Q: Are self-latching doors important on safety cabinets?

A: Yes. Not only do self-latching doors make door operation smooth and easy, they also ensure the 3-point latching mechanism is automatically properly engaged. This is critical because an unlatched safety cabinet leaves the flammable contents exposed to a potential fire, where every second of protection counts. It is necessary that the 3-point latching system be engaged if the cabinet is to perform according to NFPA, OSHA, and FM expectations in a fire.

Q: Do you offer your steel safety cans and cabinets in different colors?

A: Yes. Cans are available in red, blue, yellow and green. Cabinets are offered in yellow, red, blue, green, white and gray. Not all of this may be currently found on our site, but a customer service representative can quickly assist you.


Q: Do your products comply with OSHA regulations?

A: Yes. All Justrite equipment is designed to meet applicable regulations and standards, including OSHA, EPA, DOT and NFPA. Where third party test standards exist, most products have also been tested by Factory Mutual Research (FM) and Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Each individual cabinet on this website is marked with the approvals relevant to it. More details on the regulations process.


Q: How do I ventilate the cabinets?

A: Unfortunately, we cannot make recommendations on vent procedures. Because jurisdictions and regulations vary widely, your local fire marshal or company safety officer should be contacted.


Q: With so many cabinets from which to choose, how do I pick the cabinet that's right for me?

A: Several factors should be taken under consideration, such as:

  • Type of chemical being stored, compatibility issues
  • Type of container being stored
  • Capacity needed
  • Compliance and regulatory requirements
  • Independent, third party testing
  • Door-closure style and handle style preferences
  • Quality & fire protection factors, longevity and warranty
  • Ease of Use (such as easy close, self-latching doors and hidden self-closing mechanisms for obstruction-free access to shelf contents)
