The Lorell LLR60434 is a 42-inch wide lateral file cabinet designed for versatile storage of letter-size, legal-size, or A4-size folders. It features a durable steel construction, smooth-operating drawers with ball-bearing slide suspension, and a core-removable lock for security.

2. Safety Information

WARNING:

• Exercise caution when opening drawers; only one drawer should be open at a time to prevent tipping or injury.
• The interlock system prohibits the extension of more than one drawer at a time for your safety. Do not attempt to force multiple drawers open simultaneously.
• A counterweight is integrated to prevent tipping. Ensure the unit is placed on a level surface.
• Keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts, especially when closing drawers.

The Lorell LLR60434 Lateral File comes fully assembled and does not require additional assembly.

• Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the unit for any shipping damage.
• Placement: Place the file cabinet on a firm, level surface. The unit includes four adjustable leveling guides to ensure stability. Adjust these guides as necessary to eliminate any wobbling.

4.2 Filing and Storage

Each drawer includes hanging file rails, allowing for side-to-side filing of letter-size, legal-size, or A4-size folders. Arrange your files as needed for optimal organization.

The top drawer features a roll-out binder storage/posting shelf, providing convenient access and additional workspace when needed. This shelf can be pulled out for temporary use and pushed back in when not required.

4.3 Locking Mechanism

The file cabinet is equipped with a core-removable lock for security. Insert the key into the lock cylinder located at the top of the cabinet and turn to lock or unlock all drawers simultaneously. The dual locking bars ensure secure closure.

4.4 Magnetic Label Holders

Each drawer is fitted with a magnetic label holder. This allows for easy identification of drawer contents. Simply write or print your labels and attach them to the magnetic holders.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Lorell Lateral File, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Drawer Slides: Periodically check the ball-bearing slide suspensions for smooth operation. If they become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied, but this is rarely necessary with proper use.
• Leveling Guides: Re-check the adjustable leveling guides occasionally to ensure the cabinet remains stable on its surface.

6. Troubleshooting

• Drawers are stiff or difficult to open/close:
  • Ensure the cabinet is on a level surface. Adjust leveling guides if necessary.
  • Check for any obstructions inside the drawer or along the slide mechanism.
  • Verify that only one drawer is being opened at a time, as the interlock system will prevent others from opening.
• Lock is not engaging/disengaging:
  • Ensure all drawers are fully closed before attempting to lock the cabinet.
  • Check if the key is fully inserted and turned correctly.
• Cabinet feels unstable:
  • Adjust the four leveling guides at the base of the cabinet until it is stable.
  • Ensure the cabinet is placed on a flat, even floor.
