Custom Metal Cabinets
Discover precision-engineered custom metal cabinets designed to maximize space, security, and durability. From prototype to production, our expert team delivers high-quality, fully customizable metal cabinets that perfectly fit your workspace and industry requirements.
Why Our Custom Metal Cabinets Stand Out
At ShincoFab, we understand that when you search for custom metal cabinets, you aren’t just looking for storage, you are hiring a solution to organize your workflow, protect valuable equipment, and maximize limited space. Here is why global industry leaders trust ShincoFab to deliver that solution.
Uncompromising Quality & Precision
Standard cabinets often fail when faced with industrial stress. At ShincoFab, our fabrication process utilizes state-of-the-art laser cutting and robotic welding to create custom metal cabinets that are engineered to endure. We design our units to withstand harsh environments, heavy loads, and daily wear and tear far better than any flimsy off-the-shelf alternative.
This commitment to quality extends to every detail of our manufacturing. We guarantee precision engineering with consistent bends and high-integrity welds, ensuring that doors align perfectly and drawers slide smoothly. By prioritizing structural integrity and strict tolerances, we deliver a level of rugged durability and reliability that maintains professional standards in your workspace.
Material Versatility & Superior Finishes
From hygienic medical settings to rugged machine shops, selecting the right base material is critical for long-term performance. We guide you through our extensive inventory to find the perfect match for your specific application. You can choose Cold Rolled Steel for heavy-duty structural strength, Aluminum for lightweight corrosion resistance, or Stainless Steel (304/316) to ensure strict compliance with medical and food-grade standards.
Beyond the raw metal, our expert finishing services ensure your custom cabinets look professional and withstand the elements. We offer comprehensive in-house treatments, including powder coating in custom colors and textures to align with your brand identity, as well as anodizing and plating services. This attention to surface detail not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but significantly extends the longevity of your cabinets.
Rapid Prototyping to Scalable Production
ShincoFab uniquely bridges the gap between specialized prototype shops and large-scale mass manufacturers. Whether you require a single expedited proof-of-concept to validate your design or a full manufacturing run of server racks, our operations are flexible enough to adapt to your specific volume needs. We support your project lifecycle from the very beginning, offering the capability to handle orders ranging from Quantity 1 up to 5,000+ units.
We understand that time is often your most critical asset. Our streamlined process provides fast quoting and rapid manufacturing lead times to get custom parts on your desk—or your shop floor—sooner. By seamlessly transitioning from initial prototypes to low-volume and mass production runs, we ensure that you receive consistent quality at any scale without the typical production delays.
Expert Design & DFM Support
Don’t worry if you lack a final CAD drawing; our engineering team is ready to act as your strategic partner, not just a vendor. We offer in-depth Design for Manufacturability (DFM) support, actively reviewing your concepts to identify potential challenges before production begins. This proactive approach allows us to suggest design improvements that lower manufacturing costs and ensure efficient, error-free assembly.
We also ensure you maintain full control over every aspect of your custom metal cabinet. You can tailor the specific dimensions and internal architecture to your exact needs, including unique shelving configurations, cable management systems, and hardware integration. Whether selecting specific lock types or special access points, we help refine your design to achieve the perfect balance of function and cost-effectiveness.
Certified Reliability & Rigorous QA
We eliminate the common worry of “will it fit?” by implementing stringent manufacturing SOPs and robust quality control systems throughout our production lines. As your manufacturing partner, ShincoFab strictly adheres to ISO 9001 standards and meets precise industry compliances, such as NEMA and IP ratings, ensuring your project is built to the highest global benchmarks.
This reliability is guaranteed by our use of advanced inspection equipment to verify every dimension and feature. We rigorously test each unit to ensure that every custom metal cabinet leaving our facility meets your exact specifications, arriving flawless and ready for immediate use in your operations.
Types of Metal Cabinets We Can Customize
At ShincoFab, we recognize that a server rack requires a completely different fabrication approach than a heavy-duty tool chest. Our engineering team utilizes versatile sheet metal fabrication techniques to produce a broad spectrum of cabinet types. Whether you need to house sensitive electronics, organize industrial equipment, or display products in a retail setting, we deliver enclosures that are purpose-built for the task at hand.
Industrial Storage & Tool Cabinets
We fabricate heavy-duty storage solutions designed to survive the toughest shop floors. These units are constructed from robust Cold Rolled Steel or Stainless Steel and feature reinforced frames to support high weight capacities. We customize drawer configurations, bin integrations, and locking mechanisms to ensure your expensive tools and parts are organized and secure against theft or damage.
Server Racks & Network Enclosures
Precision is paramount when housing critical IT infrastructure. Our custom server cabinets are built to standard 19-inch rack specifications or fully bespoke dimensions to fit data center constraints. We focus heavily on thermal management, incorporating perforated doors, fan mounts, and strategic cable management knockouts to ensure your equipment remains cool and accessible for maintenance.
