Cabinet says letter or legal. If using letter-size, do files face forward, or the side? Thanks.

I bought for someone else, but I believe the letter size files would face forward.

If using letter sized they will face the side. Wish I had asked that question... Once I put the thing together I was ready to be done so I didn't investigate if I can rearrange the hang bars sideways... I imagine I'll end up buying legal sized hanging folders

Forward with letter, sideways with legal. Overall the quality of this piece is low and the assembly is difficult. The color was also wrong, not brown, not black, but an odd mix. I would not recommend this cabinet and will go to a brick and mortar store next time.

There is a built-in groove to hang standard letter size folders. For legal size folders, there was no frame for that.

Across the front it supports letter hanging folders. From front to back it supports legal hanging folders. The box is nice and a good file cabinet. in my humble opinion the locks are worthless.

Hi Karyn!I believe I did answer this question earlier, although I'm not sure if it was this particular query. Yes, file sizes of letter/A4/legal will fit into this Closet Maid drawer if you lay them flat or horizontally. Vertically/hanging - No.

No, they go side to side. I don't know why. There is room to go front to back. I bought some dowels and taped them to the sides so I could hang mine in the front to back direction. It is actually a little longer and lets me get a few more files in each drawer but it doesn't come that way. Other than that, I like the cabinet.

Yes, it fits legal files front-to-back in the drawers, and it fits letter size files side-to-side in each drawer. You can have one drawer letter and the other drawer legal, if you want. Clever design.

It's pretty strait forward. Use the letters and but the screws in the holes. Lol

Sorry but I always store them on the side in a hanging folder. It's easier to pull out papers without having to take out the whole folder which you would have to do if it was standing vertically. Hope this helps.

use a file and file the side until it fit,it will be tight but it will work.

Though the file cabinet is designed for four letter file rows (front to back - two on top, two on bottom), you can use one entire drawer for legal files since the hangers are adjustable.

I think so, those dimensions aren't very different than a regular file. All four sides are size adjustable.

Hi. It's difficult to understand how you define "lateral" files. They are of standard page length and typically a file cabinet has the flexibility of allowing a person to insert these hanging file folders parallel to the front drawer of a standard width file cabinet. They will, of course, work being inserted perpendicular to the front file drawer but only if the file cabinet has a hanging rod or bar that spans the width of the cabinet itself. The file drawer in my desk allows me to insert the files in either direction, depending on whether I like the folders to run parallel to the drawer's length or perpendicular to its length. In summary--Yes (but only if your drawers allow the configuration). Hi. It's difficult to understand how you define "lateral" files.

Yes, this cabinet will hold both legal and standard size files. Each drawer is legal size, with a metal bar that can be set to either standard or legal size for each drawer.

No. Inside width is approximately 10". Too small for a letter sized folder.

No. The files can only hang side to side. Additionally the drawers are deep allowing you to configure it for letter or legal files.

Each drawer has a heavy plastic liner which will hold both letter and legal size folders. However, you will get more letter size folders in each drawer than legal size file folders. It is perfect for what my school district needed, as I needed drawers for both size files. For someone who was looking to only use legal size folders, you would want the get the larger size file cabinet to maximize your drawer space.

Yes. Yes they will. Legal size mamilla folders will not but letter size will.
