Storage & Filing — Lateral File Cabinets — Expert Answer
FAQPage structured data
Should I anchor a lateral file cabinet to the wall?
Yes — anchor 4- and 5-drawer laterals to the wall. A loaded 5-drawer unit can weigh 250–350 lbs with serious tip potential. Use the anti-tip bracket and anchor rows to the wall. FindOfficeFurniture.com includes anchoring instructions with all file cabinet deliveries — call 888-719-4960.
