The Safco 5-Drawer Steel Flat File delivers heavy-duty, organized protection for large 36" x 48" documents, blueprints, and artwork. Built from durable steel with 22-gauge cabinet construction, it operates smoothly on case-hardened ball-bearing rollers equipped with positive closures and courtesy stops.
Each unit features five spacious drawers designed with rear hoods and hinged front depressors to prevent sheets from curling or tearing. The versatile file supports up to 500 active, 750 semi-active, or 1,000 inactive sheets per cabinet to keep high-volume archives flat and pristine.
Engineered for professional design firms, engineering offices, and construction workflows, this cabinet can be deployed individually or arranged in space-saving stacks. Integrated label holders streamline filing retrieval, while an optional lock kit provides extra document security.
