Lorell 60441 5-Drawer Lateral File 36x18x67 Putty office furniture

Five-drawer lateral file for high-volume filing

The Lorell 60441 provides five drawers in a 36-inch-wide cabinet finished in putty, giving offices a single unit that handles letter, legal and A4 documents side-to-side. A roll-out binder shelf adds a posting surface without using desk space, and the core-removable lock with dual locking bars secures confidential records. Interlock mechanics prevent more than one drawer opening at once, while a built-in counterweight stops the cabinet tipping forward.

Replaces multiple vertical cabinets

When document volume outgrows two-drawer units or scattered shelf boxes, this lateral file consolidates everything into one footprint and keeps folders visible in a single row. The jump is worth it when staff waste time hunting across locations or when floor space is limited but aisle clearance permits full drawer extension. It is not suited for buyers who need fire-rated protection or mobile pedestals that roll under a desk.

Install by levelling and loading heaviest files

Four adjustable leveling guides compensate for uneven floors; set them so the cabinet stands plumb before filling drawers. Ball-bearing slides operate smoothly when weight is distributed evenly, so load bottom drawers first to maintain stability. The magnetic label holders snap on without tools, and the core-removable lock cylinder can be swapped by a locksmith if keying needs change.
