A0 Drawing Storage Cabinets

An A0 drawing cabinet is a flat-file plan chest for storing architectural plans, blueprints and technical drawings at full A0 size, 841 by 1189 mm. Sheets are stored flat, never folded or rolled. Cabinets are 1350 mm wide and 945 to 960 mm deep, with a choice of five or ten shallow drawers, and a matching leg stand raises one to working height.

Why flat storage

Rolled drawings curl and have to be weighted down to be read; folded ones crease along the fold and tear at the corners. A plan chest keeps each sheet flat and supported across its whole area, so a drawing stays usable for as long as the project needs it. Shallow drawers matter: a drawer holding only a modest stack lets you reach the sheet you want without lifting and disturbing everything above it, which is what damages archived drawings over time.

Drawers, stands and configuration

The five-drawer cabinet suits a working set of current drawings; the ten-drawer cabinet suits an archive, or a practice running several projects at once. Overall heights range from 100 to 760 mm depending on configuration, so a cabinet can sit on a worktop, stand at low level, or be raised on the leg stand. Drawers take smaller DIN sizes stored flat alongside full sheets. Where A0 is more than you need, the A1 drawing cabinet range is the same format in a 1100 mm width.
