Industrial Module with Door and Drawer | DEA WorkLab | Hall Fast

Combine the best of both storage worlds with the DEA WorkLab Industrial Module featuring a hinged door cupboard section and a fully-extending drawer. This intelligently designed cabinet provides versatile storage options within a single compact module, offering the flexibility to organise both larger items behind the door and frequently-accessed tools and components in the convenient drawer.

Manufactured entirely in Italy by DEA, Europe's leading workshop furniture specialist, this module exemplifies the thoughtful engineering and premium build quality that has made DEA the preferred choice for prestige automotive manufacturers and demanding industrial operations worldwide.

The drawer operates on DEA's exclusive DEAmotion guide system, featuring ball-bearing runners with integrated soft-close technology. This premium mechanism ensures smooth, quiet operation every time—the drawer glides effortlessly when pulled and decelerates gently in the final centimetres to close silently without slamming. With a 30kg load capacity even when fully extended, the drawer handles substantial tool collections and heavy components with ease.

The hinged door section provides generous cupboard storage above or below the drawer, protected by a key-operated lock that secures both the door and drawer with a single action. The double-skin door construction creates a rigid, rattle-free panel, while adjustable hinges enable precise alignment for a perfect fit and smooth operation throughout the product's working life.

Heavy-gauge steel construction with fully welded joints creates the rigid framework essential for daily workshop demands. The signature anthracite grey polyester powder coating provides comprehensive protection against workshop chemicals, oils, and mechanical wear while coordinating perfectly with all DEA WorkLab modules.

Two Storage Types, One Module

Workshop storage requirements rarely fall into a single category. Some items suit drawer storage—small tools, fasteners, components that benefit from organised compartmentalisation. Others demand cupboard space—taller items, spray cans, bulky equipment, items used less frequently that benefit from door-protected storage.

Traditional approaches require separate cabinets for each storage type. The Industrial Module with Door and Drawer combines both in a single unit:

Drawer Storage: The fully-extending drawer brings tools and components to you. The DEAmotion guide system provides exceptionally smooth operation, while full extension ensures complete visibility of contents. Drawer organisers and dividers (available separately) enable systematic arrangement of tools and parts.

Cupboard Storage: The door section accommodates items that don't suit drawer storage. Adjustable internal shelving allows you to configure the space according to your requirements—position shelves to suit the items being stored, or remove them entirely for maximum height clearance.

Combined Security: A single key-operated lock secures both compartments, simplifying security management while protecting valuable tools and supplies.

The DEAmotion Advantage

The drawer in this module operates on DEA's exclusive DEAmotion guide system—a premium mechanism that transforms drawer operation from a functional necessity into a quality experience:

Ball-Bearing Runners: Precision ball-bearing guides provide exceptionally smooth operation with minimal friction. The drawer glides open and closed with fingertip pressure, even when fully loaded.

Full Extension: The drawer extends completely from the cabinet body, bringing every item within easy reach. No more searching through shadowed recesses or forgotten contents at the back of the drawer.

30kg Load Capacity: The robust runner mechanism supports substantial weight even when fully extended. Heavy tool collections and dense components are handled with confidence.

Integrated Soft-Close: The signature DEAmotion feature—integrated damping decelerates the drawer in its final centimetres of travel, guiding it gently and silently to the closed position. No slamming, no noise, no impact that could disturb organised contents.

Durability: Industrial-grade construction ensures the mechanism maintains its smooth operation throughout years of demanding workshop use.

Perfect for Storing

In the Drawer:

• Hand tools and socket sets
• Diagnostic connectors and adaptors
• Fasteners and small components
• Measuring instruments and gauges
• Electrical tools and testers
• Service kit components
• Vehicle-specific tool sets
• Precision instruments requiring protection

Behind the Door:

• Spray cans and aerosols
• Lubricants and fluids
• Cleaning products and supplies
• Safety equipment and PPE
• Technical documentation and manuals
• Power tool batteries and chargers
• Taller items and equipment
• Less frequently accessed supplies

Organised Efficiency

The combination of drawer and cupboard storage supports efficient workflow organisation:

Workflow Optimisation: Position frequently-used tools in the quick-access drawer while storing less regularly needed items behind the door. This natural separation supports faster retrieval of everyday items while keeping occasional-use supplies accessible but out of the way.

Categorised Storage: Use the drawer for one category of items (hand tools, for example) and the cupboard for another (consumables, documentation, safety equipment). This logical separation makes finding items intuitive and maintains organisation over time.

Height Utilisation: The vertical arrangement of drawer and cupboard maximises storage capacity within a single-module footprint. Where floor space is at a premium, this combination provides more storage than a drawer-only or cupboard-only module of the same dimensions.

Part of the DEA WorkLab Modular System

This cabinet integrates seamlessly with DEA's comprehensive modular furniture range. Position it within workstation runs, combine with other drawer units and cabinet modules, or configure as part of larger storage systems. The consistent anthracite grey finish coordinates with all DEA WorkLab products for cohesive workshop installations.

The modular approach enables workshop configurations to evolve with changing requirements. Add modules as storage needs grow, reconfigure layouts when workflows change, or relocate entire workstations when operations are restructured.

Built to DEA Standards

Every aspect of this module reflects DEA's commitment to premium quality:

Welded Construction: Fully welded steel frame creates a rigid, durable structure that maintains alignment throughout the product's working life. No bolted-together assemblies that can loosen over time.

Double-Skin Door: Two metal sheets bonded together create a door panel of enhanced rigidity that resists denting, eliminates rattling, and maintains its appearance throughout years of use.

Premium Hardware: DEAmotion drawer guides, chrome-plated extruded aluminium handles, robust lock mechanisms, and heavy-duty hinges ensure lasting performance.

Professional Finish: Electrostatically applied polyester powder coating creates a smooth, hard-wearing surface that resists chemicals and mechanical wear.

Professional Finish

The anthracite grey finish provides a sophisticated appearance that enhances any workshop environment. The professional aesthetic projects quality and competence to customers while creating a working environment that staff can take pride in.

The powder-coated surface is easy to clean—simply wipe down with appropriate workshop cleaners to maintain its appearance. Unlike painted finishes that can chip or peel, the powder coating maintains its integrity throughout years of demanding use.

The ball-bearing runners provide smooth operation under load, while the robust construction ensures lasting performance throughout years of demanding workshop use.

Q: Does the soft-close mechanism work on both the drawer and door? A: The DEAmotion soft-close system is integrated into the drawer guides, providing silent, controlled closing every time. The door features adjustable hinges for precise alignment but uses a conventional hinge mechanism. Both compartments are secured by a single key-operated lock.

Q: How does the single lock secure both compartments? A: The key-operated lock mechanism secures both the door and drawer with a single action. When locked, neither the door nor the drawer can be opened, protecting the contents of both compartments. This simplifies security management while providing comprehensive protection.

Q: Can this module be integrated with other DEA WorkLab products? A: Yes, this module is fully compatible with the DEA WorkLab modular system. It can be positioned alongside other cabinet modules, drawer units, sink modules, and workstation components. The consistent anthracite grey finish coordinates with all DEA products for cohesive workshop installations.
