.
