Calibre Lateral Files - Knoll

Lateral File Planning Overview
Calibre Planning and Technical Specifications
Calibre
Calibre files are available in
pre-configured and built-to-spec
models that incorporate a flexible
1.5 planning module to optimize the
best use of space within a case. Most
applications can be satisfied with
pre-configured files, which are
available in the most common
configurations. For special
applications Calibre can be ordered
built-to-spec, which allows
thousands of drawer and door
configurations.
Lateral Files, Pre-configured
Calibre pre-configured files are
available in 10 heights and 3 widths.
All feature the use of a 1.5 vertical
planing module. The 1.5 planing
module makes better use of space by
more efficiently storing and
maintaining files, binders, office
supplies and other articles as
compared to a traditional 3 module.
There are 9 drawer/door modules
heights available to support
front-to-back or side-to-side filing of
letter, legal, A4, JIS, standard
binders and EDP paper sizes.
Lateral Files, Built-to Spec
Calibre, built-to-spec files allow a
wide variety of drawer and shelf
options. Through the Combination of
the 10 case heights and the 9 drawer
modules, thousands of custom case
configurations are possible to meet
any special application.
Hybrids Pre-configured
Hybrid storage units combine hinged
doors to store binders and supplies
with 12 files drawers to support
filing. Hybrids are available in
heights of 55.5,63 and 64.5 in
widths of 36 and 42.
Cabinets Pre-configured
A variety of pre-configured storage
cabinets with adjustable shelves are
available with or without doors in 6
heights and 2 widths. In addition, 3
heights (55.5,63 and 64.5) and
models (Standard and Vertically
divided) of wardrobes are offered: a
full width wardrobe with two doors,
top shelf and coat rod and a
vertically divided wardrobe with
adjustable shelves on one side and a
coat rod on the other. Think of using
a Calibre cabinet without doors when
you want to have the appearance of a
bookcase when the aligning a cabinet
next to lateral files. Cabinets have
the same base detail (1 1 /2 tall) of
files, as well as the same overall
depth of 18. A Calibre bookcase is
only 15 deep and has a 2 1 /16 base
design.
Doors are available in standard
Calibre style or with fronts that
complement the aesthetic of the
Morrison system. Locks are optional
for models with doors.
Note: Morrison front cabinets are
18 7 /8 deep compared to Calibre,
which are 18 deep.
Add-on Modules
Calibre lateral files are augmented
with add-on modules that help to
make maximum use of vertical space.
Add-on modules are available in 4
nominal heights and 3 widths and
can be mounted to any standard
Calibre lateral file. Add-on units
come with two hinged doors. 27 and
30 modules have 1 installation
adjustable shelf. Modules are
available with or without locks.
Note: The actual overall exterior
height of Calibre Add-on modules is
14 7 /8,16 3 /8,28 3 /8 and 31 3 /8
Add-on modules are for use with
Calibre files only. Calibre files, and
Add-on modules are 18 deep.
Morrison or S2 front lateral files are
18 7 /8 deep and have overlay fronts
instead of inset front as is the case
with Calibre files. Therefore, neither
Morrison nor S2 front lateral files
will accept an Add-on module.
Add-on modules will attach to
Calibre files manufactured prior to
2003. There is a limit of one Add-on
module per case.
How would you or why would you
use an Add-on module?
1. Add-on modules allow for the
creation of 6 high or taller case
configurations. Match a 55.5
high case with 5-10.5 drawer
with a 13.5 nominal height
Add-on module and you have a
low profile 6 high case that
provides high-density filing for
hanging file folders with an easily
accessed space for binder storage.
2. Add-on modules can provide
additional storage capacity for
binders and supplies by making
better use of vertical space (Both
27 and 30 Add-on modules will
accommodate two rows of
standard size binders)
3. Add-on modules provide more
design flexibility by extending the
range of case heights.
