Phoenix World Class Lateral File • Model LAT2W38

The Phoenix LAT2W38 is a 2-drawer, 38-3/4" wide lateral fireproof file cabinet that combines generous letter- and legal-size filing capacity with a low 28-3/4" profile, one-hour paper protection, 30-foot impact protection, and water-resistant construction.

The LAT2W38 provides more drawer width than the 31" model while using less floor space than the 44" cabinet. Its lower height makes it a practical choice for private offices, reception areas, administrative workstations, shared offices, and records areas that do not require a taller three- or four-drawer file.

The standard filing arrangement supports two front-to-back rows of either letter- or legal-size folders. Optional hanging bars allow letter- or legal-size folders to be filed side-to-side. Phoenix proprietary insulation separates each drawer into its own protected compartment, and the plunger lock secures both drawers while the lock-bypass feature can keep a selected drawer accessible.

Before ordering: Choose Black, Light Gray, or Putty; confirm standard front-to-back filing or optional hanging bars for side-to-side filing; and review the complete delivery route for the 483 lb. cabinet.

Phoenix LAT2W38 Features

  • Two full-width lateral drawers: Provides wide, accessible filing capacity in a lower-profile cabinet that fits more office layouts than a taller three- or four-drawer model.
  • Low 28-3/4" cabinet height: The top may serve as a light-duty file-sorting surface or support suitable office equipment when the placement area and floor conditions allow.
  • Separately insulated drawers: Insulation between drawers makes each closed drawer an individual protected compartment if another drawer is open.
  • Three-way drawer suspension: Supports each loaded drawer from both sides and underneath.
  • High drawer bodies and filing crossbars: Supports letter- or legal-size hanging folders in the standard front-to-back arrangement.
  • Inner and outer steel construction: Proprietary insulation is fully encased between steel walls and kept away from documents, suspension hardware, and the locking system.
  • Insulated welded drawer heads: Each drawer head interlocks with the cabinet body through the labyrinth sealing system to help resist heat transfer.
  • Key-operated plunger lock: Secures both drawers at once and includes two keys.
  • Individual lock bypass: Allows a selected drawer to remain unlocked and accessible while the other drawers stay locked.
  • Anti-tip interlock: Prevents more than one drawer from opening simultaneously.
  • Recessed metal pulls with label holders: Provides a durable grip and a clear place to identify drawer contents.
  • Durable textured enamel finish: Choose Black, Light Gray, or Putty for professional office settings.

Phoenix Delivery Options

Free full-service delivery is included for this 483 lb. cabinet. Commercial and residential delivery are available. The delivery route, service level, truck access, and placement conditions are confirmed before shipment.

Full-Service Set-in-Place Delivery

INCLUDED

The delivery crew brings the cabinet inside along an approved route, uncartons it, positions it in the designated location, and removes standard packaging. Stairs and unusual access conditions require advance review.

Dock or Curbside Delivery

AVAILABLE

For dock delivery, the facility must have dock-height receiving and the ability to unload the pallet. For curbside delivery, the carrier lowers the packaged cabinet to ground level and leaves it outside at the nearest safely accessible hard surface.

Inside Doorway or Garage Delivery

AVAILABLE

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 with this service level.

Tell us about special access before shipment. Stairs, tight turns, elevators, narrow doors, long carries, small-truck access, restricted or remote locations, and other unusual site conditions may require advance approval and additional charges. Undisclosed conditions may cause delivery fees or restocking charges if the cabinet is returned.

Fire and Protection Ratings

  • Class 350 One-Hour Paper Protection: Tested for one hour at 1700°F to help keep paper records below their critical temperature during a fire.
  • 30-Foot Impact Certified: Tested for impact resistance during a 30-foot fall, simulating a structural collapse during a fire.
  • Explosion-Hazard Tested: Tested for sudden exposure to 2000°F flash-fire conditions to evaluate resistance to explosive rupture.
  • MTC Grade B 30-Minute Media Rating: Provides limited protection for certain less-sensitive media such as CDs, DVDs, USB drives, flash drives, and memory sticks. Use a dedicated media safe for sensitive or magnetic media.
  • Water-Resistant Construction: The labyrinth sealing system and special gaskets help resist water from automatic sprinklers and fire-hose spray. Water resistant does not mean waterproof or suitable for submersion.
