Phoenix World Class Lateral File • Model LAT3W44

The Phoenix LAT3W44 is a 3-drawer, 44" wide lateral fireproof file cabinet that balances high-capacity letter- and legal-size filing with an accessible 41-3/4" cabinet height, one-hour paper protection, 30-foot impact protection, and water-resistant construction.

This model is a practical middle ground for offices that need more capacity than a 2-drawer lateral file without the height of a 4-drawer cabinet. It is well suited to law firms, healthcare practices, financial departments, schools, government offices, administrative teams, and other records-heavy organizations.

The standard letter-size arrangement uses three front-to-back filing rows. 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 all drawers while the lock-bypass feature can keep selected drawers 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 771 lb. cabinet.

Phoenix LAT3W44 Features

  • Three high-capacity lateral drawers: Provides substantial filing capacity at a more accessible height than a 4-drawer lateral cabinet.
  • 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 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 all three 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.

  • Durable textured enamel finish: Choose Black, Light Gray, or Putty for professional office settings.

Phoenix Delivery Options

Free white-glove delivery is included for this 771 lb. cabinet. Commercial and residential delivery are available. The delivery route, service level, truck access, and placement conditions are confirmed before shipment.

Full-Service White-Glove 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

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

  • NT Fire 017 60 Paper Rated: Includes a one-hour fire test at 1700°F. Phoenix states that this classification is considered equivalent to UL Class 350 1-Hour Fire and Impact protection for paper records.
  • 30-Foot Impact Certified: Tested for impact resistance during a 30-foot fall in compliance with KIS standards, simulating 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.
