Lateral File Cabinets — Expert Answer

Can lateral file cabinets be wall-mounted?

Standard freestanding lateral file cabinets are not designed for wall mounting due to their weight (100–300+ lbs loaded). There are purpose-built wall-mounted lateral filing systems (sometimes called panel-attached or wall-rail filing) that hang on a wall-mounted rail system, but these are distinct products from freestanding laterals. For most offices, freestanding laterals anchored at their top to the wall (for anti-tip only) is the standard approach.
