Delivery & Placement
Choose the delivery method that matches your receiving capabilities and desired cabinet placement. Commercial and residential delivery are available.
Full-service placement Included
The delivery crew brings the cabinet inside along an approved route, uncartons it, positions it in the designated location, and removes standard packaging. Up to three interior steps may be accommodated; stairs and unusual access require advance review.
Dock or curbside Included
Dock delivery requires dock-height receiving and unloading capability. Curbside delivery lowers the packaged cabinet to ground level at the nearest safely accessible hard surface.
Inside doorway / garage Included
The packaged cabinet is moved through one accessible ground-level exterior doorway or into an accessible garage. Final placement, unpacking, stairs, and packaging removal are not included.
Access & placement
- Weight: cabinet weighs 668 lb. before files are added.
- Doorways: measure exterior and interior doorways and allow clearance for moving equipment.
- Hallways and turns: confirm narrow corridors and tight corners can accommodate the cabinet.
- Elevators: verify elevator door opening, interior dimensions, and weight capacity.
- Stairs: disclose stairs or steps before shipment; special approval may be required.
- Truck access: disclose small-truck requirements, restricted roads, remote locations, and delivery-hour restrictions.
- Floor: final placement area must be level and able to support the loaded cabinet.
- Drawer clearance: provide sufficient space in front for each drawer to open fully.
Undisclosed stairs, restricted access, long carries, narrow doors, elevators, remote locations, or other unusual site conditions may result in additional delivery or restocking charges. Ask us about your delivery requirements.
Choosing the Right Lateral File
The LAT4W31 is the narrowest four-drawer cabinet in the Phoenix World Class lateral line. It is particularly useful where protected filing capacity is important but wall width, hallways, doorways, or office space are limited.
LAT4W31
Choose the 4-drawer, 31" model when you need substantial protected storage in the narrowest Phoenix four-drawer lateral footprint.
LAT3W31
The 3-drawer, 31" model provides the same narrow width with a lower cabinet profile.
LAT2W31
The 2-drawer, 31" model is suited to smaller record collections or applications requiring a substantially lower cabinet.
38" or 44" widths
Choose a wider Phoenix lateral file when additional drawer width and filing capacity are more important than conserving floor or wall space.

Phoenix 3-year parts and labor warranty against qualifying manufacturer defects.
After-fire protection
