What is a high-security lateral file cabinet?

High-security lateral file cabinets meet specific standards for forced-entry resistance — they typically feature heavy-gauge steel bodies (12–14 gauge), reinforced drawer frames, three-point locking mechanisms that engage at the top, bottom, and middle of the drawer face, and pick-resistant lock cylinders. Government agencies often require GSA-approved security containers for classified document storage, which are a separate category from standard commercial lateral files.
