Guys,

I've been looking for detailed plans for two and four drawer
file cabinets. I am not particular as to whether they're free
or charged, I'm simply not having much luck so far finding
plans.

TIA,

Jeff



I don't have any plans but I'll give you my notes on sizes from having
built them in the past:

FILE DRAWER SIZES

16" minimum interior width for legal size.
10" high drawer box with 1/2" bottom and 1/2" reveal below
This allows 1/4" below drawer box and 1/4" above the tab for total
height of the opening of 11 3/4"

It is easy to adjust this for letter size.

Something to note is what sort of hardware you will use if you are
going to use hanging files.

There are several types. The simplest overlays a 1/2" drawer side but
I always used thicker stock, so I used the type that fit into a groove
run into the tops of the sides.

This comes in at least two flavors. I've used the plastic but prefer
the straight metal type for more than occasional use.

Make sure you leave enough room for tabs above the file folders
