Flexible Series
Montisa has Revolutionized Document Storage in the Workplace Flexibility Modular lateral files can be changed quickly and easily. Tops, modules, and bases can be assembled in endless combinations, and reconfigured with ease to meet specific storage needs and varying design layouts. Modularity also impacts future cost savings...it s easy to replace damaged drawer fronts, change or add locks and add or subtract modules as needed. Cost Efficiency Purchase only the amount of file openings required for current storage needs. Modules are easily added inthe future for increased capacity. Modules also serve as space dividers, to support work surfaces and create credenzas. 2
Floor Space Savings Because modules stack so easily, the initial footprint doesn t change extra capacity is added without increasing the use of premium office space. Also, drawers can be reconfigured to open in the opposite direction for shared storage one file can serve multiple users. 18% more filing inches in each drawer provides ability to use less files and less floor space.our low profile option provides even greater savings. Versatile Storage From letter size to A4 files, binders, CDs, floppies & cards. Because stored information changes size, shape, or quantity, drawer and shelf sections can be rearranged to accommodate requirements; all at minimal cost. Construction Files start with a strong U frame, supported by a rigid, all-welded steel base, and interconnected for superior strength. Files can be moved fully loaded without damage. Aesthetic Compatibility A wide range of paint colors complement any office environment. Additionally, Montisa will custom match any special paint finish. 3
See how our Features Stack up Against the Competition Designers prefer the versatility of the Module Series files because of the efficient, yet economical benefits provided. A fourhigh file can grow to a five-high, simply by adding another module. A four-high system can become 2 two-high laterals by adding one more top and base. All of these changes are easily accomplished with a screw driver and wrench. Various module heights, including split drawers, address all filing and storage needs. Innovative design provides an economical solution to the demands of an ever changing workplace. Montisa s new Low Profile System provides a fully usable top filing drawer in a five high lateral at only 56 1 2 " high. Provides 25% more filing capacity than conventional five high laterals. Suspension System Full extension, steel ballbearing drawer slides provide one of the most durable and quiet drawer mechanisms in the industry. A unique steel rod safety interlock system is combined with the heavyduty suspension, making it impossible to open more than one drawer per side at a time. Reversible Modules are reversible for shared storage and easy reconfiguration. Each module may be locked separately from the other drawers extra locks are available for every opening. An optional Security Panel fits between the drawers to prevent unauthorized file access. 4
The Economics become more Apparent when Conventional Files are Compared to Montisa Form Follows Function: Montisa Module Series lateral files are 20 inches deep two inches deeper than a conventional lateral file. Front-to-back filing is standard for easier file access and economical cost of filing per inch. When using 30 inch and 42 inch wide files capacity greatly increases, providing 18% more filing inches. Best of all, the extra capacity of Montisa s Module Series lateral costs no more than the conventional 18 inch deep lateral file, and uses approximately the same floor space. More Filing Inches = Fewer Files = Less Floor Space Used = Money Saved. Files which would typically require five 42 inch four-drawer laterals, can now be stored in four 42 inch four-drawer Module Series laterals, thus eliminating the cost of additional files and saving valuable floor space. ADA Friendly Our lock is typically located at 43 inches in height: 5 inches below the maximum height recommended by the Americans with Disabilities Act. Regardless of how high modules are stacked, the lock may be placed within reach of the user. A removable lock core is standard for ease of change. Tailored for your needs.
