Operating Instructions
Drawer Operation and Anti-Tipping Device
The file cabinet is designed with full-extension ball bearing slides for smooth opening and closing of drawers. To open a drawer, gently pull the handle. To close, push the drawer firmly until it is fully seated.
For safety, the cabinet includes an interlock device that prevents both drawers from being opened simultaneously. This mechanism helps to maintain stability and prevent the cabinet from tipping over. Always ensure one drawer is fully closed before attempting to open the other.

File Organization
The drawers are equipped with movable stainless steel hanging rods to accommodate various file sizes, including letter, legal, and A4. You can configure the rods to hold two columns of letter-size folders, or a combination of letter, legal, or A4 sizes.
