Hazardous Materials Cabinet¶
The hazardous materials cabinet is a single module for the OpenDeskLab. It is very similar to the Single Cabinet module, but it is made of plywood and it includes a back panel that protects it’s contents. The shelves have a front cover that prevents accidents from spillage.
The sides of the frame can be used to mount the door either as right swing or as left swing, with no modifications on the frame or the door itself. The hinges are standardized and all the holes can be predrilled in the CNC mill of the plywood supplier.
Warning
The Hazardous Materials Cabinet is not fireproof. This cabinet is designed to keep flames away from your flammables for 10 minutes so you have time to escape a fire.
Important
- Tools Needed:
- Pozidriv Screwdriver
- Electric Screwdriver for the four metal legs
- Paint Brush
Assembly Procedure¶
The hazardous materials cabinet must be carefully assembled to provide the required protection. After the carefull assembly of the cabinet, before connecting the door, the silicone caulk must be used to provide an airtight seal when closed. The hinges used for this cabinet should be self-closing.
This cabinet is the only one that must be painted, using a special fire-retardant paint. You should paint the panels before assembling them together, since after the assembly it can be very difficult to paint everything evenly.
First you assemble the side panels
Then you assemble the door
And you combine them all together
