Buying for SchoolTrace Low Height 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. Open shelf lateral files do not need counterweight.
Laterals can store physical files making them essential for office or teacher organization to keep track of paper records. The safety interlock mechanism is integrated into the drawer slides, allowing only one drawer to open at a time. Drawers include full-height side panels. Two file bars are included on lower drawer for side-to-side filing. Drawer bins will accommodate A4, Letter, and Legal size filing.
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.
