Aurora Filing & Divided Drawers
Configure Aurora shelving with filing drawers and divided drawers for records, forms, office supplies and small bulk items. Published widths, depths, heights, compartments and retrofit details included.
Filing and divided drawers for Aurora shelving
Aurora filing and divided drawers turn open shelving or mobile-ready shelving into more controlled storage for files, forms, supplies and small bulk items. Filing drawers support letter and legal files with side-to-side or front-to-back choices; divided drawers organize smaller items into compartments. Both are retrofit-oriented accessories in the Aurora literature.

What to store in Aurora drawers
The best drawer arrangement usually combines several heights in one shelving bay. Short compartments handle small items; taller filing drawers handle folders or larger office material. Avoid choosing a single drawer height for every shelf before reviewing the actual inventory.
Drawer planning and safety
The Aurora divided-drawer literature describes a double-interlock safety feature that allows only one drawer to open at a time. It also notes that Quik-Lok shelving units must be anchored at four points through the Quik-Base for user safety. These are manufacturer-specific installation requirements, not a substitute for a site review or the current installation instructions.
Classify contents
Separate files, forms, loose supplies and small bulk items by size and access frequency.
Set drawer heights
Use the opening heights and compartment options that match the contents.
Choose filing direction
Specify side-to-side or front-to-back filing where the filing drawer supports it.
Confirm retrofit and anchoring
Verify the shelving/mobile base, locking options and anchoring details before release.
Drawers, doors and open shelving
Drawers work alongside Aurora doors, dividers and open shelving. For a secure full-run enclosure, see Aurora Shelving Doors & Security. For color and finish coordination, use Aurora Colors & Finishes. For the overall product family, return to the Aurora Shelving hub rather than treating one accessory as a complete room design.
Buyer checklist for an Aurora quote
Bring the room dimensions, stored-material categories, largest and heaviest items, access frequency, desired finish, existing Aurora details and the timing constraints to the first review. Those inputs let the design team separate published manufacturer information from project-specific assumptions and identify which source document controls the final configuration.
- Room dimensions, ceiling and floor conditions
- Inventory categories, sizes and approximate loads
- Access, security and filing direction
- Existing shelving photos or model information
- Finish, add-on and future-growth requirements
