How do I keep a vertical file cabinet from tipping over?

The most important safety step is never opening more than one drawer at a time — the anti-tip interlock mechanism on commercial cabinets prevents this by physically blocking other drawers when one is open. In addition, anchor tall (4-drawer) cabinets to the wall with an anti-tip strap, especially in seismically active areas or high-traffic spaces. Never override or disable the interlock.
