Can a fireproof cabinet be leveled on an uneven floor?

Yes — most fireproof filing cabinets include adjustable leveling feet or can have furniture leveling pads placed under the base to compensate for minor floor irregularities. This is important because an unlevel cabinet causes drawers to drift open or closed on their own, which is both inconvenient and a potential safety hazard. To level: use a bubble level on top of the cabinet, adjust the leveling feet (typically with a wrench or pliers), and recheck. On significantly uneven concrete floors (common in older buildings), shimming with steel plates under the leveling feet works well. Never place a fireproof cabinet on an uneven floor without leveling — it undermines anti-tip stability. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960.
