      Choose the Right Cabinet for Your Space

      For tighter layouts, a sliding-door cabinet provides access without doors swinging into a walkway. Our 1200mm-wide steel cabinet has adjustable shelves and a low profile that can also help define different areas in an open-plan workspace.

      A mobile filing cabinet keeps documents and stationery close to your desk. The two-drawer models combine a standard drawer with a larger file drawer, with castors for easy repositioning. Measure the clearance beneath your desk before choosing a unit.

      Lockable Storage and Individual Staff Lockers

      Lockable cabinet doors and drawers help keep everyday documents and belongings secure. For shared workplaces, six-door and nine-door steel lockers provide separate compartments for individual users. These locker doors accept padlocks, which are purchased separately.

      Plan Your Office Storage Before You Buy

      Check the cabinet's external dimensions, internal layout, shelf capacity and door or drawer clearance against what you need to store. Adjustable shelving suits mixed-size items, while individual lockers work well for staff belongings. Assembly requirements vary: tall cabinets and lockers come flat packed, while the mobile filing cabinets are supplied assembled.

      Complete the workspace with a three-hole metal planter box for a compatible cabinet top. Check the cabinet dimensions and available surface area before pairing items. Explore the range above to compare sizes, finishes and storage layouts.
