Trace Lateral File - Great Openings

Trace Lateral File - Great Openings

Requires a counterweight unless they are ganged back-to-back with another lateral file or otherwise tethered to a permanent structure. Without counterweights or ganging box/file laterals side-by-side will not ensure stability and does not meet ANSI-BIFMA standards.

Laterals can store physical files making them essential for office or teacher organization to keep track of paper records. This classic design can be applied low profile to keep the space visually open, or up to six high to provide high density filing. The safety interlock mechanism is integrated into the drawer slides, allowing only one drawer to open at a time. 5-high and 6-high include top flipper door that stows over-the-top, revealing either a roll-out or fixed shelf.  Trace lateral files with flipper door on top, when installed in a "built-in" wall situation will require a minimum of 1-1/2" clearance above the cabinet for the flipper door to go up and over the top. Flipper compartment features 13-1/4" inside clear height for binder storage. The lock strip on 4-high and 5-high laterals is located above the fourth drawer. In 6-high laterals, the lock strip is located above the fifth drawer.

Conversion bars allow for front-to-back filing in 18-1/4" and 17-3/8" deep lateral files. Use 2 bars each in 36" and 42" lateral drawers for legal size filing.
