Can I reconfigure the hanging file direction in a vertical file cabinet?

Standard vertical file cabinets are designed for front-to-back filing — files are indexed from the front to the rear of the drawer. Unlike lateral file cabinets (which can be reconfigured for side-to-side or front-to-back filing), vertical file cabinets do not offer directional conversion. The drawer depth and width are optimized for front-to-back hanging folder orientation. OfficeFurniture2go.com carries lateral files if side-to-side filing is needed — call 1-800-460-0858.
