Double Door Industrial Module | Workshop Cabinet | Hall Fast

Optimise your workshop storage with the DEA WorkLab Double Door Industrial Module, a space-efficient cabinet that delivers double-door access within a single module footprint. Ideal for workshops where floor space is at a premium, this compact yet capacious cabinet provides secure, organised storage for tools, equipment, and consumables without consuming valuable workspace.

Manufactured entirely in Italy by DEA, Europe's foremost workshop furniture specialist, this industrial module embodies 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 twin retractable doors are the defining feature of this module. When opened, both doors fold smoothly back into the cabinet body, completely clearing the front aperture. This innovative mechanism eliminates the door swing obstruction associated with conventional hinged cabinets—a significant advantage in busy workshop environments where technicians need unrestricted movement and maximum access to stored items.

Heavy-gauge steel construction with fully welded joints creates a rigid, durable framework that maintains structural integrity throughout years of demanding workshop use. The double-skin door panels add further rigidity while enhancing the cabinet's premium appearance and resistance to impacts.

The signature anthracite grey polyester powder coating provides comprehensive protection against the oils, solvents, and chemicals typically encountered in automotive and industrial environments. Applied electrostatically and oven-cured, this robust finish resists scratches, chips, and corrosion while maintaining its professional appearance over time.

Internal adjustable shelving allows you to configure the storage space to suit your specific requirements, accommodating items of varying heights from small consumables to larger equipment.

Space-Saving Retractable Door Design

The retractable door mechanism transforms how you interact with cabinet storage. Traditional hinged doors swing outward into your workspace, creating obstructions that technicians must navigate around. The retractable system eliminates this issue entirely.

When opened, each door glides smoothly on precision-engineered guides, folding back into the cabinet interior. The result is complete, unobstructed access to cabinet contents with no doors protruding into walkways or work areas. This design allows cabinet placement in locations where conventional swing doors would be impractical—alongside workbenches, in narrow aisles, or near doorways.

The mechanism is engineered for durability, using quality hardware that delivers reliable operation throughout thousands of open-close cycles. Adjustable hinges maintain perfect alignment, ensuring smooth operation year after year.

Compact Dimensions, Maximum Capacity

The single module width makes this cabinet exceptionally versatile for workshop planning. It fits comfortably into spaces too narrow for larger cabinets while still providing substantial storage capacity behind its double-door front.

The double-door configuration offers a practical advantage over single-door alternatives: wider access to cabinet contents. The full-width opening enables easy placement and retrieval of larger items, while the clear sightlines help you quickly locate what you need.

Whether positioned as a standalone unit, integrated into a modular workstation, or installed in a run of mixed modules, this cabinet adapts to your specific workshop requirements.

Part of the DEA WorkLab Modular System

This double door module integrates seamlessly with DEA's comprehensive modular furniture range. Combine it with drawer units, single-door cabinets, workbenches, trolleys, and specialist modules to create a complete, cohesive workspace.

The modular approach provides flexibility as your workshop evolves. Begin with essential storage and expand the system as needs develop—all DEA modules are designed to work together both functionally and aesthetically.

Compatible modules include drawer units in various configurations, extended-width cabinets, tall storage closets, wall-mounted units, fluid distribution modules, sink modules, and ecological waste management systems.

Italian Engineering Excellence

DEA's commitment to quality is evident in every aspect of this cabinet. 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.

All doors feature 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 and allow fine-tuning throughout the cabinet's service life.

The chrome-plated extruded aluminium handles combine ergonomic design with durability, while integrated label holder guides enable clear identification of cabinet contents.

Professional Finish

The anthracite grey polyester powder coating delivers both aesthetic appeal and functional protection. This electrostatically applied, oven-cured finish creates 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.

Quality You Can Trust

DEA Italian Worklab has built its reputation furnishing workshops for the world's most prestigious automotive manufacturers. From Ferrari service centres to dealerships across Europe, DEA furniture is trusted wherever quality and professionalism are paramount.

Every component is designed and manufactured at DEA's Italian facilities—a vertical integration that ensures consistent quality and the meticulous attention to detail that distinguishes DEA from mass-market alternatives.
