Anti-tip lock — why it matters
The cabinet allows only one drawer to be pulled out at a time. This is not an inconvenience but a safeguard: a drawer full of documents weighs several tens of kilograms, and two drawers extended at once shift the centre of gravity beyond the footprint of the base.
In tall cabinets used by many people, this mechanism decides whether the cabinet stays upright or tips over onto the user. When buying for an office open to customers or for an educational facility, it is the deciding argument.
C-6 format and dividers in the drawer
The drawer is divided by dividers into five rows of C-6 format cards (114 × 162 mm). The dividers hold the cards upright, so the collection does not slump when the drawer is pulled out and keeps its alphabetical or numerical order.
Who this cabinet is for

Frequently asked questions about the IND/5 cabinet
What document format does the IND/5 cabinet hold?
The maximum format is C-6. The drawer is divided by dividers into five rows of cards.
How much does a full drawer weigh, and will the runners cope?
The runners of this cabinet are rated for loads of up to 80 kg per drawer. Paper weighs around 80 kg per cubic metre, so the limit applies to a completely full drawer and, with a margin, covers typical office use.
Why can't I pull out two drawers at once?
This is a deliberate anti-tip lock. Two extended drawers shift the centre of gravity beyond the base of the cabinet and risk toppling it. The mechanism releases automatically once the previous drawer is pushed back in.
