Protection & Ratings
Paper protection
UL Class 350 protection for 1 hour at 1700°F.
Impact resistance
30-foot drop test after the burn test.
Explosion resistance
Tested for 2000°F explosion-hazard conditions.
Digital media
ETL 30-minute fire verification for hard drives, CDs, DVDs, and thumb drives.
Water resistance
Designed to help protect contents from sprinkler and fire-hose water exposure.
Independent drawers
Insulation between drawers helps each drawer function as its own protected compartment.
Important digital records should still be backed up off-site or in the cloud. The ETL rating provides limited short-term fire protection for certain media stored inside the cabinet.
Filing & Daily Use
The FireKing 2-3822-C is a practical middle option between the narrower 31" FireKing lateral cabinet and the wider 44" model. Its 37-1/2" width provides additional filing capacity while keeping the low profile of a 2-drawer cabinet.
Letter & legal filing
Supports the most common office file sizes.
37-1/2" lateral width
Provides more drawer capacity than the 31" model without requiring the full width of a 44" lateral cabinet.
Low-profile design
The cabinet stands only 27-3/4" high, keeping active files accessible and providing a practical office footprint.
High-side drawer bodies
Support hanging folders without separate hanging-folder frames.
Drawer interior
Each drawer measures 10-3/8" H × 31-15/16" W × 15-1/8" D.
Common uses include legal files, patient records, HR files, accounting records, contracts, titles, deeds, property files, client records, and other confidential or business-critical paper documents.
Construction & Security
- Gypsum insulation: 100% gypsum fire-resistant insulation forms the cabinet's thermal-protection system.
- Steel reinforcement: insulation is reinforced with a 1" × 2" lattice of 14-gauge galvanized welded steel wire.
- Independent drawer protection: insulation between drawers helps each drawer act as a separate protected compartment.
- Powder-coated finish: applied to all sides, including the bottom, and designed to resist scratches and stains.
- Field-replaceable panels: steel panels and drawer heads can be replaced if exterior damage occurs.
- Surface-mounted drawer pulls: allow additional insulation inside the drawer heads.
- Medeco® high-security lock: UL-listed lock provides stronger security than a typical office-cabinet lock.
- Two-position drawer catch: allows selected drawers to remain accessible while sensitive drawers stay locked.
Colors & Finish
For the fastest delivery, choose one of the primary FireKing finish options: Black, Parchment, or Platinum.
Primary colors
Black, Parchment, and Platinum.
Additional colors
Arctic White, Ivory White, Tan, Taupe, Brown, Sand, Champagne, and Pewter.
Lead time
Non-primary colors typically require an additional 10-day lead time before shipment.
Delivery & Placement
The FireKing 2-3822-C ships by freight on a 53-foot tractor trailer. Standard delivery is intended for commercial locations with safe truck access, normal receiving hours, and a loading dock, forklift, or accessible curbside freight area.
Dock or curbside
Best for commercial locations able to receive freight from a full-size truck. The cabinet remains on the pallet, and the customer is responsible for moving it from the delivery point.
Inside doorway / garage Upgrade
For qualifying commercial or residential locations. Delivery is just inside the first accessible doorway, lobby, receiving area, or garage. The cabinet remains packaged and on the pallet.
Full-service placement Upgrade
For qualifying locations with ground-floor or elevator access. Includes uncartoning, placement, and removal of packaging materials.
Access & placement
- Weight: cabinet weighs 497 lb. before files are added.
- Steps: inside and full-service delivery are limited to no more than 3 steps up or down.
- Receiving hours: confirm normal business receiving hours before shipment.
- Dock / curb access: verify the selected freight delivery point can accommodate a full-size truck.
- Doorways: measure exterior and interior doorway widths before selecting inside delivery.
- Hallways and turns: verify tight corners, narrow corridors, and long carries.
- Elevators: confirm elevator door opening, interior dimensions, and weight capacity.
- Truck access: disclose restricted roads, residential streets, limited-access locations, and small-truck requirements.
- Driveway clearance: confirm suitable access for residential or garage delivery.
- Floor: verify the final placement area can safely support the loaded cabinet.
- Special requirements: disclose floor protection, certificates of insurance, special appointments, or unusual site conditions before shipment.
Residential delivery is available, but this is a very heavy freight shipment. Curbside or garage delivery may be more practical where truck, driveway, or interior access is restricted. Full-service residential delivery may require an advance delivery review. Contact us if you are unsure which delivery option is appropriate.
Why Choose the 38" 2-Drawer Lateral?
The FireKing 2-3822-C combines a low 2-drawer profile with more filing width than the 31" model, without requiring the full wall space of the 44" lateral cabinet.
37-1/2" width
Provides a middle-width option between FireKing's 31" and 44" Classic lateral cabinets.
27-3/4" height
Low profile keeps files within easy reach and may provide a practical top surface for file sorting, equipment, or supplies.
Two drawers
Useful for active filing areas that need protected storage without the height of larger lateral cabinets.
31" vs. 44"
Choose the narrower 31" model when conserving wall space is the priority, or the 44" model when maximum drawer width is more important.
