Do the hanging folders stay in place or do they occasionally fall off the track?

The folder rails are not "locked" in place, however for the money, this is truly a perfect "active" file holder. The hanging files have to be "jarred" in some way to come off the rails. I discovered these on a fluke and have bought them for both companies, and I really love them. I keep my active vendors, employees, and Payroll...etc in these. At the end of the work day, they roll right under our printer workstation tables.

We have not had that problem. We use this file for important stuff. When we don't need to take action then they go to another file for long term storage. Phil

No they don't. The folders themselves are fastened on the bottom, so the folders don't actually open up, which I found to be a disappointment. And if you tear the folder open, which you can, you'll find that the folder is actually quite flimsy, unfortunately.

The files hang from side to side or check directions for front to back as well.

The drawer is actually designed to hold hanging file folders. It is a very convenient option!

Yes you can hang folders in the box, but the lid will have to be modified to put it on!

Yes, there is a ridge molded in on each side where the ends of the hanging file folders ride.

I also have wide folders. I use one drawer of the cabinet to hang my files so the tabs can be viewed from the side. The folders are not parallel with the front drawer but are then perpendicular it works wel. Good luck

I don't know. I can't get my iPhone to stay in the folder. My husband's phone stays in the holder though, however, he has an Otto Box case, I think the rubber from the case helps keep the phone in place.

There is plenty of space for hanging file folders. We organized our papers this weekend and probably have at least 30 or 40 hanging files, and some of our files are packed full of papers. The safe is larger than it looks.

No, they are securely placed and the unit very well made. The spacing of the dividers and their height is well designed to keep most working folders upright, with a minimum of "droop".

It will certainly hang them! You just have to turn legal folders perpendicular. For example, you can hang letter folders so they open up along the top lengthwise, and the moving divider gives you another rail to hang longer folders so they are facing the front.

I have one of these file boxes and like it. Hanging folders do fit in this file box.

They are secured pretty well. There is a little movement to them but not enough that they shouldn't hold in place if upright.

Nope, it's never happened. As long as you have reasonable quality hanging folders that don't fall apart you'll be all set.

The stick out, but only slightly on the side, not at the top or bottom. I always use sheet protectors and these folders work fine for me. The best part is that you can fit a lot of sheet protectors inside without compromising the folder.

Actually, the top mount is more than enough to hold a heavier weight. The failure point is actually how the folders hang as they start to bend and can eventually fall off if you add a large amount of items into them. I am not sure if this is due to weight or the bulging of the folders that causes the problem, though I suspect the bulging is the real issue. This has only happened to me once in practice and was more to the fact that I had avoided my inbox for months...

I've had sturdier folders, but they work well for storage. Mostly I have them in a rack on my desk and don't have to take them in and out to access the materials inside. As a teacher, I go through a lot if folders, but I expect these to last at least for the two years I plan to decorate my classroom in black polka dots.
