I’m looking at a used filing cabinet from an office liquidation sale, and I’m not sure what material it’s made from. Are file cabinet made of aluminum, or are they usually steel?
Yes, some file cabinets are made of aluminum, but most file cabinets on the market are still made of steel.
Aluminum file cabinets are lighter and more corrosion-resistant, making them suitable for humid environments or spaces where cabinets need to be moved frequently.
Steel file cabinets, however, are more widely used because they offer greater strength, higher load capacity, and lower cost.
You can verify the material by checking the product specifications, using a magnet test, or reviewing the manufacturer's documentation.
