Modular Cabinets

How to choose a Vidmar modular cabinet

Vidmar's modular cabinet line is built around four levers: height, width, depth, and drawer layout. The model number tells you the height family. Model 340 (59″, eye-level) is the tool-crib workhorse, maximum drawer count per square foot of floor, common in MRO bays and inspection rooms. Model 245 (44″, counter height) suits standing assembly and shop-stool work, and takes a worksurface on top. Model 175 (33″) and Model 135 (27″) are the bench and workstation heights that pair with Vidmar benching, and Model 200 (37″) splits the difference for under-counter installs.

Width starts at the standard 30″ cabinet, which fits standard aisles and lands in most shops without floor reconfiguration. 45″ extra-wide and 60″ double-wide housings carry the same drawer mechanism with more cubic inches per cabinet, better for large parts, fixtures, or shared crib storage where you want fewer cabinets covering more parts.

Depth is Vidmar's full 27¾″ on the standard line, which swallows almost anything in an aerospace, military depot, or heavy-equipment tool kit; a 21⅜″ shallow-depth extra-wide series exists for tight rooms. Each drawer carries up to 400 lb, the heavy-duty differentiator that buyers in aerospace MRO, government & defense, and automotive plants come to Vidmar for.

Inside the cabinet, drawer dividers and partitions create an X-Y grid that lets you store parts directly in the steel compartments or drop them into removable bins. The configurator builds a valid drawer stack for you, use it if you know what you want to store. If you're outfitting an entire tool room, the layout planner will confirm full-depth cabinets get aisle clearance before you commit to a wall run.

Every drawer cabinet locks. The keying choice on each card works the way it does across SBD's storage brands: Random Group (each cabinet keyed differently at random, fine for single-cabinet buys), Keyed Alike (every cabinet on the order opens with the same key, the default, and what the Quick Ship program stocks), and Master Keyed (individual keys per cabinet plus a master that opens everything, the tool-crib and supervisor answer). Vidmar also offers a non-removable key feature, keypad locks programmable to 25 user codes, and hinge lock bars for mobile and shipboard applications, ask us and we'll spec it.

Every cabinet comes in your choice of 8 standard powder coat colors: Dark Blue, Vidmar Green, Bright Blue, Red, Medium Gray, Vidmar Gray, Olive Drab Green, and Black. Pick the finish on each card, product photos show Dark Blue, the stocked Quick Ship finish. Any other color is made to order at no upcharge. Vidmar's full standard palette (catalog p. 120) and custom colors are available on request, ask us.

Every cabinet on this page is built in Allentown, PA, carries the Vidmar lifetime warranty on the drawer mechanism, and ships freight-free to the contiguous 48. The seven Quick Ship cabinets at the top of the page ship within 10 days in Dark Blue or Vidmar Gray with Keyed-Alike locks; everything else is made to order in approximately 2–3 weeks.
