Ultimate FAQ Guide to Stainless Steel Industrial Cabinets

What Are Some Advantages And Disadvantages Of Stainless Steel For Industrial Cabinets?

Stainless steel is one of the most resistant materials out there.

It protects from all sorts of conditions like high heat, constant humidity, impact, and some chemicals.         

Stainless steel also does not corrode, unless under harsh chemicals like bleach, acids, and bases.

 Stainless steel industrial cabinet

Besides this, stainless steel—like most metals—is non-porous.

Thus, bacteria and toxins will not get absorbed and proliferate in the material. 

This is why stainless steel industrial cabinets are especially great for food and medical applications. 

These may be used for storing snacks or medical equipment. 

Stainless steel can also be recycled, so you can always recycle it in an environmentally friendly way.

On the other hand, stainless steel may not be for you if you worry about scratches or fingerprints since stainless steel will show these.

Furthermore, stainless steel is more expensive than most other materials. 

This is why it is better to order stainless steel industrial cabinets from China—and KDM—for a cheaper price and good quality.

Stainless steel is also susceptible to tea-staining, which is a rust-looking change in the color of stainless steel.

 Tea-staining

Smoke, salt, heat, and harsh water can discolor your stainless steel industrial cabinet. 

But, this does not change the life of your industrial cabinet. 

Thus, our stainless steel industrial cabinet is a reliable investment and will serve you for a long time. 

What Grade Of Stainless Steel Are Industrial Cabinets Made Of?

Stainless steel is made by adding chromium, nickel, and molybdenum in different proportions to the iron-carbon alloy. 

Steel grades differ in the content of all these additives. 

Stainless steel industrial cabinets can be made with steel grades 304, 304L, 316, and 316L. 

316 stainless steel protects the best against salt spray, certain acids, and high temperatures because of its higher concentration of molybdenum. 

   Stainless steel sheets

Thus, grade 316 is really good for kitchen cabinets, factory equipment, and medical equipment because it is so corrosion- and heat-resistant.

Grade 304 has similar characteristics, but slightly less so.

It is also cheaper and more common in general use.

Grades 316L and 304L have a lower carbon content, making them a little bit stronger. 

However, these types of steel are not very frequently used on the general market. 

But they are most common for industrial applications. 

What Size Are Stainless Steel Industrial Cabinets?

Standard stainless steel industrial cabinets tend to be about 30-45 inches (80-110 cm) in height.

The average depth tends to be about 24 inches, or 60 cm.

The average width ranges from 12 to 42 inches, equivalent to 30-100 cm.

However, the dimensions depend on your application, how much the industrial cabinet needs to house, where it will be installed, and how mobile or stationary it will be. 

Stainless steel industrial cabinet dimensions

We will support any dimension requirement you need, so contact us and make your requests!

How Are Stainless Steel Industrial Cabinets Manufactured?

First of all, we create a scheme or blueprint of your industrial cabinet design.

It shows all the dimensions, cuts, holes, bends, and miscellaneous things for features that are necessary.

Then, a large sheet of stainless steel—usually gauge 18 or 14— is cut down to the appropriate size. 

          Bending stainless steel

A large machine bends this sheet in the appropriate places to create finished edges.

To enforce certain parts of the industrial cabinet, sheet metal is folded several times.

This is done for gussets, ribs, and end panels.

After that, the top, bottom, and the sides are welded together.

You can request either continuous welding or spot welding.

Spot welding is when welds are made at regular intervals. 

 Welding stainless steel

This does not take as long as continuous welding, but it may not be as strong. 

Then, any shelves, doors, and drawers are installed or welded into the empty industrial cabinet. 

Finally, the industrial cabinet is polished and shipped to your business location.

What Are Some Applications For Stainless Steel industrial cabinets?

Stainless steel industrial cabinets can be used in a variety of ways.

Our stainless steel industrial cabinets can serve as storage units for factories, warehouses, medical storage units, commercial kitchen cabinets, storage for laboratory equipment, or even as a file cabinet. 

