Heavy-duty metal structure built for a perfect flush finish

Manufactured from high-quality steel, this cabinet features a robust swinging door equipped with a clear acrylic front panel. This transparent window allows safety inspectors and property managers to instantly verify the presence of the extinguisher and check its pressure gauge status during mandatory monthly inspections, without needing to open the box.

The pre-painted grey finish serves as an excellent primer coat. You can choose to install it as is for a modern industrial look or easily paint it to match the exact color of your walls. The rough-in box is specifically engineered to fit cleanly into wall cavities while maintaining adequate internal clearance for the device.

FAQ — Frequently asked questions about fully recessed cabinets

What is the main difference between a semi-recessed cabinet and a fully recessed cabinet?

A semi-recessed cabinet fits partially into a standard wall and leaves a border protruding about an inch from the surface. A fully recessed cabinet sits completely inside the wall cavity, meaning the door and frame sit perfectly flush (equal) with the drywall surface.

Are the mounting hardware and the fire extinguisher included?

The cabinet is supplied with its clear acrylic panel for the front door, but the 5 lb portable fire extinguisher and the specific wall-mounting hardware (screws or anchors) must be purchased separately. This allows you to select the exact extinguisher type required for your building's specific hazards.

Can this grey model be installed in a garage or outdoors?

This steel cabinet is engineered exclusively for indoor environments. It is not recommended for outdoor applications or areas with high moisture exposure (such as wash bays or weather-exposed exterior walls), where weatherproof plastic or fiberglass cabinets are required to prevent corrosion.
