Why choose a metal cabinet for your garage or workshop?

Resistance that is noticeable from day one

Metal cabinets are designed to last. This isn't just a slogan: they're made from cold-rolled steel , a material that withstands impacts, weight, humidity, and the intensive use that any workspace demands. Unlike wood or plastic, they won't warp, splinter, or deform.

For example, if you store heavy tools, oils, or products that leave residue, a metal cabinet offers peace of mind. You can clean it easily without fear of damage. And thanks to its baked epoxy paint finish, it's perfectly resistant to corrosion.

Did you know that many models can hold between 30 and 80 kg per shelf? And without needing any reinforcement.

Safety for you and your tools

If you have children at home, coworkers, or simply want to prevent unauthorized access to your belongings, lockable metal cabinets are a great solution. A simple key can make all the difference between order and chaos.

Models like the Double-door metal filing cabinets allow you to store delicate products, documents, or valuable tools with complete peace of mind.

More order, less stress

There's a special feeling when you know everything is in its place. You not only save time, but you also feel better while you work . By reducing clutter, you also reduce the risk of tripping, losing things, and having accidents.

Imagine having a wardrobe like this Wall-mounted unit with a middle shelf , where you can organize your everyday items without taking up floor space. Practical, right?

Choose the wardrobe that suits you

What are you going to use it for?

This is the first thing you should consider. Not all metal cabinets are the same, and that's good news: there's one for every need.

• Do you store everyday tools? A wall cabinet gives you quick access and saves space.

• Do you have items that need to be kept secure? Choose models with a lock.

• Do you need to store folders, plans, or files? Opt for vertical cabinets with good internal height.

• Do you use sprays, oils, or chemicals? Some models allow you to add ventilation or protective trays.

Measure your space (and don't fall short)

You don't need a huge workshop to enjoy a good storage cabinet. In fact, many small garages are transformed with just a couple of well-placed cabinets.

Note: Measure the space you have and mark the dimensions of the wardrobe you want on the floor or wall with masking tape. This will give you a clear idea of ​​how it will fit.

Hinged or sliding doors?

• Hinged doors : these are the most common and allow full access. Just make sure you have enough space to open them.

• Sliding doors : ideal for narrow areas where every centimeter counts.

• Mixed doors : some modular models combine both systems to give you more versatility.

Tips and strategies for a top-notch organization

Divide and conquer: organize by frequency of use

Store everyday items at eye or hand level. For less frequently used items, place them higher or lower. This small detail saves you a lot of unnecessary movement.

Create themed zones

Dedicate a cupboard to each type of task or tool: one for electricity, another for gardening, another for maintenance… This way you don't mix things up and you find everything much faster.

What if I work with products that stain?