If you need heavy-duty stainless steel industrial cabinets, then we also offer specialized NEMA and IP enclosures. 

Such storage units may house equipment, operating manuals, tools, and warehouse items. 

Stainless steel industrial cabinets need to have shelves that can take up to 200 kilograms, and doors with locks to protect the contents of the industrial cabinet.

 Big industrial cabinet

Industrial cabinets may also be used as general storage units, so they would require a lock.

These industrial cabinets are also great for workplace changerooms to hang up uniforms. 

Stainless steel industrial change room storage

Medical storage industrial cabinets are great in stainless steel because this metal is sterile and hygienic. 

These will have a lot of small and big compartments for various supplies and medications.

It is very important to have locks on such industrial cabinets, and if there are any glass doors, they should be made from impact-resistant glass.

We call these display cabinets, which are also available in a vintage style to fit into offices and labs.

Medical stainless steel industrial cabinet

Medical industrial cabinets may also need a worktop surface and casters for mobility and versatility in emergency situations. 

To request a worktop, we offer modular industrial cabinets.

Similarly, such industrial cabinets are great for schools and laboratories to store equipment, chemicals, and biological matter. 

We also offer decorative industrial cabinets with regular glass doors and windows.

As mentioned, these are display or view cabinets.

Stainless steel display industrial cabinet

Industrial cabinets can also be used as restaurant cabinets. 

Furthermore, our stainless steel industrial cabinets are versatile for any other application.

What Specialty Designs Of Stainless Steel Industrial Cabinets Are There?

Some designs of specialty stainless steel industrial cabinets include corner industrial cabinets, pegboard industrial cabinets, aerosol cabinets, and hydraulic hose cabinets. 

Corner industrial cabinets are designed to be placed into a corner space and house items of irregular shapes.

These are often wall-mounted and they help efficiently use up space in labs and restaurant kitchens.

Corner industrial cabinet

Pegboard industrial cabinets have holes on the surfaces of the back wall or the sides.

Pegboard stainless steel industrial cabinet

These holes or hooks can be used to hang various tools, which is useful in factories, janitorial applications, medical equipment housing, and much more.

Hydraulic hose industrial cabinets typically house hoses, but they can house anything else as well.

They have vertical shelves or dividers that break up the space of the stainless steel industrial cabinet into vertical portions. 

Such industrial cabinets can be used for anything that requires vertical storage, such as hoses, sheets of metal or paper, specialty tools, etc. 

Hydraulic hose stainless steel industrial cabinet

Aerosol industrial cabinets have thicker walls because aerosols are dangerous and can explode under certain conditions.

Such cabinets are also often painted a bright colour like yellow or red to signify danger.

     Aerosol industrial cabinet

Chain hoist cabinets—or strong-hold, heavy-duty cabinets—have very strong shelves, bars, and hooks to withstand the weight of hoses or chains.

These are useful for factory applications, and even on construction sites.

What Are Some Design Features I Can Request For A Stainless Steel Industrial Cabinet?

The features that are available for stainless steel industrial cabinets include casters, shelves, drawers, doors, glass windows, organizational hooks, bars, locks, upstands, ramps, and various handles. 

Casters are small wheels on the bottom of your industrial cabinet.

We offer two-wheeled cabinets and other designs as well.

Casters make your stainless steel industrial cabinet portable.

Thus, you can even use it as a trolley and portable storage.

Besides casters, we can manufacture industrial cabinets on legs with regular or adjustable feet.

Industrial cabinet legs and casters

As for organization, we offer stainless steel shelves for more efficient storage.

If you want, the shelves can also be made from glass or grilles. 

   Glass shelf

Glass shelves are often used in medical and lab industrial cabinets.

Plus, the shelves can be sliding, installed on a leading track.

This allows you to adjust the number of shelves and the space between them.

 Sliding shelf

Besides shelves, we manufacture sets of drawers that can be used for tools, medications, equipment, and anything else that you need.

Stainless steel drawers

We also make glass doors and windows, so the industrial cabinet can be looked into.

