Is this cabinet for letter-size or legal-size files?

This FireKing lateral cabinet can be used for letter and legal filing. The extra-wide 44-1/2" drawer design gives offices maximum filing width in a lower-profile 2-drawer layout.

What is the advantage of a 44" wide 2-drawer lateral fireproof file cabinet?

A 44" wide 2-drawer lateral cabinet provides the widest drawer access in a lower cabinet height. It is useful when you want wide file visibility and strong capacity while still keeping the top of the cabinet easier to use as a working-height surface.

This 44" wide model provides more drawer width and filing capacity than the 31" or 38" models. The 31" model saves the most wall space, the 38" model is a middle option, and the 44" model provides the largest 2-drawer lateral filing width.
