Phoenix Lateral Fireproof File Cabinet - 3 Drawer, 38" Wide - LAT3W38

The Phoenix LAT3W38 is a 3-drawer lateral fireproof file cabinet designed for legal and letter-size filing, with 1-hour fire protection, impact resistance, water resistance, and efficient 38" wide storage capacity.

The Phoenix LAT3W38 Fireproof Lateral File Cabinet offers a strong balance of filing capacity, certified fire protection, and a more space-conscious lateral footprint than wider 44" models. Its 38" wide format accommodates both legal and letter-size files, stored front-to-back or side-to-side, while the 3-drawer configuration gives offices added vertical capacity without moving into the full height and weight of a 4-drawer cabinet. Built with proprietary Styronite® insulation, the LAT3W38 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 3 Drawer 38" Lateral File Cabinet?

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.

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.

What are the exact dimensions and weight?

Who should choose a 3-drawer 38" lateral fireproof file cabinet?

A 3-drawer 38" lateral model is ideal for offices that need more filing capacity than a 2-drawer unit while maintaining a more compact footprint than a 44" wide cabinet. It is a strong fit for professional offices, administration departments, and records storage spaces that need secure lateral filing and a practical top surface for day-to-day office use.

Does the 3-drawer cabinet provide a usable work surface?

Yes. At 41-3/4" high, the top surface works well for printers, scanners, or additional office equipment while still keeping records securely protected below.

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.
