Product Information
Full details
The Barton Hazardous Substance Cabinet is an essential safety solution for industrial workshops, laboratories, and maintenance facilities tasked with storing flammable liquids, paints, and chemicals. Its primary benefit is the containment and organization of hazardous materials within a robust, compliant steel structure that protects both staff and the workplace. However, users should note that at a total capacity of 250kg, it is strictly intended for secondary storage rather than bulk industrial warehouse staging, requiring careful attention to individual shelf load limits.

FAQs
Does this cabinet meet DSEAR requirements?
Yes, this cabinet is designed to comply with DSEAR, HSG51, and ACoP regulations for the storage of hazardous substances.
Can I remove the bottom sump to gain more space?
No, the sump is integral and non-removable. It is a critical component of the cabinet's safety and containment design.
What is the maximum weight capacity of the cabinet?
The cabinet has a total capacity of 250kg, with a maximum load of 35kg per shelf.
Is the cabinet fireproof?
While constructed from robust steel, this cabinet is designed for substance containment and hazardous material organization, not as a specialized fire-rated safe.
Are replacement keys available?
Please contact the manufacturer or your supplier with the MPN (16438) to inquire about spare key availability.
Troubleshooting
The cabinet doors do not align correctly.
Ensure the cabinet is resting on a completely level floor. Use shims if the surface is uneven to correct door alignment.
Key is difficult to turn in the lock.
Apply a small amount of dry graphite lubricant to the lock cylinder. Avoid using oil-based sprays which can collect dust.
Shelves are difficult to adjust.
Ensure all contents are removed and check for debris in the shelf-mounting tracks. Align the shelf parallel to the floor before sliding into the desired pitch.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Placement: Install the cabinet on a level, solid floor surface to ensure the doors close properly and the locking mechanism functions as intended.
- Loading: Always distribute weight uniformly across the shelves. Do not exceed the 35kg shelf capacity or the 250kg total load limit.
- Compatibility: Ensure all stored chemicals are compatible with one another to prevent reactive hazards within the cabinet.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the door seals and hinges. Wipe down the interior periodically to remove any chemical residue. Clean the base sump immediately if a spill occurs using appropriate absorbent materials consistent with the spilled substance's Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
