FAQ Frequently asked questions about surface-mounted cabinets
What is the difference between a surface-mounted cabinet and a recessed cabinet?
A surface-mounted cabinet is fixed entirely on top of the wall and protrudes from the partition, making installation very simple. A recessed cabinet requires an opening inside the wall so that the housing sits flush or nearly flush with the wall surface.
Can this cabinet be installed outdoors?
This steel model is designed primarily for indoor use. For outdoor installations directly exposed to rain, freezing temperatures, and moisture, it is highly recommended to use weatherproof thermoplastic or fiberglass cabinets to prevent corrosion.
How do you access the extinguisher in an emergency?
Depending on the specific configuration, access is gained either by opening the door using a pull-handle latch or by using an emergency breaker hammer to smash the safety glass or clear access panel
