Flat File Cabinets — Expert Answer
What prevents flat file drawers from being pulled out completely?
Commercial flat file cabinets include drawer stops — typically a built-in stop mechanism in the drawer slide or suspension system that prevents the drawer from being pulled all the way out and falling out of the cabinet during normal use. These stops are engaged at the point of full extension, allowing full access to the drawer contents while retaining the drawer safely in the cabinet. Some models allow the stop to be bypassed (by pressing a release mechanism) for drawer removal during maintenance. Proper drawer stops are an important safety feature on cabinets loaded with heavy drawings — a drawer falling out of its track could cause serious injury or document damage.
