[Nhcoll-l] Type cabinets

[Jean-Marc Gagnon]

Hugh,

We bought our type cabinets about 23 years ago. The original company (A&A Sheet Metal Products) is now part of the company Securall, located in La Porte, Indiana (not too far from Chicago). They are basically Flammable Storage Cabinets. I don't know of Canadian companies manufacturing such cabinets, other than some that may produce them custom. Still, you may be able to get the Securall products through Acklands Grainger or Seton.

Our specs are simple:

*         Secure, lockable with Medico key;

*         Double wall, powder-coated (it's nice to be able to get a colour like beige instead of red of yellow);

*         Adjustable shelves (4-5 units);

*         Vented.

This may work for you; it seems very similar to what we have: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.acklandsgrainger.com_en_product_CABINET-2D45GAL-2D65X43X18-2DFM-2DAPR_p_HWFC245-3Fanalytics-3DsearchResults&d=DwIFAg&c=cjytLXgP8ixuoHflwc-poQ&r=LpYc_Z_iN1KRw0hheb3x6-8MJUMu482qfHowpGYJqwc&m=u_BrmL1UVkKTA0AMNyHibrVd3IWG_OWsIx9r6MZgZnE&s=Men-nBhJ_BpYcWkKwym61bw5AV4-xxCh7twIoeKoUdQ&e=

Hi all,

We are running out of room in our invertebrate (wet) type cabinets and need to expand. I'm looking to buy an extra one or two cabinets to complement our existing two. Our current cabinets are roughly 45x165x85 cm.

I thought it might be worth asking here if anyone had any suggestions for suppliers available in Canada. Any particular specifications, or will any sturdy lockable steel cabinet do?

Thanks,

Hugh
