Lateral files are designed to store letter and legal-size folders front-to-back or side-to-side. If you need to file large records, we recommend deep files but most lateral files will accomdate most types of documents. We carry three types of lateral files: metal lateral files, wood lateral files, and open shelf files. Our series of metal lateral files are created by HON, Safco, and Tennsco and are available in a large selection of colors, drawer options, and sizes. Open shelf files are easily adapted to fit your exact space and you can choose the dividers, shelves, and system you need. Our wood lateral files are attractive, durable, and easy to care for. Any of our lateral file systems are ideal for office or home use.
