A4 Suspension File Problems With Filing Cabinet!

Penny-Pincher!!

Hiya

Ive been given a 4 drawer huge BN filing cabinet. I bought 100 A4 suspension files off Ebay as Im trying to sort all paperwork but have gone to use and they are too small width wise

It looks like you can put something in there to put what size files you want in as there are grooves, but where do I get them from? Some sort of pole????

Any help would be greatly appreciated:D

Thanks

I'd get rid of (or flog) the A4 hangers and get some foolscap ones which will fit the filing cabinet. I suspect that although the cabinet has space to take a narrower hanging run, you'll only be able to get them from the original manufacturer, if they still make them. I'd also guess that 4 sets of narrow hanging rails will be more expensive than a pack of foolscap suspension files. You can get a seperate rack that will fit in the drawer, but in our office stationery catalogue these are £23 each!

We had an A4 cabinet once and it was a pain as most standard folders are bigger than A4, and you also had to make sure everything lined up perfectly to fit in - no sloppy hole punching etc. Some documents come in wallets - e.g. insurance policies which are bigger than A4, and you'd have trouble fitting these down between the narrower runners.

Do they fit at a 90 degree angle to how you are trying to put them in at the moment?

Or did the filing cabinet come with some small metal bars?

The foolscap size is a bit bigger than the A4 size - they will look the same it's just the size that's different.

Can I ask where you bought them from coz they sound really expensive.
