Over at DigitalBuyer.com, we have a wide selection of fireproof file cabinets. Fireproof cabinets can be found in many offices and are considered a necessity by most.

With a number of different types of fireproof filing cabinets available, how do you pick the right one for your home or business? Here's a quick overview of each type to help you make the right choice:

Vertical Fireproof File Cabinets
Vertical cabinets are the most popular type and allow for front-to-back filing. Various models can hold either letter- or legal-sized files with a few models capable of accommodating both with legal-sized documents being filed side-to-side.

Vertical cabinets are also the most space-saving because they require less room in the office.

Lateral Fireproof File Cabinets
Lateral cabinets allow for side-to-side filing and can accommodate both letter- and legal-sized documents. Some consider lateral files to be easier to use and more flexible in holding various sized documents in the same drawer. They are also popular for use on top of counters and desks making the contents easier to reach.

Side-Tab/End Tab Fireproof File Cabinets
Side tab cabinets, also known as end tabs, feature a flip-top receding swing door and is meant to hold side-tab and end-tab folders as well as larger items such as binder, ledgers and books. These type of cabinets are especially preferred by the healthcare industry and others who use side-tab folders instead of more common top tab and hanging folders.
