Your Most Common Questions, Answered
1. What is the difference between an office file cabinet and a regular cupboard?
An office file cabinet is purpose-built for storing documents in a structured, accessible way. Unlike cupboards, filing cabinets have drawers designed for suspension files, standard paper sizes, and quick retrieval. They also offer better security options and space optimisation for offices that need organised record management.
2. Why choose a drawer steel filing cabinet over wooden or plastic alternatives?
A drawer steel filing cabinet is more durable, resistant to wear, and offers higher security. Steel construction ensures drawers don’t warp, lock mechanisms stay reliable, and the cabinet can handle years of daily use in busy office environments.
3. What sizes of filing cabinets are available?
Filing cabinets typically come in 2-drawer, 3-drawer, and 4-drawer options. A 2-drawer unit is compact for smaller offices, while 3- and 4-drawer models provide more capacity for expanding records. Dimensions are standardised to fit suspension files and folio documents.
4. What is a fire resistant filing cabinet and why might my business need one?
A fire resistant filing cabinet is specially engineered with fire-rated materials to protect important documents in case of fire. Businesses handling legal, financial, or medical records often choose these cabinets to comply with safety regulations and safeguard sensitive information.
5. Can a filing cabinet help with compliance and secure document storage?
Yes. Lockable filing cabinets help organisations comply with privacy regulations by ensuring documents are not left unsecured. Models with security bars or central locking provide added protection for sensitive files.
6. What is a folio cabinet and how does it differ from a standard filing cabinet?
A folio cabinet is designed specifically for larger-sized documents such as architectural drawings, legal folios, or oversized reports. While a standard filing cabinet is suited to A4 and suspension files, a folio cabinet offers deeper or wider drawers to store non-standard documents without folding.
7. Which businesses benefit most from a fire resistant filing cabinet?
Industries such as finance, healthcare, education, and legal services rely heavily on fire resistant filing cabinets. These sectors often store sensitive or irreplaceable records where document protection is critical for compliance and continuity.
8. How do I choose between a 2-, 3-, or 4-drawer steel filing cabinet?
The choice depends on office size and storage volume. A 2-drawer cabinet is ideal for small offices or individual managers, a 3-drawer balances compact size with moderate capacity, and a 4-drawer is best for high-volume record keeping in larger organisations.
9. What colour and finish options are available for office file cabinets?
Most office file cabinets are available in neutral finishes like Ivory Karoo and Hammertone Grey, which suit modern office interiors. Some suppliers also offer custom colours on request for corporate branding consistency.
10. Are steel filing cabinets secure enough for sensitive documents?
Yes. Steel cabinets are fitted with lock mechanisms and can be enhanced with security bars for additional protection. This makes them suitable for storing confidential HR, medical, or financial records.
11. Do filing cabinets require assembly, or are they delivered ready-to-use?
Most filing cabinets are delivered fully assembled and ready-to-use. This ensures drawer alignment, locking systems, and overall structural integrity are intact upon delivery.
12. What should I consider when buying a drawer steel filing cabinet?
Key considerations include the number of drawers needed, space available in the office, locking and security features, weight capacity per drawer, and whether fire resistance is required for compliance.
13. How long do steel filing cabinets typically last?
A well-maintained steel filing cabinet can last 10–20 years. Durability depends on build quality, usage frequency, and keeping the cabinet in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
14. Are there weight limits for drawers in office file cabinets?
Yes. Most drawer steel filing cabinets are engineered to carry heavy document loads, but weight capacity varies by model. On average, drawers can hold between 25–45kg each without compromising smooth operation.
15. Can filing cabinets be exported outside South Africa?
Yes. Dreymar Industrial is a SADC-certified exporter, meaning filing cabinets can be shipped across borders in Southern Africa. This makes them a reliable option for regional buyers who need quality storage solutions delivered directly.
