File cabinets have long topped the list of office items that need to be fastened to prevent injury and damage during an earthquake. The Los Angeles Times reported that, during the June 29, 1991, 6.0 Sierra Madre Earthquake, a Glendale bank employee was injured by a falling file cabinet in what Dr. Lucy Jones of the U.S. Geological Survey referred to as "...a real puny earthquake." Also, it is human nature to fill the top two drawers to capacity and place smaller volumes of files in the lower two drawers. This makes the typical file cabinet top-heavy and can often cause their tipping by just opening the top drawers at the same time. Even one drawer shaking open during a mild earthquake can cause the cabinet to tip over. The idea behind our FileSTRAP™ is simple: 12 square inches of industrial VELCRO® brand hook and loop fasteners is used, giving a rated shear holding power of 264 pounds according to Velcro USA.
