Lockable Metal Filing Cabinet for Office Storage | 2, 3 & 4 Drawers
KAYOU metal filing cabinets provide dedicated drawer storage for office documents, folders and business records. The range shown includes 2, 3 and 4 drawer configurations, with a vertical cabinet layout, recessed handles and key locks. Choose the drawer count that suits your filing volume, then confirm the cabinet dimensions and internal file arrangement for your workplace.
For office furniture distributors, project buyers and purchasing teams, KAYOU offers a starting point for a coordinated document storage range. Custom dimensions, colors and filing requirements can be discussed before quotation.
Practical Features for Everyday Office Filing
Steel Cabinet Body
A metal cabinet body provides an enclosed place to organize paper records and office supplies. Its simple exterior suits administrative offices, school offices, reception areas and dedicated filing rooms. For procurement comparisons, specify the required body and drawer steel thicknesses alongside the drawer load requirement: material thickness alone does not describe the performance of the complete cabinet.
A Vertical Layout for Organized Storage
Stacked drawers help divide records by customer, department, project or year. This vertical filing cabinet format is useful where available wall width is limited. Measure both the cabinet footprint and the space needed in front of it with a drawer fully open, so users can retrieve files without obstructing a walkway.
2, 3 and 4 Drawer Choices
Select a cabinet by the amount of active paperwork and the way your team files it. A smaller cabinet can keep everyday documents close to one workstation, while additional drawers allow more categories within a single unit. Usable storage depends on drawer dimensions and the folders being stored, not simply the drawer count.
Key Locks for Controlled Access
The illustrated cabinets feature key locks for routine access control. Before placing an order, confirm whether the proposed lock secures every drawer, how keys are supplied and whether your project requires separate or shared key arrangements. Match the locking configuration to your workplace's document access needs.
Recessed Handles and a Clean Appearance
Recessed drawer handles keep the front profile tidy and easy to identify across a row of cabinets. The light-colored finish shown works with a wide range of office interiors. For coordinated projects or a distributor product range, discuss the required finish and color reference with KAYOU.
Which Drawer Configuration Should You Choose?
| Configuration | Typical filing use | What to check before ordering |
|---|---|---|
| 2 drawer filing cabinet | Everyday documents for one workstation or a smaller office | Overall height, usable drawer space and fit within the intended location |
| 3 drawer filing cabinet | Files divided between several activities or users | Drawer capacity, access space and document categories |
| 4 drawer filing cabinet | Department records and larger filing requirements | Overall height, upper-drawer access and installation requirements |
For a mixed office layout, combining different drawer counts can help align storage with each team's actual workload while maintaining a consistent appearance.
Confirm the Right Fit for A4, Letter or Legal Files
A4, Letter and Legal filing requirements should be specified before choosing a cabinet. A folder's outside dimensions, hanging hooks and rail arrangement can require more space than the paper itself.
Send KAYOU the file format, folder dimensions and preferred filing direction. If you use hanging folders, request confirmation of the internal drawer dimensions and compatible hanging rail arrangement. Compatibility must be checked for the selected model; it cannot be determined from the exterior photograph alone.
Custom Metal Filing Cabinets for Bulk Orders
KAYOU can discuss customization for office furniture supply and project procurement. Relevant requirements include cabinet size, drawer count, steel thickness, finish color, lock type, handle style, internal filing arrangement, logo and packaging.
For an accurate comparison between quotations, use one agreed specification across suppliers. Include the required drawer load, opening arrangement and any stability or interlock requirement. If inspection or testing is part of your procurement process, identify the required documents and acceptance criteria before confirming the order.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a metal filing cabinet used for?
A metal filing cabinet stores documents, folders and paper records in separate drawers. It helps offices organize active files by department, customer, date or project while keeping them enclosed when not in use.
2. Should I choose a 2, 3 or 4 drawer filing cabinet?
Choose according to your filing volume, available space and preferred working height. Two drawers suit smaller filing needs; three or four drawers provide more separate storage categories. Check usable drawer dimensions before estimating how many folders will fit.
3. Can these cabinets hold A4, Letter and Legal files?
Compatibility depends on the selected drawer dimensions and filing accessories. Tell KAYOU which format you use and whether you need hanging folders, so the correct arrangement can be confirmed before ordering.
4. Does one key lock all the drawers?
The pictures show a key lock on each cabinet, but the locking mechanism needs model-specific confirmation. Ask whether one lock secures all drawers and whether the key arrangement suits your office or project.
5. What is the load capacity of each drawer?
Drawer capacity depends on the complete design, including the drawer, slides and cabinet structure. Ask for the rated load of the quoted model and any supporting test information your project requires. No load rating is specified from these images.
6. Does the cabinet include an anti-tilt interlock?
An interlock cannot be confirmed from the photographs. If your purchase requires a mechanism that restricts opening to one drawer at a time, include it in the inquiry and request written confirmation for the selected model.
7. Is a steel filing cabinet fireproof or waterproof?
Steel construction alone does not establish a fire or water protection rating. If you require rated protection for important records, state the required performance and request supporting documentation for the exact product being quoted.
8. Can KAYOU customize the cabinets for wholesale orders?
Yes. Dimensions, drawer count, color, steel thickness, locks, filing arrangements, branding and packaging can be discussed. Availability and the final configuration will be confirmed against your order requirements.
9. Are the filing cabinets supplied assembled or flat packed?
Packing and assembly arrangements depend on the selected model. Ask for the supply condition, carton dimensions, gross weight and any assembly instructions before comparing freight costs.
10. What are the MOQ, price and production lead time?
These depend on the model, quantity, customization and delivery requirements. Send your specifications and destination to receive a quotation with the applicable minimum order quantity, production schedule and packing information.
