Storage & Filing — Expert Answer

My filing cabinet got dinged and dented — can it be repaired?

Minor surface scratches can be touched up with matching touch-up paint (available from the manufacturer or a auto body touch-up kit for close color matches). Small dents in the cabinet body are typically cosmetic and don't affect function — they can sometimes be pushed out from inside if accessible, or left as-is. Severely dented drawers that don't open or close properly are harder to fix; you may need to replace the drawer rather than the whole cabinet. If the anti-tip mechanism, lock, or drawer slides are damaged in a way that affects safe use, contact the manufacturer — many commercial-grade cabinets come with lifetime warranties that cover structural repairs.
