Abstract
A universal wall support or frame member is provided which is used to connect laterally spaced apart side walls of a file cabinet or other type of storage cabinet. The universal wall support includes opposite end sections which are telescopingly engaged together so that the wall support may be extended to any desired length and thereafter fixed at a set length such that the universal wall support is usable for different size cabinet constructions. The opposite end sections define a first range of cabinet sizes, and the universal wall support may include an intermediate extender section which slidably joins opposite end sections together so that the universal wall support defines a second range of cabinet sizes. The opposite end sections further include support flanges for supporting the side walls, particularly those made of wood, to further strengthen the file cabinet.
