36-inch lateral file for document storage

The Alera 17631 is a two-drawer lateral file cabinet designed for office environments that need to organise letter or legal hanging files. Its 36-inch width provides substantial filing capacity in a footprint measuring 36.00 by 18.00 by 28.00 inches. The charcoal powder-coated finish resists scratches and suits professional settings. This unit suits administrators and teams managing paper records.

Full-extension slides with anti-tip interlock

Drawers run on steel ball-bearing telescoping slides that extend fully for complete access to rear folders. An anti-tipping interlock system permits only one drawer to open at a time, reducing tip-over risk when the cabinet is loaded. Four adjustable leveling glides compensate for uneven floors. Recessed radius-edge pulls keep the front profile clean and snag-free.

Side-to-side hang rails for letter and legal files

The drawers include side-to-side hang rails that accept both letter and legal hanging folders without conversion kits. A single key core removable lock with two keys secures both drawers simultaneously. First listed by the manufacturer in 2024, the cabinet arrives new and ready to assemble. Buyers needing front-to-back filing rails or more than two drawers should consider other configurations.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 17631 lateral file so the anti-tipping interlock works correctly?

Place the cabinet on a level floor, turn each of the four adjustable glides until the unit sits without rocking, then test that only one 36-inch drawer opens at a time — the interlock engages automatically when the glides are set properly.

What part of the 17631 will need attention after extended use?

The steel ball-bearing telescoping slides and the removable core lock are the moving components; lubricate the slides if they stiffen and keep the two supplied keys safe because the core is not user-serviceable.

Which limit appears first when both drawers are fully loaded day after day?

The anti-tipping interlock prevents opening a second drawer while the first is extended, so the practical limit is one fully loaded 36-inch drawer at a time rather than total weight capacity.
