A stationery cabinet (sometimes referred to as stationery) is a large steel cabinet with shelves inside it, used for storing items, often stationery or books or other office supplies. It can be used for a variety of other storage needs, including engine parts, hardware, or many other things; but the office is the location where they are most commonly found.
Such cabinets are usually about 6 feet tall (182.9 cm), although some models are about 7 feet (210 cm) high, and others about 4 feet (120 cm) tall, sometimes referred to as counter sizes. They are often 3 feet (91 cm) wide, and 1.5 feet (46 cm) deep. The 6-foot height and width and depth are standard sizes for the most common models; even in countries where metric measurements are used to describe dimensions, these dimensions are often the exact number of legs or inches, may deviate back to the originally planned design of the right number of feet or inches. Most of these standard dimensions are the same as lockers, and the designs for the two types of cabinets seem to have the same ancestors; and indeed, stationery cabinets are usually produced by the same company that produces lockers and filing cabinets.
Stationary cabinets are equipped with three, four, or five steel shelves designed to fit the width of the cabinet, mounted into brackets on the internal wall, and this position can be changed little by little, allowing users to adjust the height of the shelf for their particular needs.
There are two front doors that swing out from the center: to close and lock the cabinet, the left door closes first, and then the right door, which blends with the flange on the edge of the left door, thus holding it in a closed position, and the cabinet can be locked by turning the key in the lock on the right door. For added security, this door is usually equipped with three point locking. Unlike lockers, stationery cabinets are not usually sold with a padlock option.
