FAQs
What size documents are these files suitable for?
These files are specifically designed for Foolscap size documents, which are larger than A4.
Can I use these in an A4 filing cabinet?
Generally no, unless your A4 cabinet has adjustable runners or is specifically designed to accommodate Foolscap files. The width is different.
What is the weight capacity of these files?
While no specific weight is stated, their 240gsm reinforced construction with a V-base and steel runners is designed to hold substantial document volumes, such as thick reports.
Are the tabs and inserts reusable?
Yes, the tabs and inserts are designed to be written on and reused. You can replace the inserts with new ones as your filing needs change.
How many files are in a pack?
Each pack contains 25 suspension files.
What are the dimensions of these files?
As they are Foolscap size, they are larger than A4. Typical Foolscap dimensions are approximately 330mm wide x 215mm high (excluding tabs).
Can I write directly on the file?
It is recommended to use the provided tabs and inserts for labeling. Writing directly on the manilla may wear off over time.
Troubleshooting
Files won't glide smoothly in the frame.
Check the steel bar runners for any debris or damage. Ensure the filing frame is clean and level. If the frame is not designed for Foolscap size, it may cause friction.
File base is sagging or tearing under weight.
The file may be overloaded. Distribute documents more evenly or use multiple files for very thick reports. Ensure the V-base is correctly seated in the frame.
Tabs won't stay attached.
Ensure the tab is fully clipped into the designated slot on the file. Use the provided inserts to secure the tab if needed.
File does not fit the drawer/frame.
Verify that your filing system is designed for Foolscap size. These files are not standard A4 size.
