Buying guide
Refurbished filing cabinets — 2-drawer under-desk and 4-drawer full-height metal filing cabinets, professionally cleaned and mechanically tested for UK buyers. Filing cabinets remain an essential piece of office infrastructure for any business that handles physical documentation — and that includes the majority of UK legal practices, accountancy firms, estate agents, GP surgeries, schools, and HR departments. Our refurbished models deliver the same lockable, organised, high-capacity filing as new, at a considerably reduced cost.
The 4-drawer metal filing cabinet is the standard specification for offices with substantial filing requirements — each drawer accommodating 40–50 A4 or foolscap suspension files, with anti-tilt interlocking and central locking as standard. At approximately 1320mm tall, it maximises vertical space rather than floor area, making it the most efficient filing solution per square metre of office space. The 2-drawer under-desk cabinet is the compact alternative: at approximately 710mm high, it slots neatly beneath a desk return or alongside a workstation, providing accessible filing and personal storage without requiring a dedicated cabinet zone.
GDPR and document security: Both cabinet formats feature central locking mechanisms — all drawers secured simultaneously with a single key, two of which are supplied. For businesses with GDPR obligations, professional information security requirements, or simply a need to protect confidential client and employee records, a lockable filing cabinet is a compliance necessity as much as an organisational one.
All filing cabinets are cleaned inside and out, runners lubricated and tested, and locking mechanisms verified before dispatch. Available in Grey, Anthracite, White, and Black. Free UK mainland delivery. Bulk pricing available for orders of 5 or more units. Trade accounts welcome.