Wall-Mount & Utility Cabinets
When floor space is at a premium, our wall-mounted solutions maximize your vertical storage. Ideal for electrical controls, first aid kits, or utility meters, these cabinets can be fabricated with specific NEMA or IP ratings to protect contents from dust and moisture. We ensure mounting points are reinforced for safety and stability, regardless of the wall surface.
Safety & Hazardous Material Cabinets
Compliance and safety are non-negotiable when storing dangerous chemicals or flammables. ShincoFab manufactures double-walled safety cabinets that meet rigorous industry standards (such as OSHA or NFPA requirements). These units often include leak-proof sumps, specialized ventilation vents, and high-visibility powder coating to ensure a safe working environment.
Mobile Carts & Rolling Workstations
Flexibility is vital in dynamic workspaces like hospitals or automotive repair shops. Our mobile cabinets are equipped with heavy-duty industrial casters and ergonomic handles, allowing you to bring tools and equipment directly to the job. We can integrate features such as laptop stands, power strips, and specialized locking breaks to create a fully functional portable workstation.
Kiosks & Display Enclosures
For commercial and public-facing applications, aesthetics matter as much as function. We fabricate sleek, modern enclosures for information kiosks, digital signage, and parcel lockers. Using advanced laser cutting and architectural-grade powder coating, we create cabinets that not only protect the internal hardware but also elevate your brand’s visual presence.
Choose the Perfect Material & Finish for Your Cabinets
Premium Material Selection
Cold Rolled Steel (CRS)
For indoor applications where structural strength and cost-effectiveness are paramount, Cold Rolled Steel is the top choice. It offers excellent durability and a smooth surface ideal for painting. We recommend CRS for server racks, tool cabinets, and general industrial storage where humidity is controlled and load-bearing capacity is the priority.
Stainless Steel (304 & 316)
When hygiene or corrosion resistance cannot be compromised, Stainless Steel is the answer. We fabricate using Grade 304 for standard food service and medical applications, and Grade 316 for extreme resistance in marine or chemical processing environments. These cabinets require no additional coating to remain rust-free and are easy to sanitize.
Aluminum (5052 & 6061)
If your custom cabinet needs to be mounted on a wall or moved frequently as a mobile cart, Aluminum is the superior option. It offers a high strength-to-weight ratio and is naturally resistant to corrosion. It is also non-magnetic, making it an excellent choice for sensitive electronic enclosures that require heat dissipation.
Durable Surface Finishes
Powder Coating
Powder coating is our most popular finish for a reason. It provides a thick, armor-like layer that is more resistant to chipping, scratching, and fading than traditional paint. Available in thousands of RAL colors and various textures, it allows you to brand your cabinets while adding a significant layer of protection against rust and wear.
Anodizing
For aluminum cabinets, anodizing offers a chemical process that hardens the surface and prevents oxidation. This finish maintains the metallic look of the material while increasing its resistance to abrasion. It is ideal for electronic faceplates and architectural enclosures that require a sleek, modern technical aesthetic.
Polishing & Brushing
Primarily used for stainless steel, mechanical polishing (such as a #4 Brushed Finish) creates a uniform, non-reflective surface that hides fingerprints and scratches. For cleanrooms and medical facilities, we can achieve a mirror-polish facilitating the easiest possible cleaning and ensuring strict adherence to sanitation protocols.

Are your cabinets rated for outdoor or harsh industrial environments?
Yes. We fabricate cabinets designed to meet rigorous standards, including NEMA and IP (Ingress Protection) ratings. By using materials like Stainless Steel (316) or Marine-Grade Aluminum combined with weather-proof gaskets and specialized powder coating, we ensure your equipment is protected from dust, moisture, and corrosion.
What is the typical turnaround time for a custom project?
One of our key strengths is speed. Generally, we can deliver prototypes in 3–7 business days. For mass production, lead times typically range from 3–5 weeks, depending on the complexity of the design and the surface finish required.
Do you handle hardware installation (locks, casters, fans)?
Definately. We offer full assembly services. We can integrate high-security electronic locks, heavy-duty industrial casters for mobility, detailed ventilation systems (fans/filters), and polycarbonate windows. Your cabinets can arrive fully equipped and ready for use.
To save on shipping costs, can the cabinets be shipped flat？
This is a standard option for our global clients. We can design your custom cabinets as Knock-Down (Flat-Pack) units. This significantly reduces shipping volume and cost. We ensure the design is intuitive for easy assembly on your end, and we include all necessary hardware. Alternatively, we can ship fully welded and assembled units if structural rigidity is the priority.
