How do I prevent a vertical file cabinet from tipping?

Only use the anti-tip interlock mechanism and never open more than one drawer simultaneously — this is the most important safety practice. For top-heavy 5-drawer cabinets, anchor the unit to a wall stud using an approved furniture anchor strap. Never place heavy items on top of a file cabinet. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, we provide anti-tip anchoring guidance with all tall cabinet orders — call 1-800-460-0858 for installation safety details.
