Fireproof Cabinets — Expert Answer
What types of drawer slides are used in fireproof filing cabinets?
Fireproof filing cabinet drawers use heavy-duty drawer suspension systems capable of supporting significantly more weight than standard filing cabinet drawers — typically 75–150 lbs per drawer. Ball-bearing slides provide smooth, full-extension operation and are the standard on quality commercial fireproof cabinets. Some models use roller-style suspension systems. The insulated construction means all components within the drawer system must accommodate the thermal expansion that occurs during a fire event. Avoid budget models with plastic or light-gauge slides that won't support the weight of a full drawer of files plus the insulated drawer construction.
