DO NOT CHANGE
Fire extinguishers can be stored safely indoors or outdoors in robust metal storage cabinets. Within this category you will find cabinets suitable for housing fire extinguishers with a filling mass of 6 kg up to 12 kg, so you can match the cabinet size precisely to the extinguisher you use. These cabinets are designed to help protect the extinguisher from dust, dirt and accidental damage, while keeping it clearly accessible in an emergency.
Depending on the model, the metal storage cabinets can be sealed with a tamper-evident seal or secured with a lock. Plombable versions are ideal where quick visual control is required, as a broken seal immediately shows that the cabinet has been opened. Lockable cabinets provide an extra level of protection against unauthorised access or vandalism, which is especially useful in public areas, outdoor locations or workplaces with high traffic.
Most cabinets are made from durable sheet steel or similar metal materials, chosen for their strength and long service life. The surfaces are typically powder-coated or otherwise treated to resist corrosion, making them suitable for use in more demanding environments such as industrial halls, warehouses, garages, car parks or outdoor areas exposed to weather. When used outdoors, it is important to install the cabinet in a position that minimises direct exposure to standing water and extreme conditions to help preserve both the cabinet and the extinguisher.
Metal storage cabinets also support a tidy and clearly organised safety infrastructure. By giving each fire extinguisher a fixed, marked location, employees and visitors can quickly find the equipment they need. Many cabinets feature clearly visible symbols or labels indicating the presence of fire-fighting equipment, which can be supplemented with additional safety signage if required by local regulations or internal company rules.
In professional environments, such as offices, production plants, logistics centres, commercial buildings or public institutions, using dedicated metal cabinets for fire extinguishers can also make regular inspections easier. The extinguisher remains protected yet is simple to access for periodic checks, refilling or replacement. A well-chosen cabinet size ensures that the extinguisher can be removed and returned without difficulty, even when wearing protective gloves or working under time pressure.
When selecting a cabinet, always verify the compatibility between the extinguisher size and the internal dimensions of the cabinet. The filling mass (for example 6 kg or 12 kg) gives a good indication, but the overall height and diameter of the extinguisher should also be taken into account. Correct fitting helps prevent unnecessary movement inside the cabinet and reduces the risk of damage to hoses, nozzles or pressure gauges.
This category includes solutions that can be integrated into a wide range of safety setups, from small workshops and offices to large industrial sites. By placing metal storage cabinets in strategically chosen locations, you contribute to a clear, professional fire protection concept where extinguishers are both protected and immediately ready for use when needed.
