Double Door Industrial Cabinet 1.5 Modules Wide | Hall Fast

Maximise your workshop storage capacity with the DEA WorkLab Industrial Double-Door Cabinet, spanning one and a half modules wide. This intermediate-width cabinet delivers the perfect balance between storage volume and footprint efficiency, fitting seamlessly into workshop layouts where a full double-module cabinet would be too large, but a single module provides insufficient capacity.

Manufactured entirely in Italy by DEA, Europe's leading workshop furniture specialist, this double-door cabinet exemplifies the precision engineering and build quality that has made DEA the trusted choice for premium automotive brands and demanding industrial facilities worldwide.

The innovative retractable door system sets this cabinet apart from conventional storage solutions. Rather than swinging outward into your workspace, both doors fold back neatly into the cabinet body when opened. This space-saving design eliminates door swing obstruction—a significant advantage in busy workshops where every square metre of floor space matters and technicians need unimpeded movement around their workstations.

Constructed from heavy-gauge steel with fully welded joints, this cabinet delivers the structural rigidity demanded by professional environments. The robust frame resists flexing and maintains perfect door alignment throughout years of intensive daily use. Double-skin door construction adds further rigidity while enhancing the cabinet's premium appearance.

The signature anthracite grey polyester powder coating provides exceptional resistance to the chemicals, oils, and solvents encountered in workshop environments. Applied electrostatically and oven-cured, this durable finish maintains its professional appearance while protecting the steel substrate from corrosion.

Space-Saving Retractable Doors

The retractable door mechanism is a defining feature of DEA's cabinet range. When opened, each door slides smoothly back into the cabinet body, completely clearing the front aperture without protruding into the workspace.

This design offers several practical advantages. Technicians can access cabinet contents without manoeuvring around open doors. Cabinets can be positioned in narrower spaces where conventional swing doors would obstruct access or create safety hazards. The streamlined appearance when open enhances your workshop's professional image.

The mechanism uses precision-engineered guides and quality hardware, ensuring reliable operation throughout the cabinet's working life.

Part of the DEA WorkLab Modular System

This double-door cabinet integrates seamlessly with DEA's comprehensive modular furniture range. Position it alongside drawer units, single-door cabinets, trolleys, and workbenches to create a complete, cohesive workspace tailored to your specific requirements.

The modular approach provides flexibility as your workshop evolves. Start with the essentials and expand your furniture system as needs change—all modules are designed to work together, both aesthetically and functionally.

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

Built to Professional Standards

DEA's vertical integration—designing and manufacturing every component in-house at their Italian facility—ensures consistent quality throughout. From the precision-cut steel panels to the powder-coated finish, every element meets the exacting standards that have earned DEA partnerships with leading automotive manufacturers.

The fully welded construction eliminates the weaknesses inherent in bolt-together alternatives. Joints are permanently secured, creating a rigid monocoque structure that withstands the rigours of workshop use without loosening or developing rattles.

Adjustable hinges enable precise door alignment during installation and allow for fine-tuning throughout the cabinet's service life. The key-operated lock secures both doors simultaneously, protecting valuable contents while maintaining convenient access for authorised personnel.

Why Choose the 1.5 Module Width?

The one and a half module width addresses a common workshop planning challenge: the need for more storage than a single-door cabinet provides, without committing the space required for a full two-module unit.

At 50% wider than a single module but 25% narrower than a double, this cabinet occupies a practical middle ground. It's ideal for positions where space is constrained but storage requirements exceed what smaller units can accommodate—end-of-run positions, alcoves, or alongside other furniture where dimensions are predetermined.

The additional width also provides a more generous worktop surface when topped with a DEA worktop, creating a useful preparation or staging area above the cabinet storage.

Italian Quality You Can Trust

DEA Italian Worklab has furnished workshops for the world's most demanding clients—from Ferrari service centres to dealerships and fleet operations across Europe. This heritage of excellence is evident in every detail of the double-door cabinet, from the welded steel frame to the chrome-plated handles.

Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification, every cabinet meets the consistent standards that professional workshops require.
