Fire Proof Files
Fire Proof File Concepts

Fire Proof Files protect your vital media from hazardous fire and floods.

Productivity Rating: Fire Proof Filing Cabinets allow for a maximum of only 35 file actions per hour. This translates into a low productivity rating and will slow down active environments where files are constantly moving in and out of cabinets. However, with fire proof files, productivity generally is no where near as important as the safety of vital records. File Cabinets can be used to store media many different ways. MegaStar Systems Vertical Carousel Electric Lateral Files offer a fire supression system to supress fires inside of a vertical carousel. Click Here for more information.

Lateral Files- file cabinets that are 30" W or more and around 19" D to 22" D.

Ways to file in a Lateral File:

Left to right- right to left- Storing records from one side of your filing cabinet to the other is very common in lateral files.

Front to back 2 or 3 rows across- Storing records front to back 3 rows across in a 42" W lateral file will actually give you 45" of filing inches in a 42" W drawer.

Front to back and side to side- Storing records both front to back and side to side is also another way of filing your records in a lateral file.

Vertical Files- file cabinets that are 2 to 5 drawers high and are available in letter and legal size widths.

Ways to file in a Vertical File:

Front to back- Storing records front to back in a vertical file is the most common use of this cabinet.

Media Vaults- small sized fire proof vaults for storing multi-media. Vaults are used to place in the drawer of a vertical or lateral fire proof file for most secure protection from fire or hazard.
