File cribs or lateral filing rails can be fitted to some standard metal office cabinets to allow you to store files within a “normal” cabinet. A lateral filing rail will fit within the cabinet and you will need to allow space above to access the files without removing them from the cabinet while a file crib will pull-out to allow access. It is generally recommended that no more than two or three pull-out file cribs are fitted (depending on the cabinet) and that they are fitted to the lower half of the cabinet to prevent the cabinet from becoming top heavy. Understand your office file cabinet and make sure it works for you While both sizes of file will easily take A4 documents, foolscap files are slightly larger than A4 files and are designed to provide extra spacing around the documents within the file. Typically small desk high units and filing cabinets from high street retailers take A4 suspension files. Office filing cabinets and larger pedestals from office suppliers like Euroffice tend to take foolscap suspension files.Suspension file tabs are small plastic tabs that clip or slide onto the top of suspension files while tab inserts are the bits of card you label your files with and insert into the plastic tabs.

Both suspension file sizes have a depth of 240 mm A4 is slightly smaller than foolscap, as such, cabinets designed for A4 only are usually narrower so may be a better option if you’re short of space.Lateral files are used in cupboards and tambour units with the contents viewed,added or removed from the end of the file. The label tabis also located at the end of the file. Suspension files rest on parallel runners and the distance between them will determine which size of file can be used with your cabinet. Different suspension files have varying capacities. The most popular standard files (with a V-bottom)have a capacityof 15 mm of documents per file. If you have overloaded or over-crowded files you should consider the larger capacity square bottom files with either a 30 mm or 50 mm gusset. Lateral file cabinets have much wider drawers than a standard cabinet but are not as deep. Each drawer is fitted with two sets of suspension runners for storing two runs of files side-by-side.
