Door filing cabinets are the backbone of office document storage. This article compares 2-door, 3-door and 4-door filing cabinets — standard sizes, capacity, and estimated office furniture factory prices — so your cabinet procurement is the right size and budget. Size references come from the BG Office Furniture factory catalogue in Foshan, China, exported to Indonesia at 0% ACFTA duty.
Why Choose a Door Filing Cabinet?
Unlike drawer cabinets focused on active files, door filing cabinets offer flexible space: interior shelves can be adjusted for A4 folders, F4 folders, hanging files, reference books, and office supplies. Closed doors protect contents from dust and humidity — important in Indonesia's tropical climate — and security locks keep sensitive documents safe.
For centralized archive rooms, combining cabinets of different widths is more efficient than one oversized unit: a 2-door cabinet (800 mm) for small divisions, a 3-door (1200 mm) for mid-size teams, and a 4-door (1600 mm) for heavy archive needs.
Standard Door Cabinet Sizes
Furniture factories generally produce three standard widths with a uniform 2000 mm height and 400 mm depth — enough for standard Indonesian A4 and F4 folders:
- 2-door — 800×400×2000 mm: two doors, 3-4 interior shelves; fits small rooms and personal archives.
- 3-door — 1200×400×2000 mm: three doors, 1.5x the capacity of a 2-door unit; the most balanced team choice.
- 4-door — 1600×400×2000 mm: four doors, 2x a 2-door unit; for large division archives.
As real examples, the BG-A51 (2-door, 800 mm), BG-A52 (3-door, 1200 mm), and BG-A55 (4-door, 1600 mm) from BG all come in five color options (Black Oak, Black, Walnut, Natural Oak, White) and can be custom-sized for projects (OEM/ODM).
How Many A4/F4 Folders Fit?
At 400 mm depth, one shelf of an 800 mm cabinet holds roughly 40-50 standing A4 box files or 60-70 F4 suspension folders. A 1200 mm cabinet holds 1.5x that, and a 1600 mm cabinet about 2x an 800 mm unit. If your office relies on physical archives, calculate each division's needs and add a 20% buffer for yearly document growth.
Estimated Cabinet Factory Prices
Filing cabinet prices from Chinese factories depend heavily on width, finish, and quantity. As a rough 2026 guide: a 2-door 800 mm cabinet starts around USD 60-90 FOB, a 3-door 1200 mm around USD 90-130, and a 4-door 1600 mm around USD 120-170 — before freight and duty. Thanks to ACFTA, import duty on furniture from China to Indonesia is 0% when a Form E is attached, so sourcing directly from a filing cabinet factory is often cheaper than buying locally made equivalents.
