Lorell 60557 2-Drawer Lateral File 30x18x28 Black office furniture

Two-Drawer Lateral File 30" Wide

This Lorell 60557 lateral file provides two side-to-side drawers that accept letter, legal and A4 folders on the included hanging rails. The core-removable lock secures both drawers, while an interlock mechanism allows only one drawer to open at a time. A built-in counterweight prevents the cabinet from tipping forward when a drawer is fully extended. Steel construction with recycled content meets ANSI/BIFMA standards for commercial use.

Steel Ball-Bearing Slides and Leveling Guides

Each drawer rides on a three-part steel ball-bearing suspension that operates smoothly without lubrication or adjustment. Two adjustable leveling guides compensate for uneven floors so the unit sits stable on carpet or hard surfaces. Monochromatic drawer pulls blend with the black finish for a uniform appearance. The interlock and counterweight work together to keep the cabinet balanced during daily filing tasks.

Upgrades from Single-Drawer or Vertical Filing

The 30-inch width doubles the filing front compared with a single-drawer unit, cutting the number of cabinets needed for the same volume of records. Builders who need fire-rated storage or more than two drawers will require a different product. Offices moving from front-to-back vertical files gain faster side-to-side access without increasing the floor footprint. The jump is worth it when high-density letter and legal filing must share one footprint.
