Choosing a cabinet for your workplace
Think about what needs to be stored before choosing a door style. For binders and office records, compare the filing cabinet and hinged-door models by their stated binder-height configuration, shelves and access. The M3 range includes filing storage with double-sided access, as well as hinged-door cabinets with different shelf arrangements. Some cabinets are described as having no hanging file frames, so check this detail if your filing system depends on them.
For personal belongings or separated storage, consider the locker configurations. The collection includes one-, two- and three-section designs with varying numbers of doors per compartment. Match the layout to how many people or storage zones the cabinet needs to serve. Do not assume every locker has the same interior: listed examples include models with shelves and a model without shelves.
Choose a door style and access arrangement
Hinged doors provide a familiar cupboard-style opening. Sliding doors move across the cabinet front, while tambour models use rolling doors; these are described with plastic doors and melamine-faced board construction. Where available, a double-sided-access design can suit a location where people may need to reach the cabinet from either side. Consider the space around the cabinet and how its doors will be used when comparing options, then verify the access description on the individual listing.
Finishes and colors vary across the collection. The listed colors include beige, black, green, grey, blue, red, silver, white and yellow, but availability may differ by model. Material details also vary: examples include melamine or melamine-faced board, and some tambour cabinets have steel shelves. Use the product information and the collection’s colors-and-materials document to confirm the finish and components for your chosen cabinet. If certification or a specific material is important to your purchasing process, check the relevant model information rather than assuming it applies to every M3 cabinet.
What to check before selecting a model
- Contents: Confirm whether the cabinet is intended for files, general supplies or divided personal storage, and check the stated shelves or filing features.
- Access: Compare hinged, sliding and rolling doors, plus whether the model offers double-sided access.
- Security: Look for a cylinder lock in the individual listing if a lock is required; it is not stated for every model.
- Fit and finish: Review the model’s dimensions and available colors before deciding where it will go.
