Single Door Module 30cm Depth Left Opening | Cabinet | Hall Fast

Maximise workspace efficiency with the DEA WorkLab Single Door Industrial Module featuring a reduced 30cm depth and left-hand opening. This slim-profile cabinet is purpose-designed for applications where standard-depth units would be impractical—whether creating dedicated PC workstations, fitting into narrow spaces, or providing storage without impeding movement in busy workshop environments.

Manufactured entirely in Italy by DEA, Europe's foremost workshop furniture specialist, this reduced-depth module exemplifies the precision engineering and exceptional build quality that has made DEA the supplier of choice for premium automotive brands and demanding industrial operations worldwide.

The 30cm depth offers significant advantages in specific workshop scenarios. Unlike standard modules that project further into your workspace, this slim cabinet sits closer to the wall or back panel, creating more floor space in front of the unit. This makes it ideal for diagnostic bays where technicians need room to position equipment, for PC workstations where operators sit directly in front of the unit, or for narrow aisles where deeper cabinets would restrict movement.

The left-hand opening door operates on DEA's precision-engineered hinge system. When opened, the door swings smoothly to the left, providing full access to the cabinet interior. Adjustable hinges enable perfect alignment during installation and allow fine-tuning throughout the cabinet's service life, ensuring reliable operation year after year.

Heavy-gauge steel construction with fully welded joints creates an exceptionally rigid framework that maintains structural integrity throughout years of demanding workshop use. The double-skin door panel provides enhanced rigidity and a premium appearance while resisting impacts.

The signature anthracite grey polyester powder coating delivers comprehensive protection against workshop chemicals and mechanical wear. Applied electrostatically and oven-cured, this durable finish maintains its professional appearance throughout the cabinet's working life.

Why Choose the 30cm Reduced Depth?

Standard workshop cabinets typically feature depths of 50-60cm, which is ideal for tool storage but impractical in certain applications. The 30cm reduced-depth design addresses specific workspace requirements:

PC Workstations: When technicians sit at a computer workstation, a deep cabinet positioned behind the monitor creates an uncomfortable working distance. The slim 30cm depth positions the cabinet much closer to the wall, allowing the worktop to sit at a comfortable depth for seated work with monitors, keyboards, and diagnostic equipment.

Lift Console Integration: Modern vehicle lifts often incorporate control consoles and diagnostic connections. The reduced-depth module fits neatly alongside lift columns without protruding into the service bay, keeping the working area around the vehicle clear.

Narrow Spaces: In workshops where every centimetre counts, the slim profile enables cabinet installation in locations where standard units wouldn't fit—between structural columns, in narrow corridors, or along walls with limited clearance.

Customer-Facing Areas: Reception desks and service advisor workstations benefit from the professional appearance without the bulk. The slim design creates a more open, accessible feel while still providing essential secure storage.

Perfect for Storing

This slim cabinet efficiently accommodates:

• Diagnostic tablets and laptops
• Vehicle key cabinets and key safes
• Service documentation and technical literature
• Customer paperwork and job cards
• Stationery and office supplies
• Diagnostic cables and adapters
• Small electronic equipment
• Personal protective equipment
• Cleaning supplies for screens and equipment
• Software discs and USB devices

Left-Hand Opening Configuration

The left-hand opening configuration determines how the door swings when opened—the hinge is mounted on the left side of the cabinet, and the door opens towards the left. This configuration is ideal when:

• The cabinet is positioned to the right of a workstation, allowing the door to swing away from the user
• Adjacent modules or walls are located on the right side
• Workflow naturally approaches from the right

Consider your workshop layout when selecting door configuration. DEA also offers right-hand opening variants for situations where a left-opening door would create obstructions.

Part of the DEA WorkLab Modular System

This reduced-depth module integrates seamlessly with DEA's comprehensive modular furniture range. While designed for specific applications, it maintains full compatibility with standard DEA worktops, backrests, and accessories.

The 30cm depth modules are particularly effective when combined with:

• Standard-depth drawer units for tool storage
• PC workstation configurations with monitor arms
• Lift console modules for vehicle service bays
• Wall-mounted tool panels and accessories
• Lighting kits and power distribution modules

Built to DEA Standards

Every aspect of this module reflects DEA's commitment to quality. The fully welded construction eliminates the weaknesses inherent in bolt-together alternatives—joints are permanently secured, creating a rigid structure that withstands workshop demands without loosening or developing rattles over time.

The door features double-skin construction, where two metal sheets are bonded together to create a panel of enhanced rigidity and strength. This attention to structural integrity extends to the door mounting system, where adjustable hinges enable precise alignment during installation.

Chrome-plated extruded aluminium handles combine ergonomic design with durability, while integrated label holder guides enable clear identification of cabinet contents. Pre-cut cable management provision in the upper and rear zones simplifies the routing of electrical cables during installation—particularly important for PC workstation applications.

Professional Finish

The anthracite grey polyester powder coating is applied electrostatically and oven-cured, creating a smooth, hard-wearing surface that resists the chemicals and mechanical wear encountered in workshop environments. Unlike painted finishes that can blister or peel, powder coating bonds permanently to the steel substrate, maintaining its appearance and protective properties throughout the cabinet's working life.

The consistent anthracite grey colour coordinates with all DEA WorkLab modules, enabling cohesive workshop furniture installations that project a professional image.

FAQ

Q: Why would I choose a 30cm depth cabinet over standard depth? A: The reduced 30cm depth is specifically designed for applications where standard cabinets would be impractical—PC workstations where operators sit in front of the unit, narrow workshop spaces, diagnostic bays requiring maximum floor clearance, and customer-facing reception areas where a slim profile creates a more open environment.

Q: What does "left opening" mean? A: Left opening refers to the door hinge position and swing direction. The hinge is mounted on the left side of the cabinet, so the door swings open towards the left when you face the unit. This configuration works best when the cabinet is positioned to the right of a workstation or when adjacent obstacles are on the right side.

Q: Can I integrate this reduced-depth module with standard DEA cabinets? A: Yes, this module is fully compatible with the DEA WorkLab modular system. It can be combined with standard-depth drawer units, worktops, and accessories. The different depths are often combined intentionally—for example, standard-depth tool storage alongside a reduced-depth PC workstation section.

Q: Is there an adjustable shelf inside? A: Yes, the cabinet includes adjustable internal shelving that allows you to configure storage heights to suit your specific requirements, accommodating items from small accessories to larger equipment within the available depth.

Q: Is this cabinet lockable? A: Yes, the cabinet includes a key-operated lock that secures the door, protecting valuable equipment such as diagnostic tablets, laptops, and confidential documentation from unauthorised access.
