6. Roll-out Configuration and Interlock.
*All roll-out components come standard with Interlock
*Roll-out components must be used adjacent to, or continuous
with each other in the cabinet for the Interlock to function.
Roll-out components must not be positioned higher than 50" from
the inside bottom of the cabinet to maintain safe stability.
36.00"
42.00"
47.25"
*Standard configurations for roll-outs are as follows:
Roll-out frames:
10" apart (limited to 5 roll-out frames in
83" / 62" H cabinets.
Roll-out drawers:
5" apart (limited to 10 roll-out drawers in
83" / 62" cabinets.
*Single roll-out: When there is only one roll-out in a cabinet, it
can be located anywhere in the cabinet as long as it is no higher
than 50" above the inside bottom of cabinet.
*Custom Interlock spacing is available for customers who
want to file/store media which differs from standard 5" or 10"
spacing. Call Customer Service for more information.
7. Configuration: Final Step. It is normal to have a little space
left over when configuring a cabinet. If this is the case, you may
install components a little farther apart then required (except
multiple roll-outs, which have fixed positions), or sometimes add
a shelf and use the extra space for storage.

File Harbor Cabinet: Shelves and Dividers
To install Adjustable Filing Dividers and Backstop:
1. Remove packaging material from the Dividers. Remove the Backstop which is taped to the
underside of the shelf. NOTE: Check for concealed damage. Report damage to carrier.
2. There are 3 slots in each Divider. These slots govern the placement of the Backstop depending on
the size of the file folders to be used. For example; using the Divider's middle slot will make typical
letter-sized color-coded end tab file folders line up about 1/8" behind the front of the shelf.
(See Fig. B)
3. Place the Backstop along the length of the shelf an inch or two from the rear of the cabinet with the
slots facing up. The small section, or Backstop foot, should face the rear of the cabinet. Hold the
Backstop in place with one hand. (See Fig. B)
4. Take one of the Adjustable Filing Dividers in your other hand, with the slots underneath and toward
the rear. Move the divider so that one of its slots engages the Backstop as you insert the Divider's
feet into the shelf slots. (See Fig. B)
5. Install the other 3 Adjustable Filing Dividers (2 dividers for 36" wide cabinets) the same way.
Although the distance between the Dividers will depend on user preference, in most cases they will be
placed in every third shelf slot.

cabinet, keeping it at least a few inches
above the shelf clips until the back of the
shelf gently touches the cabinet back.
File Harbor Cabinet: Reference Shelf
7. Level the Reference Shelf, be sure to keep it above the shelf clips. Kneel down with your hands
under the shelf so that you can see the bottom of the shelf clearly. Tip the front of the shelf up at
about a 45 degree angle.
8. Move the Reference shelf carefully so that the rear side flange slots begin to slide over the rear
shelf clips. (Fig. D)
9. Ease the front of the Reference Shelf down and push the shelf back till the rear shelf clips are
resting against the ends of the rear side flange slots . As the shelf becomes level, the front
notches in the shelf side flange should engage the front shelf clips.

NOTE: Assembly of the Roll-Out Accessories is performed inside the File
Harbor Cabinet. Illustrations are shown without the cabinet for clarity.
1. Remove packaging material. NOTE: Check for concealed damage. Report any damage to
carrier. Note that slides are located one at each end of the box.
2. For each roll-out ordered, install an Interlock Locking pin to lock two of the slides together.
NO Interlock Locking Pin is required for a cabinet with only one roll-out accessory- proceed with
installation and ignore all Interlock instructions.
3. The locking pin will be installed so that it inserts into the adjoining roll-out. Only the left-hand
slide has the front black plastic connector bar for the Locking Pin.
4. NOTE: If two or more roll-outs will be installed in the cabinet, the Interlock "MUST" be installed
to ensure stability. Multiple roll-outs must be installed adjacent to each other for the Interlock to
function.
5. Decide where the roll-outs will be located in the cabinet. (The Configuration Guide shows the
recommended spacing for different components and media). Roll-out frames, for standard hanging
file folders, are designed to be installed on 10" vertical increments. Roll-out drawers, where
stored material is no more than 4 1/2" high, are designed to be installed on 5" vertical increments.
"DO NOT INSTALL" roll-out components more than 50" above the bottom cabinet shelf.
File Harbor Cabinets: Roll-out Accessories
6. To install the Slide Mounting Brackets (a left and right for each roll-out in the cabinet):
a. Once you have decided where the roll-outs will be installed, find the left-hand slide/mounting
bracket. With the rear two tabs facing the rear of the cabinet and the front two tabs facing
