A. Interchangeable Removable Core Lock

All lateral file cabinet models have factory-installed locks.  HON "One Key" locks are cylinder locks with removable cores,  which may be changed to allow offices to use a single key for multiple file cabinets.  Cores may also be changed as needed to address security concerns.  Keyed-alike cores must be ordered separately.


B. Heavy Gauge Reinforced Steel Construction

All file cabinets have reinforced case construction for superior strength. 

Meet or Exceed Manufacturing Testing Standards:
All HON file cabinets meet or exceed ANSI/BIFMA & ISTA testing standards.  ANSI/BIFMA is the American National Standards institute / Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association. 

The types of tests employed on vertical file cabinets fall into the following general categories:

a) static load applications;
b) dynamic load applications;
c) endurance or durability cycling tests.

 

ISTA is the International Safe Transit Association, which sets standards and tests for packaging durability during transportation to improve the likelihood that products arrive in good condition.

 

Environmental Sustainability HON file cabinets are manufactured to meet BIFMA Environmental Sustainability Guidelines in file cabinet construction.  For more information on office furniture manufacturing sustainability, go to http://www.bifma.com/documents/SusGdlines.pdf.

F. Adjustable Leveling Guides
