How long will a commercial vertical file cabinet hold up?

A commercial-grade steel vertical file cabinet should last 20–30 years or more in a standard office environment. The drawer slides and the lock cylinder are the most likely wear points, but both are replaceable. Consumer-grade cabinets made with thin-gauge steel or poor drawer slides often fail within 5–10 years of regular use.
