What happens if you open multiple drawers on a filing cabinet at the same time?

Without an anti-tip interlock, opening two drawers simultaneously on a loaded filing cabinet can cause it to tip forward — files are heavy, and the extended load shifts the center of gravity dramatically. A quality commercial filing cabinet includes an interlock that physically prevents a second drawer from opening while one is already extended. It's a standard safety feature on BIFMA-compliant units and one of the specifications worth confirming before purchasing. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960.