These windows can also be made from ABS for impact-resistance. 

Also, the storage units can be equipped with locks and vents for security and air circulation, respectively. 

An upstand is the higher part of a worktop, cabinet, or any working surface.

This part slightly protrudes beyond the depth of the main cabinet.

Upstands hide the gap between the cabinet and the wall.

They also protect a small part of the wall from splashes. 

Upstands are great for kitchen industrial cabinets, modular designs, as well as for laboratories. 

Another feature that is great for kitchens is a sink with a drying surface.

The sink can be either cutout, or integrated, while the drying surface is a plate with grooves.

Such cabinets are also perfect for fast food restaurants and even scientific labs. 

Ramps help load heavy items or equipment into the industrial cabinet. 

Ramps can be stainless steel, or have rubber non-slip components as well. 

Ramps can be folded into the cabinet, or they can be fully independent.

Such a specialty feature is great for factory equipment, as well as heavy-duty service applications, such as janitorial cleaning.

All of these are custom, so contact us to discuss your design idea!

What Are The Types Of Doors Available For Stainless Steel Industrial Cabinets?

Some types of doors for stainless steel industrial cabinets include bi-fold doors, Clearview doors, standard doors, sliding doors, ventilated doors, and roll-up doors.  

Bi-fold doors slide out and fold in on themselves, saving you a lot of space.

Thus, bi-fold doors are great for cramped places like kitchen and restaurant pantries and laundry rooms. 

 Bi-fold doors

However, these doors may require some maintenance because they slide on a track, which can become damaged with extensive use. 

Clearview doors have glass windows, allowing you to look into the industrial cabinet, making it great for decorative, medical, and laboratory applications.

Clearview doors

Standard doors are simple hinged doors.

Furthermore, our stainless steel industrial cabinets may have single doors and multiple doors.

The industrial cabinets can also have doors of different sizes—bigger on the upper level, and smaller on the lower, for example. 

Sliding doors are basically panels on tracks that can move to the side. 

They have a static and a mobile component.

These doors also save a lot of space if they are double doors—the sliding door then overlaps the stationary door.

Our modular stainless steel industrial cabinets have this option. 

  Sliding stainless steel doors

We also offer incomplete sliding doors that leave a part of the industrial cabinet open and you can slide the door to the side to close and open only certain parts, always leaving some portion of the cabinet open.

This is useful if you use the cabinet frequently, and the contents require constant ventilation.

Ventilated doors are great if you are planning to store food, electrical equipment, or medications in your stainless steel industrial cabinet.

Stainless steel vented doors

The openings or vents allow air to move in and out of the industrial cabinet, keeping air inside fresh and at an optimal temperature.

Roll-up doors are similar to modern curtains and garage doors.  

Stainless steel roll-up door

They save a lot of space but can be noisy.

They are great for very big cabinets in cramped spaces.

Regular doors may also have a magnet to keep them closed.

If you have more specific requests about the doors, then feel free to contact us!

What Handles Can Be Used For Stainless Steel Industrial Cabinets?

The main types of handles that are available include paddle handle, pull handle, recessed handle, and swing handle.

Paddle handle allows a lock to be installed into the handle, saving space and providing a clean look. 

They are easy to operate as well. 

     Paddle handle

Pull handles are the standard simple handles versatile for any application.

Pull handle

Recessed handles can just be a dent in the surface of the door.

  Recessed handle

These handles are used for sliding doors, but can be uncomfortable on any other type of door, or on big sliding doors.

Swing handles have a lock installed, and the handle can only be operated once the lock is opened.

 Swing handles

This provides security, which is perfect for medical uses, labs, file cabinets, and industrial cabinets with important or dangerous tools.

Plus, there are touch-latch mechanisms that latch upon getting pressed.

Touch-latch mechanism

What Locks Can I Request For Stainless Steel Industrial Cabinets?

Some available locking mechanisms include electronic card reader, electronic keypad, keyed, and a padlock hasp. 

