Storage & Filing — Expert Answer
What is a security bar on a filing cabinet and is it worth it?
A security bar (also called a card bar or label rail) runs along the top of each drawer and holds index label cards to identify drawer contents. It's a minor feature but a useful one — it keeps drawer labels organized, replaceable, and visible at a glance. Higher-end cabinets often include label holders on each drawer from the factory; budget cabinets may have just a slot or nothing. This isn't the same as a security lock — if you're thinking about anti-theft, that's the key lock on the cabinet. For any shared filing system, proper drawer labeling is the difference between an organized office and a frustrating one.
