FAQs

What is the maximum paper size these files accommodate?

These files are specifically sized for foolscap documents.

Does this pack include 10 individual files?

Yes, this is a pack of 10 complete lever arch files.

Can these be labeled for identification?

Yes, there is space on the spine for applying custom labels or index markers.

Are these suitable for long-term archival?

Yes, the high-quality board and reinforced construction are designed for long-term document storage.

What is the width of the spine?

Each file has a 70mm spine capacity.

Is the compressor bar removable?

The compressor bar is designed to be a permanent part of the filing mechanism to keep documents secure.

Troubleshooting

The lever mechanism is stuck or difficult to open.

Ensure that the file is not overfilled beyond its capacity and check for any paper scraps caught in the hinge mechanism.

The file cover does not stay closed.

Ensure the slots in the front cover are correctly aligned with the prongs of the arch mechanism to allow the cover to lock.

Documents fall out when the file is moved.

Always verify that the compressor bar is pushed down firmly against the stack of paper before closing the lever.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-capacity storage for large volumes of documents
  • Reinforced edges significantly increase shelf life
  • Compressor bar keeps paperwork neatly aligned
  • Metal finger pull aids in quick identification and retrieval
  • Sturdy board construction ensures long-term stability

Cons

  • Large 70mm footprint requires substantial shelving depth
  • Cloud effect finish can show dust if not occasionally wiped
  • Harder to transport compared to lightweight ring binders

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your files, simply release the lever mechanism to open the metal arches. Thread your punched papers onto the rings, ensuring they are aligned. Place the compressor bar on top of your documents before locking the lever closed. These files are designed for standard foolscap-sized paper. To maintain the files, avoid overstuffing beyond the 70mm limit, as this can stress the lever mechanism. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture from warping the cardboard core. If the exterior paper becomes dusty, a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth is sufficient for cleaning.
