Product planning
Planning files, storage, and workplace support with HON.
HON’s storage-cabinet page shows workplace storage as more than filing: cabinets, towers, and islands can support personal items, supplies, shared materials, and organization across several space types. Buyers should begin with an item-level inventory, access frequency, security, and ownership. Then test cabinet depth, door and drawer movement, standing reach, labeling, and replenishment routes within the floor plan. Pettus planning guidance can help convert the inventory into location and capacity criteria; current HON information should confirm construction, dimensions, locking, and accessory options.
HON’s storage-cabinet page presents cabinets and towers for private offices, open work areas, breakrooms, and common spaces. It identifies Brigade, Flagship, Mod, and Storage Islands while discussing personal belongings, office supplies, shared resources, and varied cabinet configurations.
Buyer planning guide
What to evaluate before specification.
Use the room, user needs, and project constraints to narrow the right application before comparing product options, finishes, and project requirements.
Planning factor 1
Inventory and ownership
Separate personal, team, facility, consumable, and retained materials, then assign responsibility and access expectations for each category.
Planning factor 2
Access frequency
Place daily items within comfortable reach and less-used materials farther away, while preserving clear doors, drawers, and circulation.
Planning factor 3
Security and control
Identify what requires restricted access, key or credential management, visibility, labeling, and documented responsibility before choosing storage types.
Planning factor 4
Shared-space support
Evaluate whether islands or cabinets also need to support sorting, supplies, touchdown work, display, waste collection, or team handoffs.

Frequently asked questions
Questions buyers ask about files, storage, and workplace support.
How is storage capacity estimated?
Measure or count the actual items, group them by size and access frequency, and include only a justified allowance for expected growth.
Where should shared storage be located?
Choose a location convenient to intended users without narrowing primary paths, disrupting focused work, or creating conflicts at doors and drawers.
What locking details should be verified?
Confirm which items need security, who requires access, how credentials or keys are managed, and the current lock options for each cabinet.
