It is a good idea to make sure to get the cabinets which are strong and reliable enough to store the equipment and household stuff your family needs to keep in the garage. You should always consider installing cabinets with shelves that are capable of storing heavy items as well as the small stuff, even though you might not have anything that heavy at the moment, it is a good bet you will soon. Properly installing the right garage cabinets for you and your family is as convenient as keeping your kitchen organized with the use of kitchen cabinets. With everything neat, tidy and in order, it also enables you to park your car inside, comfortably for a change. Staying dry and warm in cold and wet weather is its own reward!
If the cabinets are to carry heavy loads be sure to utilize dovetail joinery as it is the strongest way to construct wood cabinets. Cam lock systems can be used for medium duty storage, with simple nailed or screwed designs left for only light duty storage. Wood cabinets can also come as free standing, rolling or hanging. When hanging cabinets on a wall, again be sure to utilize a hanging method appropriate for its intended use. For heavy duty cabinets the hanging method should be capable of supporting at least 250-300 lbs. Check with the manufacturer to insure their hanging system meets your needs. Prices vary for wood cabinets based on size and all the above design criteria but can be very affordable.
You can mount garage cabinet on the wall or it can sit on the floor. The wall mounting is probably what you would prefer. It is up off the floor giving you more space. Setting cabinets on the floor exposes them to moisture. This is a real problem if your cabinets are made from wood. Wall mount cabinets also keep the contents of the unit out of reach to most little critters like mice.
However, this durability of cabinets made from regular wood pales in front of the durability offered by metal cabinets. When compared to metal cabinets, wooden cabinets are usually cheaper. But this is because wood needs to be maintained. Water, termites, and even chipping due to regular usage can easily damage these cabinets. The next option is the garage cabinet made of plywood. Plywood cabinets offer two advantages; they are cheaper than both metal and wooden cabinets made from regular wood, and they look elegant just like the wooden cabinet. But this affordability and aesthetic appeal comes at a price.
In these garage storage cabinets, you can select the material to be used according to the usage of the unit. For heavy things, a tough particle board is required. You can also select the final finish, color and texture that go well with your garage`s paint and other accessories. The companies which provide services for custom garage cabinets provide free C.A.D. designing and estimate service, as well. Thus you can get things done within your budget and according to your requirement. Even after installation, maintenance service is provided and most of these are covered by a few years of warranty.