Electronic card reader locks are very convenient and require only a card, so you don’t have to punch in codes or use a key.

Electronic lock

However, if the card gets lost, this becomes a big problem.

Electronic keypad locks, on the other hand, are secure and allow you not to worry about carrying anything with you except for the memory of the code. 

Such locks are great for warehouse industrial cabinets, and high-security medical cabinets.

Standard keyed locks are popular and cheap, and have many different configurations, such as cam locks, euro profile locks, and others. 

Padlock hasps are secure latches that allow a padlock to be installed. 

This is for heavy-duty industrial applications, but can be used to lock up dangerous medications as well. 

Padlock hasp

What Do I Need To Specify When Requesting A Stainless Steel Industrial Cabinet?

To make communication with your chosen manufacturer easier and more straight-forward, there are a few things you should decide on beforehand.

First, what is the industrial cabinet style that you need?

We offer display, wheeled, kitchen, modular, and many other industrial cabinets.

Second, you will need to consider the dimensions of height, width, and depth. 

Then, think about the type of door, handle, and lock that you need.

You can find the descriptions of these above. 

Other important specifications include the number of shelves—if any—the number of doors—if any—and the number of drawers—if any. 

If you do want shelves and drawers, you will need to consider their capacity.

In other words: how much weight do they need to uphold.

Some industrial shelves are capable of holding up to 1300 kilograms!

Plus, you might need to think about the desirable method of construction, which includes bolted or welded.

Bolted industrial cabinets can be assembled by you and they can be modular.

Meanwhile, welded industrial cabinets are sturdier.

Will your industrial cabinet be stationary or mobile is yet another consideration you need to make. 

Finally, you should think about the finish and the colour of your stainless steel industrial cabinet. 

How Are Stainless Steel Industrial Cabinets Installed?

Stainless steel industrial cabinets can be floor-standing or wall-mounted.

Floor-standing cabinets can be big and heavy.

They can stand on legs or on a pedestal, as well as on wheels.

This depends on the aesthetics and functionality you need.

If you need portability, then wheels are great.

If you need a more traditional look, then legs might be better, whereas pedestals look futuristic.

Plus, pedestals are better for big cabinets—so it is balanced.

   Floor-standing industrial cabinets

We also offer wall-mounted stainless steel industrial cabinets, which can be used anywhere and for all kinds of storage. 

However, if you need a wall-mounted cabinet for electrical components, then an enclosure would be better.

Wall-mounted cabinets are mounted with brackets and screws, and they are smaller and lighter.

Wall-mounted ss industrial cabinet

Thus, they are better for things that need to be everywhere and should not take up space, such as resuscitation equipment. 

What Finishes And Coatings Can I Request For Stainless Steel Industrial Cabinets?

You can request various polishes like satin, brushed, mirror, and many more. 

Satin polish is an abrasive polish that uses aluminum oxide as an abrasive substance. 

   Polishing stainless steel

This finish produces a fairly smooth surface. 

There is also brushed finish, which shows lines and is rougher to the touch.

This finish can also be referred to as “hairline”.

However, brushed polish does not show scratches and fingerprints.

 Brushed vs satin polish

Mirror polish is a very smooth mirror surface.

It is easier to clean, but any scratches and fingerprints are very prominent on such a surface.

Mirror polish looks very aesthetic, industrial, and futuristic.

Mirror finish

If you need a custom polish, contact us and we will design it for you!

Some of the coatings that are popular include baked enamel and powder coating. 

Baked enamel is a hard, glossy varnish made from a resin that is baked at high temperatures.

  Cabinet with baked enamel

Such enamel is very resistant to wear, so the industrial cabinet will serve you longer. 

Powder coating is when powder paint is electrostatically sprayed onto a metal surface. 

Powder coating

Both coatings can be of any colour. 

However, most manufacturers opt for powder coating because it does not produce toxins that baking enamel does. 

Also, powder coating has a better edge coverage. 

Coatings help protect the stainless steel surface, so it lasts an even longer time.
