Ratings & Reviews for Sterilite Portable Lockable File Box Organizer with Handle (12 Pack)

Great Except for Latch Support

I use three of these boxes for my personal files and they travel with me north for the summer and south for the winter. I have used these boxes for years and find them very useful, however two of them have broken when the side latch breaks off because the thin plastic on the bottom of the hinge insert breaks off (not the hinge itself). This part cannot be replaced without buying a whole new container. Perhaps the engineers of this box can widen the plastic where the holes are to make it more dur...

Just what I needed!

I am a 5th grade teacher. I often prepare worksheets and other handouts in advance of the days I teach my lesson. I use this storage box, along with hanging file folders of 4 different colors (1 color for each week of the month). I have the files labeled Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri. I store the worksheets I need in the file folders for the week they are needed. It is extremely handy and portable. I can carry it to and from school as needed.

love the product. very durable!

I love this filing box because of how durable it is. I just REALLY wish it came in other colors then just black!! I love bright energetic colors

Great useful files

These files are very useful to keep your letters & important papers in 1 area & very organized. I use 3 of them.

Portable file box

I have 2 of the Sterilite Portable file boxes. They are very useful for temporary or permanent storage of your files. The first 1 we bought was used to keep track of our monthly bills and receipts. Later as our paperwork grew we switched to using the file box for only the current month and then moved the contents to Banker Boxes for 7 year storage. I bought a 2nd boxes for current projects and activities: maps and vacation literature, home projects ideas, and other items we are working on. The...

Latch Broke

This is a great product. The only problem I have is that the latch snapped off. It would be great if the company had a link to replacement parts for their products. I do recommend if it is heavy, not to pick it up by the handle. That is how my latch broke.

Very helpful!

This portable organizer allowed me to get all of my files ready and organized for the beginning of the school year. It came in very handy in helping me store important documents that I wanted to be able to locate after summer break! Awesome product =)

AWESOME box for the office

I work partly from home and partly from my office. I have three of these. They are wonderful products to keep all of your files and information with you in an organized and easily moveable manner. The best part is that I even put way too much stuff in one and broke the hinged fastener. I contacted Sterlite and then sent me one free! I just had to snap it on and it worked perfectly. It also has a place for makers/pens/whiteout/paperclips and anything else you can think of in the lid. This is a gr...

Teacher friendly

I use this product in my classroom -- it is just the right size to keep the worksheets I use with my direct instruction reading program where I can get to them as I need them. I love it.

Classroom Organized!

WOWZA! I love the portable file box that I use in my first grade classroom! I am able to easily find materials that I need to work with individual and small groups of students. I keep papers, mini posters, and many other essential items inside the bin. I store a calculator, pens and pencils, note paper, paperclips and other needed items in the in-lid storage compartment. When teaching young children reading, writing, and math every minute is important! With this Sterilite product I am always rea...

This products features are awesome!

Love to use this file box that was a gift. Has room in the lid for a little bit of everything so no matter where I want my office to be in the house or outside (weather permitting) I have my supplies and information at my fingertips. It's portability making it just awesome for quick setup and clean up when the work is done.

Great product except or latch

Product has worked well for a year or so but I was always careful not to leave the latch open because it sticks out and appeared weak. One day I turned at my desk and hit the latch with leg and it ripped right off. This appears to be its only weak spot. I like the unit and bought another just like it. A replacement latch would be nice. Not sure of load capacity but I have always lifted it from the side if it was slightly heavy with papers.

Product is ideal for transporting files and documents

I purchased several Portable File Boxes to transport my files and documents. It has a very good look to it and it is very functional. I travel to different areas of the state to meet with clients. This product allows me to store files and documents that are specific to the region that I am traveling to By using several File Boxes. I place them in my car trunk and when I reach my destination, I'll pull the file box that contains the documents that I need and I'm off to my appointment. These file ...

Survived tough moving conditions

Purchased for storing craft items, it also held up in adverse moving and storage conditions. It kept items safe, clean, and ready to use.

Great file box to organize files for meetings.

I am an officer for three different groups I belong to and these file boxes are great for organizing the main files I need for the meetings. I really like the lid section for a few necessary office supplies.

This file box has all the features I need for my "office' in my car!

I love the little "secretary" desk in the top of this file box, it holds everything I need, hiliters, pens, pencils, paper clips, rubber bands, business cards, etc. The hanging files feature is great too. My job requires me to lock my files up, so the fact that this file box locks is perfect. I like that it is lightweight enough to carry, but sturdy enough to hold all my files.

love that the products are made in america

I have many Sterilite products they are durable, reasonable in price and I love that the products are made in the usa

Great Product

I use this to keep my crochet patterns organized. It is easy to use but the best part is it is sturdy and convenient. I will be buying more for organizing pictures, bills and taxes.

This is a must have product!

Having an easy place to put and organized items that you only occasionally access is so important! I use mine for warranties and I have one for my parent's information since I help them with their finances. I don't need the tray on top, but it doesn't hurt having one!

Quality & features are great!

I currently own 1 now. I store paperwork in hanging file folders. It has been knocked over a few times with moving it around. The hanging files and papers stay put. I highly recommend this product.
