What are the dimensions of the drawers in a Steel 2 Drawer Filing Cabinet?

Hey there! As a supplier of Steel 2 Drawer Filing Cabinets, I often get asked about the dimensions of the drawers in these cabinets. Well, let's dive right in and explore this topic.

First off, the dimensions of the drawers in a Steel 2 Drawer Filing Cabinet can vary based on a few factors. One of the main things that affect the size is the intended use of the cabinet. Are you planning to store letter - sized documents, legal - sized papers, or maybe something else like folders with special items?

For a standard Steel 2 Drawer Filing Cabinet designed to hold letter - sized documents, the width of each drawer is usually around 15 inches. This width allows for easy placement of letter - sized folders side by side. The depth of the drawer, which is important for fitting the length of the documents, is typically about 22 - 24 inches. This gives enough space to fully accommodate letter - sized papers without them sticking out.

Now, if you're dealing with legal - sized documents, things change a bit. The width remains similar, around 15 inches, but the depth needs to be greater. Usually, for legal - sized papers, the drawer depth is around 28 - 30 inches. This extra depth ensures that your legal documents fit neatly inside the drawers without any bending or crumpling.

The height of the drawers also matters. In most Steel 2 Drawer Filing Cabinets, each drawer has a height of about 10 - 12 inches. This height is great for stacking multiple folders on top of each other. You can have different categories of documents in separate folders and stack them vertically within the drawer.

Another aspect to consider is the overall build of the cabinet. Some cabinets have a more robust construction, which might add a little bit to the outer dimensions but not necessarily to the interior drawer space. However, this robust build can be great for durability, especially if you're going to be accessing the drawers frequently.

When it comes to the capacity of these drawers, with the standard dimensions I mentioned earlier, you can store quite a lot. For letter - sized drawers, you can easily fit around 20 - 30 folders depending on how thick they are. And for legal - sized drawers, you can store a similar number of folders, just with the larger document size.

Now, if you're thinking about different types of filing cabinets, we also have some other great options. For example, we offer a Five Drawer Filing Cabinet.
