Fellowes Compact Vertical File Cabinet

Fellowes has sold several compact filing products with different folder formats, so capacity cannot be inferred from the brand name alone. The model specifications should explicitly state letter, legal, A4, or a combination before folders are purchased.

Some Fellowes file cabinets include a lock, while lightweight organizers and archive units may not. A lock on an office cabinet deters casual access but is not equivalent to a fire-rated or burglary-resistant document safe.

Assembly requirements vary between steel drawer cabinets and compact filing organizers sold under the Fellowes name. Retail listings should identify whether the cabinet is fully assembled or requires handles, casters, or panels to be fitted.

Any narrow vertical cabinet can become unstable if several loaded drawers are opened together. The cabinet should be placed on a level surface and, when the instructions provide for it, secured with the supplied anti-tip hardware.
