Filing cabinets designed to store files and/or file folders upright and perpendicular to the front of the cabinet (i.e., lateral filing). These cabinets typically consist of a metallic or wooden stand-alone structure, including one or more drawers that can accommodate letter-, A4-, and/or legal-size documents; they may include side-to-side rails to hang file folders. Lateral filing cabinets frequently include locking systems and/or mechanisms that allow only one drawer to open at a time to avoid tipping; they are available in many different configurations and sizes.
