Phoenix World Class Lateral File • Model LAT3W31

The Phoenix LAT3W31 is a 3-drawer, 31" wide lateral fireproof file cabinet that provides more protected filing capacity than the two-drawer model while retaining the narrowest footprint in the Phoenix World Class lateral line.

Its combination of a compact 31" width and practical 41-3/4" height makes it a strong choice for private offices, clinics, law offices, reception areas, home offices, school offices, accounting departments, and smaller records rooms that cannot accommodate a 38" or 44" wide cabinet.

The standard letter-size arrangement uses two front-to-back filing rows. Side-to-side letter or legal filing uses the appropriate hanging bars. Phoenix proprietary insulation separates each drawer into its own protected compartment, while the plunger lock secures all three drawers and the lock-bypass feature can keep selected drawers accessible.

Before ordering: Choose Black, Light Gray, or Putty; confirm the required filing-bar arrangement; and review the complete delivery route for the 500 lb. cabinet.

Phoenix LAT3W31 Features

  • Three full-width lateral drawers: Provides more filing capacity than a two-drawer cabinet without the height and weight of the four-drawer model.
  • Space-efficient 31" width: Preserves floor space and makes placement easier in narrower offices, hallways, records rooms, and doorway routes.
  • Practical 41-3/4" cabinet height: The top may serve as a standing-height sorting surface or support suitable office equipment when the placement area and floor conditions allow.
  • Flexible filing arrangements: Standard letter filing uses two front-to-back rows; hanging bars support side-to-side letter or legal filing.
  • 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 for stable, smooth operation.
  • 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 and water intrusion.
  • Key-operated plunger lock: Secures all three drawers at once and includes two keys.
  • Individual lock bypass: Allows selected drawers to remain unlocked and accessible while the cabinet’s other drawers stay locked.
  • Anti-tip interlock: Prevents more than one drawer from opening simultaneously.
  • Durable textured enamel finish: Choose Black, Light Gray, or Putty for professional office settings.

Phoenix Delivery Options

Choose one of three included delivery services for this 500 lb. cabinet. Commercial and residential delivery are available. The delivery route, truck access, service level, 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. Up to three interior steps may be accommodated; stairs and unusual access require advance review.

Dock or Curbside Delivery

INCLUDED

Dock delivery requires 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

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 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 Rated: Tested for impact resistance during a 30-foot fall, simulating structural collapse and falling debris 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 Media Protection: Provides protection for certain less-sensitive media, including CDs, DVDs, USB drives, and memory sticks. Use a Class 125 media safe for sensitive or magnetic media such as hard drives, tapes, or cartridges.
  • 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.
