Compartment Cabinets for Open Sorting and Storage

Compartment cabinets divide the interior into many equally sized compartments, either open or closed with doors. They are ideal for sorting, distributing and temporarily storing small parts, forms, mail or personal equipment that is used often and needs to stay within reach. Unlike locker cabinets, where each compartment can be locked individually, compartment cabinets are mainly about clear organisation, not personal security. Built as a pocket rack, they can also hold larger containers or binders. Compartment cabinets belong to Cabinets and Storage in the workplace.

What to consider when choosing

• Number of compartments: finer divisions improve sorting but leave less room per compartment.
• With or without doors: doors keep out dust, open compartments allow faster access.
• Material: powder coated or galvanised steel for long service life.
• Location: a mailroom, workshop, warehouse or office each place different demands on compartment size and access.

For personal belongings with an individual lock, locker cabinets are the better choice, while office cabinets suit general office storage.
