[Decision guide]
What this article will help you decide
administrative, facility and purchasing teams
calculate storage based on actual volume, access, security and future additions
Don't just count the number of sections: check the internal format, opening of the facades, passages, locks and fastenings
What needs to be determined before requesting a quote?
Metal is suitable for high loads and service areas; chipboard is easier to integrate into the interior; safety depends on the specific design.
The solution starts with input and measurable filing cabinet requirements.
- plan and use cases
- quantity, deadline and budget guideline
- documents, logistics and service
How to make a decision and compare options?
Compare shelf loads, locks, stability, folder format, cleaning and document requirements.
Compare options based on the same composition: product, configuration, documents, logistics, installation and service. Record any exception or analogue on a separate line so that the final price does not hide the differences.
What should be included in the specification and contract?
Compare shelf loads, locks, stability, folder format, cleaning and document requirements.
- exact articles, sizes, materials and quantities;
- confirmed deadline and schedule dependencies;
- composition of delivery, lifting, assembly and acceptance;
- guarantee of a specific series and the procedure for eliminating comments.
What mistakes to avoid?
It is a mistake to call an ordinary metal cabinet fire resistant without supporting testing.
Do not take an advertising promise as a condition of a contract. If the outcome is dependent on availability, site readiness, sample approval, or a third-party contractor, this dependency should be visible in the schedule.
How does the PoMo Union Office address this challenge?
PoMo checks the task on the plan, selects series, samples and generates a specification for filing cabinets.
To calculate, send the floor plan, number of employees, city, desired launch date and project limitations. The team will match the problem with catalog, will prepare a plan and line-by-line specification without unconfirmed prices and deadlines.
Which series should I look at in the catalogue?
Below are starting points for comparison. Final compatibility, finishes, quantity and timing must be confirmed according to specification:

Frequently asked questions
Is a metal cabinet always fire resistant?
No. Fire resistance is confirmed by the documentation of a specific model, and not by the case material.
What data is needed for preliminary calculation?
Floor plan, number of employees, city, deadline, budget guideline and filing cabinet requirements.
Is it possible to compare several options?
Yes. PoMo can prepare comparable scenarios with the same scope of work and clearly stated differences.
Do these recommendations replace a commercial proposal?
No. The final conditions are fixed only after checking the configuration, availability, logistics and facility.
A low-commitment first step
Plan storage by zone
Send a list of items stored, number of users, access requirements, floor plan and height restrictions. During working hours, the team will clarify the missing data and prepare a storage diagram with module types and quantities by zone.
- 01
You share the project details list of items stored, number of users, access requirements, layout and height restrictions.
- 02
We review the brief We clarify the restrictions, availability and scope of work.
- 03
You receive a clear next step storage diagram with module types and quantities by zone.
