Fire Cabinets and Boxes

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Introduction: Secure and Accessible Fire Equipment Enclosures

Fire cabinets and boxes are the essential protective casings designed to house and safeguard critical fire suppression equipment, such as fire hose reels, fire extinguishers, and landing valves. These enclosures ensure the equipment is protected from environmental damage, vandalism, and unauthorized tampering, while also making it highly visible and immediately accessible during an emergency. For international buyers, the aesthetic integration into a building’s design is just as important as the functionality, and our cabinets meet this dual demand.

Manufactured from durable materials—typically high-gauge galvanized steel or stainless steel—our cabinets are built to endure harsh conditions. We offer surface-mounted, recessed, and semi-recessed designs to suit various installation needs, maintaining architectural integrity. Every cabinet features a robust, corrosion-resistant finish (usually red or white epoxy powder coating) and includes high-quality door mechanisms (latch or lockable) with clear signage and viewing panels, ensuring compliance with local safety regulations regarding visibility.

The internal structure is optimized for efficient storage of specific components: dual cabinets for both a hose reel and an extinguisher, or single cabinets for a single unit. Our design ethos focuses on ensuring that in an emergency, the door opens smoothly, and and the equipment can be swiftly withdrawn without obstruction. By using precision welding and standardized dimensions, our cabinets seamlessly integrate with our entire range of fire hose reels and landing valve systems, providing a complete, high-quality, and reliable fire point solution for any commercial or public structure.

Advantage: Protection, Durability, and Seamless Integration

  • Superior Corrosion Resistance: Use of high-gauge galvanized steel and a multi-stage powder-coating process guarantees durability, particularly important in coastal or high-humidity regions.
  • Security and Access Control: Standard break-glass latch mechanisms ensure equipment is safe from tampering but immediately accessible in a true emergency.
  • Aesthetic Flexibility: Offering recessed and semi-recessed models allows the cabinet to be flush with the wall, meeting the needs of high-end architectural projects where aesthetics are paramount.
  • Optimized Internal Design: Internal fixing points are pre-drilled and standardized to perfectly fit our range of hose reels and landing valve systems, simplifying installation and reducing on-site labor.
  • Visibility Compliance: Doors feature prominent fire signage and clear viewing panels, adhering to international regulations for quick identification of fire points.

Professional Usage Tips

  1. Clear Access Zone:

    Ensure the area immediately in front of the cabinet door remains permanently unobstructed. Any blockage (furniture, boxes, etc.) renders the equipment useless in an emergency and violates fire codes.

  2. Hinge and Lock Lubrication:

    Periodically check and lightly lubricate the door hinges and the latch mechanism (especially in high-humidity areas) to ensure the door opens instantly and smoothly when required.

  3. Glass Panel Integrity:

    Regularly inspect the break-glass panel (if used). Replace any cracked, dirty, or missing glass immediately to ensure the emergency key is accessible, and the visual integrity is maintained.

  4. Internal Equipment Check:

    Open the cabinet during routine checks to ensure all housed equipment (hose reel, extinguisher, valve wrench) is present, correctly positioned, and has not been tampered with or removed.

  5. Drainage (Outdoor Models):

    For outdoor or surface-mounted models, ensure the base or drainage holes (if present) are free from debris to prevent water accumulation, which could accelerate internal corrosion.

FAQ

A recessed cabinet is designed to sit flush within the wall, offering a cleaner, less intrusive appearance that is often preferred in modern and high-traffic areas where space is limited. A surface-mounted cabinet is easier to install on existing walls.

Yes. Our cabinets are sized based on standard international requirements (e.g., accommodating a 9kg/12kg extinguisher). We can also customize the internal depth and height if you have non-standard extinguisher sizes.

For outdoor or highly corrosive environments (like near the sea), we strongly recommend Stainless Steel (Grade 316) cabinets, as they offer superior long-term resistance to rust and degradation compared to standard galvanized steel.

Yes, all cabinets are supplied with mandatory, highly visible safety decals and instructions (e.g., "Fire Hose Reel" or "Fire Extinguisher") on or adjacent to the door, ensuring compliance with visibility codes.

While we recommend our durable powder-coated finish, we can supply cabinets with only a protective primer or unpainted upon special request for customers who require specific on-site architectural color matching.

The glass or Perspex panels are covered with a protective film and the entire cabinet is carefully packaged and secured within wooden crating to eliminate the risk of damage during international transit.

Our epoxy/polyester powder coating is highly durable. In typical indoor use, the finish can last 20 years or more. For outdoor use, the life depends on the severity of weather exposure, but is designed to last a minimum of 10 years before requiring significant touch-up.

We offer both. Single cabinets typically house just a hose reel or a fire extinguisher. Dual cabinets (wider models) are designed to house a hose reel and one or two fire extinguishers, creating a complete fire point.

For maximum durability and impact resistance, especially in industrial or public areas, we recommend a minimum of 1.2mm or 1.5mm high-gauge steel. The standard commercial thickness is often 1.0mm.

Yes, most fire codes require the equipment (specifically the handle of the extinguisher or the nozzle of the hose reel) to be within a specific height range (e.g., 1.0m to 1.5m from the floor) to ensure accessibility for all adults.
