Phoenix Fireproof File Cabinet, 2-Drawer, 31" Deep for Legal Files (LGL2W31)

Phoenix LGL2W31 Fireproof File Cabinet, 2-Drawer, Legal and Letter Size, 31″ Deep

The Phoenix LGL2W31 is a full-depth two-drawer vertical fireproof file cabinet for protecting legal- and letter-size paper records. It combines Class 350 one-hour fire protection, impact and explosion resistance, water-resistant drawer construction, and a key-operated plunger lock.

The 31-inch exterior depth provides 26 inches of interior filing depth in each drawer, making this model a strong choice for offices that need greater capacity than a compact 25-inch cabinet without the height of a four-drawer file. Adjustable filing components accommodate legal- and letter-size hanging folders, while individually insulated drawers help protect closed compartments even if another drawer is open.

• Private offices, reception areas, and compact records rooms

Choosing the Right Phoenix File Cabinet

31″ vs. 25″ Depth

Choose the LGL2W31 when maximum drawer capacity is more important than conserving floor depth. Choose the LGL2W25 when aisle space, tighter delivery routes, or a compact office footprint make a 25-inch cabinet more practical.

Two Drawers vs. Four Drawers

Choose this two-drawer model for a lower cabinet profile or a moderate records collection. Choose the LGL4W31 when you need approximately twice the number of protected filing drawers within a similar floor footprint.

Legal/Letter vs. Letter-Only Filing

Choose the wider LGL2W31 when legal-size storage or mixed legal-and-letter filing is required. Choose the narrower LTR2W31 when all records are letter size and conserving cabinet width is more important.
