Interesting Evaluation Of Metal Storage Cabinets

Posted by ValueTech on March 5th, 2020

Metal storage cabinets or file cabinets need not be just for file folders and paperwork. These can also be used as creative management and storage solutions. So, cash on that look and feel modern or art deco.  

Keep reading the old metal file cabinet in your build for some unique ways.

You can instantly give your metal storage cabinets a new, fresh look with metal or auto paint. The appeal of auto paint is that it's designed for use on metal and comes in a wide variety of colors.

Whether you want to use stencils, tape to create a geometric design or a basic solid color, you can instantly style your cabinets to fit your decor.

Begin your painting project by washing down the cabinets to get rid of any grease or dust, as both can stop sticking or smooth environment.

When cleaned, cut or cover the handles to prevent painting them. You're coloring now. Apply even layers downward, allowing the paint to dry between layers. Ideally, you want to apply at least three coats for a professional finish.

Sewing or Crafts Storage Solution Just because it's called a file cabinet, it doesn't mean house files. Alternatively, use that spacious storage space to create a custom organizer for your hobby supplies. Begin your project by dividing your supplies into categories including paints, brushes, samples and sketchbooks.

Then, mark each drawer with a label and fill it accordingly. For versatility and space, attach castor wheels to the bottom so you can quickly travel in and out of the closet.

Older file cabinets usually featured large drawers that are at least 12 inches deep, if not more. And since vinyl records (remember?) are typically around 12 inches with their cover, they fit perfectly inside.

Another benefit? Safe from dust and moisture, storing your records in a drawer. While nothing short of an airtight container will protect them completely, it's better than storing them in an old milk crate.

To avoid drawer sliders from cracking under the weight pressure, try placing no more than 30 records in each drawer. Additionally, limiting the number of records in each of your metal storage cabinets will make searching easier as you have more space to browse through your collection.
