What are the standard interior dimensions of a lateral file cabinet drawer?

Interior drawer dimensions are a specification detail that matters for hanging folder selection and filing capacity calculations. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, we provide full interior dimension specifications for every cabinet we sell. Typical usable drawer dimensions for our commercial 36" lateral are approximately 33"–34" wide, 24"–26" deep (front to back, accommodating hanging file rails), and 10"–11" tall internally. The 42" wide model provides approximately 39"–40" of usable width — meaningfully more folder capacity per drawer. When calculating LFI, always use the usable interior width rather than the cabinet's exterior width. We can provide full spec sheets for any model prior to your purchase decision.
