Five-Drawer Lateral File 36" Wide
The HON 685LP 600 Series lateral file provides five drawers in a 36-inch wide, 67-inch high steel cabinet finished in black. It is designed for offices that need high-capacity filing within a compact footprint. The all-weld case construction and double-walled base deliver durability for high-activity environments.
Upgrade From Smaller Cabinets
This cabinet replaces two- to four-drawer units when filing volume exceeds their capacity and floor space cannot accommodate a wider cabinet. The jump is worth it when daily access to both letter and legal folders is required and a single locking point for all drawers simplifies security. The mechanical interlock prevents multiple drawers opening simultaneously.
Capacity And Stability Limits
Five drawers with side-to-side hangrails handle letter or legal hanging folders, while the included counterweight meets ANSI/BIFMA stability requirements when a drawer is extended. Four adjustable leveling glides compensate for uneven flooring. The cabinet reaches its practical limit when stored material exceeds the drawer suspension rating or when a wider lateral footprint is needed.

Questions about this item
How much floor space does the 36" wide cabinet need for the leveling glides?
The unit measures 36.00" wide by 19.25" deep; four adjustable leveling glides sit at the corners of that footprint to compensate for uneven flooring.
What is the correct way to load the five drawers so the mechanical interlock works?
Install the included side-to-side hangrails for letter or legal folders, then load files evenly; the interlock allows only one drawer to open at a time, preventing tip-over when a single drawer is pulled.
When should the counterweight be checked or the ball-bearing suspension lubricated?
The counterweight is factory-installed to meet ANSI/BIFMA stability requirements and requires no routine inspection; the heavy-duty steel ball-bearing suspension is sealed and maintenance-free for the life of the cabinet.
