How do I childproof a filing cabinet in an office that has child visitors?

If children regularly access your office — a pediatric practice, family law office, or child-friendly small business — filing cabinet safety matters. Key steps: ensure the anti-tip mechanism functions correctly (a loaded cabinet tip is a serious injury hazard for children). Keep all drawers closed when not in use. For offices where children may be unattended in any area, consider locking all filing cabinets routinely rather than only when closing the office. Avoid placing anything attractive to children on top of filing cabinets, which could tempt climbing. If the office has young children who may be curious, choose cabinets without sharp-edge drawer pulls. A cabinet that anchors to the wall provides the highest tip-over protection.
