About Storage and Filing Cabinets products

Storage choices for offices in Australia range from filing cabinets to shelving units, depending on what needs to be kept enclosed or within sight. A modern filing cabinet such as the M Collection - Filing Cabinet also needs clear space in front so an open drawer does not obstruct circulation.

Workplaces need office storage solutions such as high quality storage cabinets to function efficiently. They help to keep an office organised while providing easy and accessible storage of documents, papers and all the other necessities. ArchiPro offers a great range of storage and filing cabinets in Australia, all sourced from trusted suppliers.

Vertical files

These types of cabinets take up less wall space and have narrow drawers with a good depth that allows efficient storage of personal files. A very common type of filing cabinet in Australia.

Lateral files

Lateral file drawers are low enough to be placed under workstations while also being wide and shallow enough to store high volumes of files.

Tambour units

These have doors that slide or fold back inside the storage unit. They work best in compact spaces where it is not easy to open large doors.

Mobile files

As the name suggests, mobile files are those cabinets that have wheels. These are generally vertical file options with a maximum of two drawers, meaning they fit under workstations.

Lockers and safes

Lockers and safes provide an excellent way for staff to store their items safely. They also allow for documents to be secured.
