Paper protection
UL Class 350 protection for 1 hour with exterior furnace temperatures reaching 1700°F.
Impact resistance
Tested to withstand a 30-foot drop while maintaining cabinet integrity.
Explosion resistance
Tested for sudden exposure to 2000°F flash-fire conditions.
Water resistance
Labyrinth seals and gaskets help resist water from automatic sprinklers and fire-hose spray. Water-resistant, not waterproof.
Protected drawers

Insulation

Filing & Drawer Configuration
The Phoenix LAT2W31 supports both letter- and legal-size files arranged either front-to-back or side-to-side. Its 31" wide cabinet and low profile make it useful for offices where a larger 38" or 44" lateral cabinet would take up too much space.
Letter filing
Letter-size files can be arranged front-to-back or side-to-side.
Legal filing
Legal-size files can be arranged front-to-back or side-to-side.
Drawer interior
Each drawer measures 10-1/2" H × 25" W × 15" D.
Low cabinet profile
The cabinet stands only 28-3/4" high, making it practical for smaller offices and work areas.
Features & Everyday Use
- Compact 31" lateral footprint: provides wide-drawer access where a 38" or 44" lateral cabinet would require too much floor or wall space.
- Low 28-3/4" profile: works well in private offices, home offices, reception areas, exam rooms, administrative workstations, and smaller records areas.
- Two full-width drawers: keep active letter- or legal-size records organized and accessible.
- Flexible filing: both letter and legal files can be arranged front-to-back or side-to-side.
- Styronite® insulation: Phoenix proprietary insulation surrounds the protected filing space.
- Separately insulated drawers: each drawer functions as its own protected compartment.
- Key-operated plunger lock: secures both drawers at once and includes two keys.
- Anti-tip interlock: prevents more than one drawer from opening simultaneously.
- Heavy-duty suspension: supports smooth operation when drawers are loaded.
- Professional finish: available in Black, Light Gray, or Putty.
Delivery & Placement
Free white-glove delivery is included for the Phoenix LAT2W31. Commercial and residential delivery are available, and the service level and access details are confirmed before shipment.
Full-service white-glove Included
The cabinet is brought inside, placed in the approved final location, unpacked, and standard packaging is removed. Service includes a maximum of three steps inside the building. Allow approximately 10 business days.
Dock-to-dock Available
Best for commercial locations with dock-height receiving and equipment to unload the shipment. The packaged cabinet is left on the pallet at the loading dock.

- Final placement: confirm sufficient floor space and drawer-opening clearance.
Stairs beyond the included limit, 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. Ask us about your delivery requirements.
Choosing the Right Lateral File
The LAT2W31 is designed for applications that need protected letter- and legal-size filing in a compact, low-profile cabinet.
LAT2W31
Choose the 2-drawer, 31" model when compact size, low height, and easy placement are the priorities.
LAT3W31
Choose the 3-drawer, 31" model when additional protected filing capacity is needed without increasing cabinet width.
LAT4W31
Choose the 4-drawer, 31" model when maximum protected capacity is needed in the narrow 31" footprint.
Wider laterals
Consider 38" or 44" Phoenix lateral files when greater drawer width is more important than conserving floor and wall space.

Warranty
3-year parts and labor warranty.
