Product Information
Full details
The Leitz A3 Lever Arch File is designed for administrative professionals, architects, and designers who need a robust storage solution for oversized documents. Its primary benefit is the patented 180° mechanism, which significantly streamlines high-volume filing tasks by allowing users to access both sides of the file. While it offers excellent capacity and structural integrity, users should note that the large A3 landscape format requires substantial shelf space compared to standard A4 folders.

FAQs
What is the maximum sheet capacity?
The file is designed to hold up to 500 sheets of standard A3 paper.
Does this file come with a warranty?
Yes, the internal lever arch mechanism is covered by a 5-year guarantee.
Can this be used for portrait A3 documents?
While it is designed for landscape A3, portrait documents will fit, but they will overhang the edges, which is not recommended for protection.
What is the material used for the cover?
The folder is constructed from durable, high-quality recycled board.
How wide is the spine?
The spine width is 77mm.
Is it possible to add documents from both sides?
Yes, the patented 180° mechanism allows the rings to open fully, letting you file documents from either side.
Troubleshooting
The lever mechanism feels stiff or sticks.
Ensure that the file is not over-capacity; remove a few sheets to see if the mechanism clears smoothly.
Paper edges are catching on the ring closure.
Check that the two halves of the ring are perfectly aligned; if they are slightly misaligned, gently guide them together to snap the locking tab in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Leitz A3 file, simply lift the lever arch handle to release the ring mechanism. Ensure your A3 documents are punched with a standard 80mm hole-punch distance for optimal alignment. For long-term maintenance, store the file in a dry, climate-controlled environment to preserve the integrity of the recycled board. Avoid overloading beyond the 500-sheet limit to ensure the locking mechanism remains functional and the spine holds its shape. The metal mechanism is backed by a 5-year guarantee, so keep your proof of purchase in a safe place should you encounter any mechanical issues.
