Approximately how many hanging files would this hold, if each hanging folder were 1/4" thick? Thank you!

It would depend on how much you have in each folder. I would say it holds about 25 empty folders. I bought it to store real estate lock boxes in, that is why I am not 100% sure.

The actual width of the compartment that hold the files is approx 4 3/4". If your files are 1/4" thick I think you should get 15 - 18 file folders. It would be a little bit less than that if you use a hanging folder for each file as the metal ends of the hanging files would take up some additional room instead of just a manila file folder. I would think you should be able to get perhaps 10-12 hanging folders in the file compartment.

we have 5 hanging files in each box but they are very full. I highly recommend this file box.

Overall width is about 12 & 3/8", but the "rails" are closer to 12" apart meaning it will hold standard hanging file folders (standard as in 8.5 x 11"). The length is variable, but at most is 27.5" - from there you can break off what you need in 1/2" increments, although I opted to just use a hacksaw to cut them to my desired lengths.

Actually you can hang 2 rows letter file folders in each drawer. The HUGE amount file storage space what I really liked about this file cabinet!!

Don't know exactly but I have at least 40 in mine and there is still room. The more you put in, the straighter they stand. With my 40 they are mostly leaning and not at all straight. I purchased 2 but have only used one since most of my folderd fit in that one. Hth.

It will certainly hang them! You just have to turn legal folders perpendicular. For example, you can hang letter folders so they open up along the top lengthwise, and the moving divider gives you another rail to hang longer folders so they are facing the front.

I guess it all depends on the weight of the contents you are to put in it. Check the maximum weight recommendations on the package of hooks, estimate the weight of the folders you want to put in the wall file and add about half a pound for the weight of the wall file

I think it would be fine to stack them, assuming they aren't packed with anything too heavy. The folders/frame don't hang over the edge of the file box, so they shouldn't be affected.

Yes it supports hanging files. I was unsure when I ordered, but I ordered it and boy...do I have a lot of hanging files LOL.

Hello sir, my hanging rails are 12" and the file folders fit perfectly. I have an old file cabinet.

Definitely an inch thick, but I frequently put in multiple folders. It's very sturdy, so weight shouldn't be an issue if you even wanted to put in a book.

I'm not exactly sure what your question is....but if I do understand it, the files hang just like any other file cabinet...the wide side is perpendicular to the floor. Hope that answers your question

Inside dimensions are 12 1/2 inches for your hanging file folders and 5 inches deep. Suits my purposes.

Without measuring it, I don't think so. It appears wider than a folder or hanging file. I love mine but use it for typical trunk stuff. Sorry!

Well I use the legal size hangers on top (which I use daily) and regular size folders on the bottom (rarely used). It is troublesome, but if you are only going to use regular size it might be easier. It is pretty sturdy. I have so many files so it is a tight fit, which makes it hard at times. I use it in my home office, I like that I can take it from room to room. I just wish it was longer so that it could accommodate my files more easily. I hope this helps.

I use 12 inch wide by 10 inch deep hanging file folders which fit perfectly.

No, the bins are fabric so I don't think they would be strong enough for hanging file folders.

I had mine fall off the wall but I overloaded it big time. I wanted to see how many files it could hold. I maxed each folder out with two to three file folders and some were extremely heavy. I took out a few, screwed it in the wall and it's fine. Pretty durable but you have to watch the weight. Some file holders fall off the holder. I would say 6 out of 10. Okay for the price.
