Certified Protection Ratings

The FireKing 4-4422-C is designed for real-world disaster protection, not just everyday office storage. The UL Class 350 1-hour fire rating helps protect paper records during severe fire exposure. The cabinet is also impact tested for a 30-foot drop after fire exposure, helping protect contents in conditions associated with building fires, falling debris, and structural collapse.

This model also includes ETL 30-minute digital media verification for common digital storage items such as hard drives, CDs, DVDs, and thumb drives. Important digital records should still be backed up off-site or in the cloud, but this added verification provides short-term protection for certain digital media stored inside the cabinet.

Water resistance is also important because sprinklers and fire hoses can damage files even when flames do not directly reach the cabinet. FireKing Classic lateral cabinets are designed to help protect contents from water exposure during emergency response.

Filing Features and Daily Use

• 44-1/2" wide lateral format provides maximum drawer width in the FireKing Classic lateral line.
• Letter and legal filing supports the most common office file sizes.
• High-side drawer bodies allow hanging folders without separate hanging folder frames.
• 4-drawer capacity is ideal for shared filing areas and large record collections.
• Independent drawer protection helps each drawer function as a separate insulated container.
• Wide drawer access improves visibility and makes large file groups easier to manage.

This cabinet is best for offices with heavy file volume. The wide lateral drawer layout makes it easier to store large groups of records by client, matter, patient, account, employee, department, property, year, or file category. For records that are accessed frequently, the lateral format can be easier to browse than deeper vertical file drawers.

Construction and Security

FireKing Classic lateral cabinets are built for long-term office use, disaster resistance, and secure records storage. The cabinet uses 100% gypsum fire-resistant insulation reinforced by a 1" x 2" lattice made of 14-gauge galvanized welded steel wire. Insulation between drawers helps each drawer act as a separate protected compartment.

The powder-coated finish is applied to all sides, including the bottom, and is designed to resist scratches and stains. Field-replaceable steel panels and drawer heads help extend the useful life of the cabinet if exterior damage occurs. Surface-mounted drawer pulls allow more insulation inside the drawer heads, improving the cabinet’s protective construction.

The UL-listed Medeco® high-security key lock provides stronger file security than a standard office cabinet lock. A two-position drawer catch allows access to selected drawers while drawers containing sensitive files can remain locked.

Color Options and Delivery

For the fastest delivery, choose one of our primary FireKing finish options: Black, Parchment, or Platinum. Additional FireKing powder-coated colors are available, including Arctic White, Ivory White, Tan, Taupe, Brown, Sand, Champagne, and Pewter. Non-primary colors typically require an additional 10-day lead time before shipment.

This cabinet weighs 1019 lbs. and ships by freight on a 53-foot tractor trailer. Standard delivery is intended for commercial business locations with safe truck access, normal receiving hours, and either a loading dock, forklift, or accessible curbside freight area.

Most commercial deliveries are straightforward when the delivery location has normal freight access and the correct delivery option is selected at checkout. Before ordering, please confirm receiving hours, dock access, driveway clearance, and the delivery point.

Delivery Options

• Dock or Curbside Delivery: Best for commercial locations that can receive freight from a full-size truck. The cabinet is delivered on a pallet, and the customer is responsible for moving it from the delivery point.
• Inside Doorway or Garage Delivery: Available as an upgrade for qualifying commercial or residential locations. This service is intended for delivery just inside the first accessible doorway, lobby, receiving area, or garage. The cabinet remains packaged and on the pallet.
• Full-Service Set-in-Place Delivery: Available as an upgrade for qualifying locations with ground-floor or elevator access. This service includes uncartoning, placement, and removal of packaging materials.

Step Limit: Inside delivery and full-service delivery are limited to no more than 3 steps up or down. If your delivery requires more than 3 steps, stairs, tight turns, long carries, restricted truck access, floor protection, a certificate of insurance, a special appointment request, or other unusual site conditions, please contact us before placing your order.

Residential Deliveries: Residential delivery is available; however, this item is a very heavy freight shipment and is best suited for curbside or garage delivery when shipping to a residence. If full-service residential delivery is needed, we may require a delivery review before shipment to confirm truck access, driveway access, doorway clearance, and a safe delivery path. The delivery carrier may be unable to complete full-service delivery if the delivery area is too tight, difficult, or unsafe.

Please review doorway width, hallway turns, elevator access, floor load concerns, and the final placement location before selecting inside delivery or full-service delivery. If you are unsure which delivery option is right for your location, contact us before ordering.
