Lateral Filing Accessories FAQs

 

How Do You Keep Files Upright in Filing Cabinet?

Your best bet here is to use file dividers or hanging file folders. These sit in the drawers and let you slot your files in, keeping them standing straight. If you've got a half-empty drawer, you can pop in a bookend or a sturdy piece of cardboard to fill the gap and stop files from flopping over.

How Do You Make Filing Cabinets Look Good?

To spruce up a filing cabinet, you could paint it a colour that matches your room. Adding some cool stickers or decals can also work if you're the crafty type. If it's in a home office, popping a plant or some decorative items on top can make it blend in more with your decor.

How Do I Keep My File Cabinet From Tipping?

To stop your file cabinet from tipping, don't open more than one drawer at a time. Also, storing heavier files in the bottom drawers is a good idea. Some cabinets come with anti-tip mechanisms that only allow one drawer to be opened at a time to stop tipping.

What Is the Best Way To Organise Hanging File Folders?

For hanging file folders, organising them alphabetically, by date, or by category works well. Use tabs or labels on each folder for easy identification. Keep the most frequently used files towards the front of the drawer for quick access.

What Do I Need To Keep in My File Cabinet?

It's really up to you, but usually, it's best to keep documents that are important but not needed daily. This includes tax records, important receipts, legal documents, and personal files like medical records or warranties. It's a secure spot to keep things organised and out of the way.

How Do I Organise and Declutter Files?

Start by sorting through everything. Toss out (or shred) anything outdated or no longer needed. Group similar documents together and label each group. Digitising certain documents can also help reduce physical clutter!

Where Should Heavy Materials Be Kept in a Filing Cabinet?

Heavy materials should be stored in the lower drawers of your filing cabinet. This helps keep the cabinet stable and prevents it from tipping over. If you have a lot of files, always fill the bottom draws first to keep the weight down low and maintain balance.
