Used, Second Hand or Refurbished?
Most businesses searching for used office storage or second hand filing cabinets are looking for something better than a traditional second-hand purchase. There is an important distinction, and it matters when you are furnishing a working office. A second hand cabinet is usually sold as it left the last office, with no work done. What Coggin SOS supplies is refurbished: every unit is cleaned, serviced, repaired and quality checked before it leaves us. The unit has had a previous life. The standard it arrives at is not. So if you are searching for second hand filing cabinets to reduce costs, you are in the right place. What you will receive is considerably better than second hand.
Refurbished Office Storage Explained
How much do second hand filing cabinets cost?
Refurbished filing cabinets from Coggin SOS start at £115 per unit ex VAT, with quantity pricing on a floor's worth. Across the storage range prices start at £80 per unit ex VAT for pedestals. That is up to 80% less than buying new. Delivery and installation are quoted with the order.
Do second hand filing cabinets come with keys?
Every lock is serviced before dispatch. If the original keys come with the unit they are supplied; otherwise keys can be ordered from www.fastkeys.co.uk at extra cost. All units are delivered unlocked.
Can you supply used office pedestals on their own?
Yes. We supply refurbished pedestals from a single unit upward. Choose under-desk, mobile or slimline three drawer units in steel or wood. Drawers and locks are serviced before dispatch. Sizes are on the pedestals card above.
What is the difference between a tambour cupboard and a filing cabinet?
A tambour cupboard has sliding doors and adjustable shelves, so it holds files, boxes and binders and needs no swing clearance in front of it. A filing cabinet has drawers built for suspension files. Which one suits a space depends on the walkway width and what is being stored.
Are second hand steel filing cabinets suitable for confidential files?
A steel filing cabinet with a working lock is the usual choice for paper records in an office. Every lock on a refurbished filing cabinet from Coggin SOS is serviced before dispatch and the drawers are checked under load. We do not certify cabinets to a security or data protection standard, so check the cabinet against your own policy. Original keys are supplied when they come with the unit, otherwise keys can be ordered at extra cost.
Do your filing cabinets take foolscap or A4 suspension files?
Steel filing cabinets made for UK offices take foolscap suspension files as standard, and many also take A4 on the same runners. Tell us which size you use when you enquire and we check each cabinet against it before we quote.
Do you sell second hand metal storage cabinets and cupboards in matching colours?
Yes. Finishes on our metal storage cabinets, cupboards and tambours vary with the stock we hold and are shown on the live stock portal. Where a colour is not in stock we can often match it, confirmed with your quote.

The team at Coggin helped me with an office refurb this summer and the service was 10/10. No pressure was applied and Jess allowed me to plan and take my time. We went ahead with 10 desks and multiple storage units, also replacing my old furniture and recycling it. Install was extremely smooth with minimal disturbance to our sales floor. We will be using Coggin to refurb 2 other offices in 2026 and 2027.

We used Coggin for our recent office refit. They removed for recycling our old office kit and supplied c. 30 refurbished chairs, at a fraction of the cost of buying new. From start to finish, Jess was a delight to work with, being prompt with information, keeping us informed and being flexible when we changed our minds. Would recommend these chaps in a heartbeat.

Thank you to Jess and all the team at Coggin for their hard work and dedication in providing us with more high quality refurbished chairs, and a full impact report for our ESG & sustainability reporting. I'd have no hesitation in recommending their services, every item we've received has been of very high quality with service to match.
