  4. Locking Mechanisms: Many classic file cabinets come with built-in locks to secure sensitive documents. The locking mechanisms are usually located on the top drawer and can be simple key locks or more advanced locking systems.

  5. Mobility: While some vertical file cabinets are stationary and meant to be placed in a fixed location, others have casters for easy mobility, allowing you to move them around the office as needed.

  6. Aesthetics: Classic vertical file cabinets often have a simple and timeless design to fit into various office settings. They come in different finishes and colors to match the office decor.

  7. Usage: Vertical file cabinets are essential for keeping paperwork organized and accessible. They are commonly used in offices, home offices, and other workspaces to store important documents, records, and supplies.

  8. Brands: Some well-known brands that offer classic file cabinets include HON, Steelcase, Lorell, Sauder, and Bush Furniture. These brands are recognized for producing durable and functional file cabinets.
