UL 1-Hour Class 350 fire protection in a designer lateral file
Built for offices that must keep paper and media safe, the FireKing Classic High Security Lateral (2-3822-C Premium Designer) is a two-drawer, 38-inch-wide lateral cabinet carrying a UL 1-Hour Class 350 fire rating tested to 1700°F, plus a UL 30-foot impact label and an ETL half-hour digital-media rating. It is made in the USA and secured with a UL-listed Medeco high-security key lock.
The cabinet measures 27.75 inches high, 37.5 inches wide, and 22.13 inches deep, and weighs 497 pounds. Each of its two drawers offers an interior 31.94 inches wide, 15.13 inches deep, and 10.75 inches high, accepting letter, legal, or A4 hanging folders side to side without extra frames.
Engineering & Security
- UL-listed Medeco key lock: The high-security key lock resists picking and drilling, controlling access to both drawers under a single UL-listed locking system.
- Drawer interlock mechanism: Only one drawer opens at a time, preventing the heavy 497-pound cabinet from tipping forward during use.
- 14-gauge welded steel lattice: A galvanized welded steel wire frame reinforces the insulation core, holding the fire barrier in place under heat and impact.
- Field-replaceable steel panels: Exterior panels can be swapped on site, so surface damage does not force replacement of the whole cabinet.
- Made in the USA: Manufactured domestically by FireKing, supporting consistent quality control and parts availability over the cabinet's service life.
Fire Protection & Interior
- UL 1-Hour Class 350 rating: Tested to keep interior temperatures below 350°F for one hour in a 1700°F fire, protecting paper documents from charring.
- UL 30-foot impact label: The cabinet survived a 30-foot drop test, modeling a collapse through a burning floor without breaching the contents.
- ETL half-hour digital-media rating: A separate ETL listing protects CDs, DVDs, and drives, which fail at far lower temperatures than paper.
- 100% gypsum insulation: The gypsum fill releases moisture under heat to hold the interior cool, and the design also resists water from sprinklers and hoses.
- Insulated drawer heads: Each drawer face carries fire-resistant insulation, so contents stay protected even with surface-mounted pulls.
Drawer Layout & File Capacity
- Two lateral drawers: The 38-inch width lets each drawer hold letter, legal, or A4 folders side to side, maximizing filing per square foot.
- High-side drawer bodies: Tall drawer sides accept hanging folders directly, eliminating the need for separate frames or rails.
- Maintenance-free suspensions: Smooth-gliding drawer slides require no lubrication or adjustment across years of daily office use.
Ideal Buyer & Use Cases
This cabinet suits law firms, medical offices, and businesses that need both fire protection and high-security access for active paper records and digital media. At 27.75 inches high, 37.5 inches wide, 22.13 inches deep, and 497 pounds, it sits at standard desk height while delivering a UL 1-Hour Class 350 fire rating.
If a smaller footprint fits better, the 31-inch-wide 2-3122-CMA covers the same two-drawer format. For more capacity, step up to the three-drawer 3-3822-CMA or the four-drawer 4-3822-CMA in the same 38-inch width.
