Phoenix Lateral Fireproof File Cabinet - 2 Drawer, 38" Wide - LAT2W38

The Phoenix LAT2W38 is a 2-drawer lateral fireproof file cabinet designed for legal and letter-size filing, with 1-hour fire protection, impact resistance, water resistance, and space-saving 38" wide storage.

The Phoenix LAT2W38 Fireproof Lateral File Cabinet offers dependable fire protection in a more compact lateral footprint. Its 38" wide format supports both legal and letter-size files, stored front-to-back or side-to-side, while the lower 2-drawer profile makes it a practical fit for private offices, administrative workstations, and spaces where a full-width lateral cabinet is needed without the added height of taller models. Built with proprietary Styronite® insulation, the LAT2W38 carries a UL Class 350 fire rating and is tested to withstand 1700°F for 1 hour. Each drawer is independently insulated to help protect contents even if one drawer is open. This model is available in Black, Light Gray, or Putty finishes.

Who Should Choose a 2 Drawer 38" Lateral File Cabinet?

A 2-drawer 38" lateral fireproof file cabinet is a smart choice for offices that want the filing convenience of a lateral cabinet while keeping a tighter overall footprint than wider models. The Phoenix LAT2W38 works especially well in private offices, reception areas, smaller administrative spaces, and departments that need secure document storage with wide drawer access but do not need the added capacity or height of a 3-drawer or 4-drawer unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Full Service Delivery included?

Yes. Free white glove full service delivery is included with this model. Our delivery team will place the cabinet in your desired location and remove all packaging materials. If you only need dock delivery or liftgate service, those options are also available and typically ship faster.

Can the cabinet be delivered to a second floor?

Yes, when a suitable elevator is available. If stair delivery is required, prior authorization and additional fees may apply. Contact us for a detailed quote.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery time depends on the service selected. Full service delivery typically takes about 10 business days. Liftgate and dock delivery usually ship in 1-2 business days.

Does it fit both legal and letter-sized files?

Yes. The Phoenix LAT2W38 includes accessories for front-to-back or side-to-side filing of both legal and letter-sized documents.

What are the exact dimensions and weight?

The cabinet measures 28-3/4" H x 38-3/4" W x 23-5/8" D and weighs 483 lbs.

Who should choose a 2-drawer 38" lateral fireproof file cabinet?

A 2-drawer 38" lateral model is ideal for offices that want wider drawer access than a narrower cabinet while maintaining a more compact footprint than a 44" wide model. It is a strong fit for professional offices, administration areas, and records storage spaces where secure filing capacity matters but floor space is still a consideration.

Does the 38" width help with placement?

Yes. The 38" width gives you more filing width than the smaller 31" models while remaining easier to place in tighter offices and work areas than the 44" wide versions.

Are all drawers fireproof even if one is open?

Yes. Each drawer is independently insulated to ensure fire protection even if another drawer is open.

Will this fit through narrow hallways or doorways?

In many cases, yes, but you should always measure hallways, door openings, corners, and elevator access before delivery. The narrower overall width can make this model easier to place than wider lateral cabinets.

What colors are available?

This cabinet is available in Black, Light Gray, and Putty finishes.

What does the warranty cover?

The Phoenix LAT2W38 includes a 3-Year Parts and Labor Warranty and a Lifetime After-a-Fire Unit Replacement Warranty.
