A filing cabinet (or file cabinet in
the United States) is a piece of office equipment that
is useful for temporary and permanent storage. It is
usually used for the storage of paper in a file
folder. The two most common forms of filing cabinets
are lateral files and vertical files.
A vertical file has drawers that extend from the short
side (typically 15 inches) of the cabinet. A lateral
file has drawers that extend from the long side
(various lengths) of the cabinet. These are also
called side filers in Great Britain.

Horizontal file
Henry Brown, an African American inventor, patented a
"receptacle for storing and preserving papers" on
November 2, 1886. This was a fire and accident safe
container made of forged metal, which could be sealed
with a lock and key. It was special in that it kept
the papers separated.
The vertical filing cabinet (vertical file cabinet in
the United States) more or less as in use today was
invented by Edwin G. Seibels in 1898.[1] He was
working in his father's insurance office and realized
that the then current system of folding papers into
envelopes and storing them in pigeon holes could be
improved if the folding was dispensed with. The
documents could then be stored in large envelopes (hangfiles)
vertically, in drawers.
The use of filing cabinets was greatly expanded as a
result of the commercial distribution of Xerography
machines starting in 1950. This event enabled office
workers to "have their own copy" of printed materials.
Another influence is the expansion of government
regulations that require businesses to create and keep
forms and other documents. Some prognosticators have
suggested the future of the filing cabinet is in doubt
as electronic filing systems proliferate and become
lower in cost. Nevertheless, most businesses are still
purchasing computer systems with printing
capabilities. Unless this trend is reversed, filing of
paper is still a viable practice.
In the US, these come in two sizes: for letter-size
paper and legal-size paper. Most modern
commercially-oriented vertical filing cabinets in the
US are manufactured in two, three, four, and five
drawer versions in depths of 25, 26 1/2, and 28
inches. The drawers are typically supported on a
three-member suspension system that allows the drawer
to be fully extended for complete access.
The four drawer vertical file, letter width, is the
version purchased by most businesses. The two drawer
file is sold mostly for use alongside a desk. The five
drawer file is mostly purchased by Federal, State, and
Local governments (in a 28 inch deep version) as it
typically provides the lowest cost per filing inch.
Three drawer files, the least popular version, have
the advantage of being at "countertop" height so end
users can easily retrieve files and use the top of the
cabinet as a work area to examine file contents.
The drawers of most vertical filing cabinets are
engineered to accept hanging file folders as these
have come to dominate the way most users store
information. Some files still have a "follower block"
in each drawer. This is a device that adjusts the
apparent depth of the drawer interior so that files
are kept upright in the drawer. These are the legacy
of a time when most filing was done with manila
folders rather than hanging files.
For home offices or lighter use applications, vertical
files are manufactured in 18 inch deep versions. These
typically have two-member suspensions and the drawers
do not fully extend.
Lateral file
Lateral files are typically 20 inches deep and
manufactured in 30, 36, and 42 inch widths and 2, 3,
4, and 5 drawer versions. The 30 inch wide, 2 drawer
version is popular for use inside cubicle workstations
as it is engineered to fit under or alongside the
cubicle work surfaces. Logic for the use of 3, 4, and
5 drawer files is similar to that of vertical files.
Unlike vertical files, most lateral files allow for
side-to-side or front-to-back filing.
For letter size files arranged front-to-back, the 30
and 42 wide files are the most effective as the
maximum amount of filing per cabinet is enabled. A 36
inch wide file, with letter width filing front-to-back
has no more capacity than a corresponding 30 inch wide
file.
Some users prefer side to side filing, as they can
search index tabs from a seated position. All width
lateral files can accommodate this configuration,
though the capacity of the file is somewhat
diminished.
An advantage for lateral files is that access and view
of all files can be easier than with a vertical file
because the drawers do not extend as far.
Filing outside the US
Foreign firms offer filing cabinets that permit A4
paper to be used in addition to letter-size. Double
file cabinets whose drawers each can accommodate two
racks for folders side by side.
Many European companies engineer filing systems that
accommodate hanging folders only; there are no drawer
bottoms. In the US, most file drawers still have
bottoms in the drawers so materials of any sort can be
stored.
UK file cabinets are slightly different from US in the
width of the rails which support the suspension files,
the US ones being narrower; the UK sizes are known as
A4, foolscap and A3. |
