Professional filing cabinet assembly in Newton Abbot and Devon. We assemble metal and wooden filing cabinets from all major suppliers. Drawers aligned, runners fitted correctly, locks working smoothly.
Filing cabinets look simple but poor assembly is obvious - drawers that bind, runners that aren't level, and locks that don't engage properly. We've assembled dozens of filing cabinets and know the common pitfalls with different brands.
Whether it's a basic 2-drawer metal cabinet or a large wooden lateral filing system, we make sure drawer runners are level, the cabinet sits square and stable, and all locks and handles work correctly. It's about attention to detail.

Our Newton Abbot Service Coverage
We cover Newton Abbot and a 30-mile radius from Exeter, meaning you get local service with the backing of an established business. Whether you're in the centre of Newton Abbot or in the surrounding villages, we're here to help.
Good to Know
Have the cabinet delivery in or near the room where it'll be positioned - metal cabinets are heavy when assembled. Measure doorways if you're assembling in one room and moving to another. If parts are missing, we'll identify them and can return to complete assembly once you have replacements. Some high-end filing cabinets have specialized runners or mechanisms - send us the model beforehand if possible. Anti-tip brackets should be fitted if supplied (especially important with tall cabinets). We can position cabinets but not anchor them to walls (that's separate fixing work).
Frequently Asked Questions about Filing cabinet assembly in Newton Abbot
How much does filing cabinet assembly cost?
Filing cabinet assembly costs £60 for simple 2-drawer units (under 1 hour) or £85 for larger 3-4 drawer cabinets taking up to 1.5 hours. Very large or complex office furniture may require longer and we'll quote accordingly.
Do you assemble metal and wooden filing cabinets?
Yes, we assemble both metal filing cabinets and wooden office storage units. Metal cabinets typically have fewer components but need careful alignment. Wooden units take longer but are straightforward flat-pack assembly.
Can you install locks and handles?
Absolutely. We fit all locks, handles, label holders, and drawer runners as part of the assembly. We make sure drawers open smoothly and locks engage properly.
Do I need to provide tools?
No, we bring all tools needed for filing cabinet assembly. However, if you have the assembly instructions or they're downloadable, having them ready helps (though we're experienced with most brands).
