Steel filing cabinets are primarily made from hot-rolled coils, rolled at room temperature below the recrystallization temperature. Cold-rolled steel offers a smooth surface and excellent finish. Through shearing, bending, welding, and painting, steel filing cabinets are manufactured. Generally speaking, the thicker the steel, the greater the cabinet's load-bearing capacity and the less likely it will deform when storing documents. So, what are some common steel filing cabinet malfunctions and how to troubleshoot them? Let's take a look at some common malfunctions and troubleshooting tips from Henan Huadu Times Furniture.
