FireKing Turtle Fireproof File Cabinet, 4-Drawer, 22" Deep for Letter or Legal Files (4R1822-C)

FireKing Turtle 4R1822-C Fireproof File Cabinet

The FireKing Turtle 4R1822-C provides four-drawer fireproof filing capacity in a space-saving 22-1/8-inch-deep cabinet. It accommodates letter-size hanging folders front-to-back or legal-size hanging folders side-to-side and carries a UL Class 350 one-hour fire-and-impact rating.

This compact vertical file is designed for offices, records departments, medical facilities, schools, and government agencies that need substantial protected storage without the depth of a conventional 25-inch or 31-inch fireproof cabinet. Separately insulated drawers, recessed pulls, high-sided drawer bodies, and a standard four-pin key lock support secure everyday filing.

Product Specifications

Why Choose the FireKing Turtle 4R1822-C?

• Four-drawer protected capacity: Stores a high volume of active records within a narrow vertical footprint.
• Space-saving cabinet depth: The 22-1/8-inch chassis occupies less front-to-back floor space than deeper vertical fire files.
• Letter and legal filing: High-sided drawer bodies support hanging folders without separate filing frames.
• Separately insulated drawers: Insulation between drawers makes every drawer an individual insulated container.
• Fire, impact, and explosion protection: UL testing addresses prolonged fire exposure, structural impact, and sudden high-temperature conditions.
• Digital-media protection: ETL verification covers the specified hard drives, optical discs, and USB flash drives for 30 minutes.
• Water-resistant construction: Designed to resist water damage from sprinkler systems and fire-hose spray.
• Replaceable components: Steel exterior panels and insulated drawer heads can be replaced if damaged.
• Maintenance-free suspension: Supports smooth drawer operation without routine suspension adjustment.
• Recessed drawer pulls: Minimize protrusions and help conserve usable aisle space.

Filing Arrangements and Clearance

Letter-size hanging folders file front-to-back. Legal-size hanging folders file side-to-side. Allow approximately 41-1/8 inches of total depth from the back of the cabinet when a drawer is fully extended.

Choosing the Right Fireproof File Cabinet

Four Drawers vs. Two Drawers

Choose the 4R1822-C when you need greater protected capacity within one cabinet footprint. Choose the two-drawer 2R1822-C for a smaller record collection, a private office, or a location where a lower cabinet is easier to use.

22-1/8″ vs. 25″ or 31″ Depth

The Turtle is designed for offices with limited aisle clearance or compact delivery paths. A deeper FireKing vertical file provides greater filing depth per drawer but requires more floor and operating space.

Turtle vs. FireKing Classic

Choose the Turtle when space-saving depth and dependable general key-lock security are the priorities. Consider a FireKing Classic file when deeper drawers, a high-security lock, or additional lock-upgrade choices are required.
