Why Would You Want a Wall Cabinet

It may be time to evaluate your storage area, and decide what you are going to do about storage cabinets. You want to find a dealer who can provide you with the quality cabinets you need as well as other equipment. One style that customers may neglect to consider is the wall cabinet or wall mounted cabinet. In situations where floor space is scarce and the items being stored are a bit smalled, wall mounted cabinets may be the answer.

These cabinets obviously are so named because they mount to a wall's stud. Please do not mount directly to drywall. Drywall is not meant to be load bearing, unless the load is a small picture frame. A cabinet can be fully loaded with hundreds of pounds of supplies, so please make sure to mount the cabinet as described by the manufacturer. There are many quality manufacturers that produce these items, and I'd like to review some of them for your edification.

Edsal Manufacturing of Chicago Illinois does a fine job throughout the industry providing steel storage equipment at an attractive price point. Sandusky of Ohio similarly produces a line of metal cabinets and lockers in USA that is available through their distribution points nationwide. Parent Metal of Bensalem Pennsylvania produces the stylish wall cabinet in glorious gray or putty. Finally, in considering wall cabinets, don't forget Stronghold, the heavy duty cabinet manufacturer from Kentucky. Of course there are many other manufacturers that produce fine products as well. In any of my articles, specific positive commentary on any vendor should never imply negative commentary on vendors not included.

Wall cabinets are not just for storing office supplies and equipment. There is a whole category of Hazmat and Flammable cabinets as well. If you are storing hazardous materials or flammables, order the correct cabinets. Keep safe while following laws that are in place for your own safety and that of your employees. On the subject of flammable wall cabinets lets consider for a moment how the doors may close. A manually closing door requires a person to close it. This is the least expensive cabinet, but there is an obvious problem with the system. A self closing door is spring loaded with a fusable link holding the door open. When the link gets hot enough, it melts and the doors automatically shut. The action of doors shutting is what puts out the flames. The problem with manually closing doores is that a person has to shut the doors if a fire breaks out in the cabinet. In a fire, I'd prefer to be on mu way to the exit and not surveying the wall mounted flammable cabinets.

Ordering wall cabinets is challenging, do yourself a favor and choose a great dealer

Merry Christmas!!
