An Introduction to Steel Storage (Information Page)

Picture of some filing cabinets

There has been a revolution in office furniture and steel storage has been a key part of the big change in how the office looks and operates.

Gone are the days of poorly working, old filing cabinets and dented and twisted stationery cupboards!

The modern office demands elegant, strong and efficient steel storage solutions to accommodate stationery, general supplies and of course the paper and media files that are essential to the smooth running of any business.

All the Bisley and Trexus contract steel storage units we feature are the best available. Amongst the features are fully welded carcases that are far superior to the cheaper options that are riveted and less robust.

These units also carry valuable and extensive manufacturer's guarantees and the reassurance that they are made by one of the world's leading specialist manufacturers of steel storage products.

The steel storage portfolio covers conventional filing cabinets, cupboards, tambour cupboards, multidrawers, lockers, pedestals and security products.

  • No matter how careful you are, sometimes keys get lost. By using our link with the specialist key supplier Lowe and Fletcher (0845 3031034) you can quickly source replacement keys to access your Bisley and Trexus storage units.To order replacements you will need to quote product type, key series number (available from Bisley sales office on 01483 485600), purchase date and key/lock number.

It’s all part of the quality customer care you get when you deal with the market leaders!

Some filing cabinets


Jargon Buster... some terms explained

  • Anti-tilt: A device that stops more than one drawer or pull-out frame in a storage unit being opened at a time. It avoids the danger of a unit becoming overbalanced and falling forwards onto a user.
  • EPC frame: Epoxy powder-coated paint finish - very tough.
  • Multidrawer: Versatile steel drawer units with many drawers for a variety of storage needs.
  • Tambours: Cupboards with shutter style doors taking up less space and providing a more effective method of storage than conventional filing cabinets.
  • Fittings: These are extras that you can use to cleverly personalise how your steel cupboards work. They include pull-out shelves, pigeonhole units and lateral filing rails.
  • Insert trays: Small plastic trays that fit into multidrawer units and split the drawer into many smaller sections for the storage of smaller items.
  • Compressor plate: An optional steel plate that will fit into filing cabinets and keeps a partly filled filing cabinet tidy as it keeps files pressed together.
