4 Drawer File Cabinet – White Metal Vertical Filing Cabinet with Locks
4 Drawer File Cabinet – White Metal Vertical Filing Cabinet with Locks
This 4 drawer file cabinet is a tall, white, all-metal vertical filing cabinet, 14.96 inches wide, 17.72 inches deep and about 54 inches high. Each of the four drawers has its own key lock, a recessed handle and a label holder. Easy Life Markets sells it in white.
A vertical cabinet stores the most paper on the least floor. This one takes up a patch of about 38 × 45 cm and gives you four deep drawers for hanging files, box files or anything else that needs to be kept in order and shut away. Separate locks mean four people can each have a drawer, or you can lock the confidential ones and leave the rest open. The supplier's photos show it in a home office, a living room corner and an open-plan workplace.
What Is in the Box
The supplier's table lists keys as included components and states that assembly is required. It does not give a parts list, the number of keys or the tools needed. Ask us if you want those confirmed before ordering.

About the Brand
The supplier's table lists the brand and manufacturer as GangMei. We are passing on what the supplier states. Easy Life Markets is a retailer, not the manufacturer, and we make no claim to be an authorised dealer for the brand.
A Straight Answer on the Details
- Fix it to the wall. The supplier's photo states that the drawers can be opened at the same time. That is convenient when several people share the cabinet, and it means there is no interlock to stop the cabinet tipping. A tall, narrow cabinet with two or more loaded drawers pulled out can fall forward. Attach it to the wall as the supplier shows, load the bottom drawers first and open one drawer at a time.
- Weight limits. The table gives 240 lb. A photo shows a "55 lbs" badge without saying what it refers to. We read it as a per-drawer figure, which is roughly consistent with the total, but the supplier does not confirm it.
- "Moisture resistant" and "scratch resistant". These are the supplier's terms for the powder-coated finish. It will cope with a normal office. It is not rust-proof if the coating is chipped and it sits in the damp.
- "Lockable". The locks keep drawers shut and deter casual access. This is office furniture, not a safe, and it is not fire-rated.
- Hanging files. The supplier's photos show hanging folders in the drawers. Whether rails for them are included, and which sizes they are set for, is not stated.
- Not stated: Steel thickness, number of keys, slide type and whether hanging rails and wall fixings are supplied.
About Filing Cabinets
The filing cabinet is an office staple for a simple reason: it keeps paper upright, in order and easy to pull out. A vertical cabinet like this one has drawers that run front to back, with files facing you as the drawer opens. It needs little wall space, and it needs clear floor in front equal to the drawer length. Even in a mostly digital office, a locked drawer is still the simplest way to keep contracts, certificates and personal records safe from prying eyes.
Where to Put It
- Beside or behind a desk, within reach of your chair.
- In a corner, where one side and the back are protected.
- In a shared office, with a drawer per person, labelled.
- In a spare room or hallway, for household paperwork.
Allow about 45 cm in front for a drawer to open fully, plus room for you to stand. Stand it on a hard, level floor. On thick carpet a tall cabinet can lean.
Care
- Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry it.
- Do not overfill drawers. Paper is heavy, and overloaded slides wear quickly.
- Touch up chips in the coating to stop rust.
- Keep the spare keys somewhere safe, away from the cabinet.
- Check the wall fixing from time to time.
Who It Suits
Home offices, small businesses, schools and shared workspaces that need lockable paper storage in a small footprint.
