Lateral file cabinets are wider than vertical filing cabinets and store files from left to right. They are usually flatter than vertical file cabinets and aren’t as tall as vertical file cabinets. Horizontal file cabinets are the environmentally sound alternative to file storage boxes for your important invoices and orders.

Before deciding on a lateral file cabinet, consider how many drawers you will need to use, where you plan on storing it, and the type of finish you desire. At Quill, you can shop for lateral cabinets in a range of styles so you can something that will suit your space.

Rolling file cabinets are mounted on wheels, making them easier to transport. Many also have locking abilities to secure them in place. This is a great option if you’re going in and out of different rooms.
