600 Series Three-Drawer Lateral File
The HON 683LP is a 36-inch wide lateral file built for high-activity filing in offices, schools, hospitals and government settings. Three full-width drawers provide side-to-side hanging rails that accept both letter and legal folders.
Factory counterweight and mechanical interlock
A factory-installed counterweight meets ANSI/BIFMA stability requirements where applicable, and a mechanical interlock prevents more than one drawer opening at once to inhibit tipping. Heavy-duty three-part telescoping steel ball-bearing suspensions deliver smooth operation tested for decades of use, while the lock secures both sides of each drawer and uses HON One Key interchangeable cores.
36-inch width with letter or legal capacity
The 36-inch width accommodates high-density side-to-side filing for letter or legal documents, and optional front-to-back rails can be added for even denser letter filing. Four adjustable leveling glides compensate for uneven floors even when drawers are fully loaded, and the double-walled base resists tampering while strengthening the case.

Questions about this item
What maintenance will the steel ball-bearing suspension on the HON 683LP need over time?
The heavy-duty, three-part telescoping suspension is tested to simulate decades of use and is designed to perform flawlessly without routine lubrication or adjustment.
What limit appears first when all three 36"W drawers are loaded and opened repeatedly?
The mechanical interlock allows only one drawer to open at a time, preventing tipping and making stability the governing limit under sustained high-activity filing.
How much noise or heat does the HON 683LP produce during all-day operation?
As a passive steel cabinet with no powered components, it generates no heat and no operational noise beyond the quiet glide of the ball-bearing drawer suspension.
