- How does it compare with a drawer file cabinet?
- It trades drawers for two full-height doors and shelves. You get more usable volume for boxes and supplies, but you have to open the doors and reach in rather than pull out a drawer.
- Does it lock?
- Most two-door metal cabinets in this style use a single keyed handle that locks both doors. Confirm the lock type on the unit you are considering, since some versions ship without one.
- Are the shelves adjustable?
- Adjustability varies by model. Check the shelf count and whether the shelves reposition, because fixed shelves limit what you can store.
- Can it hold letter and legal files?
- Yes, if you add hanging file rails or use file boxes on the shelves. It is not a drop-in replacement for a lateral file cabinet with built-in rails.
- Should it be anchored to the wall?
- Yes. A tall metal cabinet with loaded shelves can tip if a door is left open and someone leans on it. Anchor it to a stud or masonry wall.
- What is it made of?
- Steel panels with a white painted finish. Thicker gauge steel resists denting better, so compare weight and gauge between similar cabinets.
