Can drawers be removed from a fireproof filing cabinet?

Most fireproof filing cabinet drawers can be removed for maintenance or to facilitate moving the cabinet, though the process is different from standard filing cabinets due to the heavy-duty suspension and insulated construction. The removal typically requires fully opening the drawer to the stop, pressing or releasing a lever on the slides, and lifting out the drawer. Fireproof cabinet drawers are very heavy due to the insulation and steel construction — even an empty drawer can weigh 30–50 lbs. Never attempt to move a fireproof cabinet with drawers installed; always remove drawers first to reduce weight and prevent center of gravity issues.
