How
to Configure Kwik-Files's File Harbor™ Cabinets
Configuration
Guide
Please follow these rules to make sure the components for your
new File Harbor Cabinet will fit properly. (If you are ordering
a pre-configured cabinet, these steps will not be necessary).
Cabinet
Interior Height
Find the interior height of the cabinet you are ordering.

Components and Media
Height Required Next, find the height required for each of the
components and media you plan to file or store in your File Harbor
Cabinet. See the Components and Media table below. For Example,
the MS48 shelf, with color-coded end-tab files, requires a height
of 11" (1" for the shelf, 9 _" for the file folders, and _" clearance
under the shelf above).
Cabinet
Capacity
Use (or photocopy) the configuration worksheet below to add up
the height required for each of the component and media you need
for your cabinet. Then make sure the total component and media
height does not exceed the cabinet's interior height. Use (or
photocopy) the drawing on the other side to sketch the placement
of components.
Built-in Bottom Shelf
All cabinets come with a built-in bottom shelf.
Additional
Top Space
In some cases, cabinet interior height listed under #1 may be
expanded by using additional space in the very top of the cabinet:
1" located above the door for these components only: a shelf to
hang wire dividers from, a rail for suspended pockets, or a hanger
bar for tape seals, printouts, etc.
Roll-out Configuration and Interlock
- All
roll-outs components now come standard with Interlock (a different
cabinet model is no longer required when rollouts will be
specified).
-
Roll-outs components must be used adjacent to, or continuous
with, watch other in the cabinet for the Interlock to function,
roll-out components must not be positioned higher than 50"
from the inside bottom of the cabinet to maintain safe stability.
- Standard
configurations for roll-outs are as follows: Roll-out frames:
10" apart (limited to 5 roll-out frames in 83"/62" H cabinets)
Roll-out drawers: 5" apart (limited to 10 roll-out drawers
in 83"/62" H cabinets) Single roll-out: if there is only one
roll-out in a cabinet, it can be located anywhere in the cabinet
as long as it is no higher than 50" above the inside bottom
of cabinet.
-
Custom Interlock spacing is available for customers who want
to file/store media which requires different from standard
(5" or 10") spacing. Call Customers Service for more information.
Configuration:
Final Step
It is normal to have a little space left over when configuring
a cabinet. If this is the case, you can install components a little
farther apart than required (except multiple roll-outs, which
have fixed positions), or sometimes add a shelf and use the extra
space for storage.
Installation
Each File Harbor component comes with assembly instructions.
All components are installed in slots located in the inside end
panels (spaced exactly 1" vertically apart).
