Filing cabinets - not as dusty as they sound
Filing cabinets are sized precisely to the standard dimensions of file folders or hanging files and therefore make optimal use of the available space. But they are not just practical. There are various choices - with or without a door, with roller shutters or double doors, glass or opaque doors. Carefully chosen filing cabinets can be designed very attractively, create a living atmosphere and contribute to a pleasant room atmosphere. If you decorate open shelves with flowers or decorative items, for example, or place a lamp with pleasant light in them, then this piece of furniture can become very attractive. Also pay attention to the uniformity of the folders you use by choosing a nice color and labeling the backs of the folders consistently with an easy-to-read label in a pleasant font. Then you have incorporated a stylish element into your room instead of a utensil with a dusty reputation. At the same time, you keep your desk tidy and can concentrate better on essential tasks.
Meet documentation requirements
Filing cabinets are perfect for keeping documents and data organized and secure. Many models are equipped with a lock, which is important for sensitive data.
It is required by law that companies must retain certain documents for 10 years; for business letters, the retention period is 6 years. Even with increasing digitalization, there is still a need for safe, secure storage options for many documents. So take the time to think carefully about the purchase of filing cabinets - also with a view to the long term.
Size of cabinets - what is OH?
Filing cabinet sizes are often specified in OH. This stands for folder height. Most cabinets have a 5 or 6 OH file height, meaning they can store five or six rows of standard A4 folders. Please note that if there are more than 6 OH, the top row can only be reached with a ladder. If you want to do without the ladder or there is no space for it, then we recommend a maximum of 5 or 6 OH, depending on your height.
