Do vertical file cabinets offer protection from water damage?

Standard steel vertical file cabinets offer limited water resistance — their steel construction will resist minor splashes, but are not designed to be waterproof or to withstand flooding. Fire-resistant file cabinets provide some water ingress protection from fire suppression systems due to their insulated construction. For flood-prone areas, store critical documents in watertight containers within the cabinet. OfficeFurniture2go.com can advise on protection options — call 1-800-460-0858.
