How do I set up a central filing room using lateral file cabinets?

Central filing rooms are a project type we've planned extensively over our 30+ years at OfficeFurniture2go.com. A well-designed central file room begins with a linear footage calculation: multiply your active file count by average folder thickness to determine total inches, then convert to drawer needs based on each cabinet's usable depth (typically 25–27" per drawer). We account for aisle widths meeting ADA 36" minimums, wall-anchored anti-tip systems compliant with OSHA tip-over prevention guidelines, and a uniform filing methodology appropriate to your document types. We can also recommend open-shelf filing components for higher-density sections. Call 1-800-460-0858 for a central filing room consultation — we'll develop a layout plan and cabinet specification.
