42" Two-Drawer Lateral File Cabinet

The Alera ALEHLF4229PY is a 42-inch wide lateral file cabinet designed for office environments that need high-capacity document storage. It suits administrative teams, records rooms and home offices where letter- and legal-size files must sit side by side in a single footprint.

Upgrade from vertical cabinets

Replacing a vertical file cabinet with this lateral model doubles the number of files per drawer because folders run side to side instead of front to back. The jump is worth it when floor space is wider than it is deep and when staff need full-extension access to every folder without reaching into a deep cavity.

Limits of side-to-side hanging rails

The 19-1/4 inch drawer depth accepts letter and legal folders on the supplied rails only; it does not accommodate front-to-back filing or oversize binders. The mechanical interlock allows just one drawer open at a time, so simultaneous access to both drawers is not possible. Keyed-alike shipping means separate locks require a special order.

Questions about this item

How much floor space does the 42" cabinet need for the drawers to fully extend?

The unit is 42 inches wide; allow at least 19-1/4 inches in front so both drawers can reach full extension on their three-section ball-bearing slides.

What is the step people skip when installing the leveling glides on the Alera ALEHLF4229PY?

After positioning the cabinet, turn each of the four adjustable glides until the unit sits level and does not rock; an unleveled cabinet can prevent the mechanical interlock from engaging properly.

Which parts of the Alera ALEHLF4229PY are most likely to need replacement after heavy daily use?

The steel ball-bearing slide suspension on each drawer and the lock cylinder are the wear items; the slides can be serviced individually and the lock can be re-keyed if required.
