wood-filing-cabinetWhy all the fuss with filing cabinets? They without a doubt can be a very useful device for storing all your paperwork and files. Aside from the practicality, if you choose just the right design and style, it can blend well with your office room, thereby improving the overall aesthetics.

wood-4-drawer-filing-cabinetPersonally, I found that a wooden 4 drawer filing cabinet works very well for my office. Which ever one you decide on, as you do your shopping, you should take care to check the product thoroughly before handing over your cash. As obvious as this may sound now, I didn’t know at the time of purchase that you should check whether the wood is solid or just laminated on the surface.

File Cabinet locks are an excellent way to secure your file cabinet contents and comply with HIPAA regulations. The simple to use, easy to install bar securely fastens to the side of any file cabinet (1/2" of space needed next to drawers). Bar has a closed end for added security and a convenient knob for easy and smooth operation. This file cabinet lock can provide a second layer of security to those units with built-in locks or, if your keys are lost, these bars can provide an easy lock replacement system without having to replace the entire cabinet. THIS ITEM REQUIRES THE USE OF A PADLOCK. A padlock is not included, but we recommend the use of an ABUS 55/40 padlock, which is available as keyed-alike and keyed-different. If using your own, make sure it is a 40mm padlock and has a 1/4" shackle diameter. All of our products are brand new and in excellent condition. We provide professional packaging, quick shipping, and friendly customer service.

Sale Price: $229.00

This is the perfect system to use for garage storage, where wooden or metal cabinets would be likely to get dinged by yard tools, cars, and so on.The cabinet is easy to assemble-you don't need tools to do it, though a soft mallet may be helpful. As you expect with Rubbermaid products, the cabinet is almost indestructible. The one complaint I had is that when I put mine together in my basement the unevenness of the floor caused a slight misalignment of the doors. This was easily corrected with a shim placed under the front edge.Notable plusses include lightweight construction that makes relocating the cabinets easy and an amazingly small footprint for what it can hold. If you intend to store toxic items, you may want to consider ordering a set of locks from the manufacturer.Looking for affordable storage for your basement or garage? This is the unit for you.--Josh DettweilerWhat's in the BoxOne storage container; lock not included

Keep it versatile! Cabinetry is formed from compressed wood with laminate finish with a solid fiberboard back for strength and rigidity. The strong hardboard shelves form basic letter-sized compartments that adjust to increase the size of individual compartments for storage of books, 3-ring binders or personal mementos. Includes a metal rod adapter to store and organize CD's in the bottom two compartments. Black plastic molding complements finish while doubling as a convenient labeling area (labels are included).


Wooden filing cabinets come as either a solid wood or are made from medium density fiberboards (MDF) with laminated wood. The former is significantly more expensive than the latter which merely looks like wood but of course is not on the same level of quality. If you are low of budget, then the MDF filing cabinet is a fine choice, but make sure that the manufacturer or seller advertises it as such and prices accordingly.
