5-Drawer File Cabinets

Engineering firms need to match document organization schemes for every 5-drawer file, Safco wall rack and tubular roll in their offices. These storage tools have to be connected by a common standard for labeling to help the next generation of employees. Each 5-drawer storage cabinet can be organized based on dates, client names and project priority.

Keeping 5-Drawer Files Organized

Each file drawer in a steel cabinet should be demarcated by date range on the exterior label. These cabinets should be lined up in chronological order with the final drawers dedicated to current projects. This method of organizing 5-drawer files allows an engineering firm to separate drawers for past and ongoing projects.

Client files and blueprints can be separated within these drawers in alphabetical order. The client’s last name or business name should be used to keep each year’s projects running from A to Z. This organizational method allows clients to pull out files quickly for meetings and presentations.

The inclusion of dates and client names on a file folder does not indicate the priority level for these projects. The typical firm has to juggle short-term projects for retail buildings with longer projects involving roadways, neighborhood revitalization and stadiums. The simplest way to indicate priority level for future users is employing a stop-light system where green is low priority and red is urgent.
