What is the difference between a lateral file cabinet and a bookcase with doors?

A lateral file cabinet has interior suspension rails designed to support hanging file folders in a front-to-back or side-to-side orientation. A bookcase with doors has adjustable shelves designed for books, binders, and supplies — not hanging files. If you need to file documents, choose a lateral file cabinet. If you need general shelved storage, a bookcase works better. OfficeFurniture2go.com carries both — call 1-800-460-0858 for guidance.
