How many file folders fit in a single drawer of a fireproof filing cabinet?

A single drawer in a standard vertical fireproof filing cabinet (letter size) typically holds approximately 150–200 letter-size file folders in hanging file frames, depending on how full each folder is. For thinner documents, you can fit more; for thick project files, fewer. A legal-size drawer holds proportionally fewer folders due to the larger individual folder size. For practical planning: figure that active working files average about 1" per folder (fat with papers) and use 20–25 folders per linear foot of drawer space. At 15" of usable depth, a standard vertical drawer holds roughly 18–20 fat folders. Compare specific models' linear filing inch specs at FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960.
