Strong Hold Combination Clear View Storage Cabinet

The Strong Hold Combination Clear View cabinet gives each of its four independently lockable compartments a different door type: the upper two compartments have clear-view doors for visible inventory confirmation, and the lower two compartments have solid steel doors for concealed storage. Every compartment has its own 3-point locking system and padlock hasp.

This combination suits environments where some stored items benefit from visibility -- general supplies, consumables, and standard tooling where quick stock confirmation matters -- while other items belong behind opaque doors: high-value tools, personal items, controlled supplies, or anything where visibility to passersby is not desired. The split between clear and solid doors is fixed by cabinet position (top clear, bottom solid) rather than being user-configurable, so the application should match that layout before ordering.

Models and Specifications:

♦ 46-4DLD-248: 48" wide x 24" deep x 72" high (78" OAH). 4 compartments: upper 2 clear-view, lower 2 solid. 3-point lock and padlock hasp per compartment. 600 pounds per shelf. Cabinet weight: 705 pounds.

♦ 56-4DLD-248: 60" wide x 24" deep x 72" high (78" OAH). 4 compartments: upper 2 clear-view, lower 2 solid. 3-point lock and padlock hasp per compartment. 825 pounds per shelf. Cabinet weight: 813 pounds.

♦ 66-4DLD-248: 72" wide x 24" deep x 72" high (78" OAH). 4 compartments: upper 2 clear-view, lower 2 solid. 3-point lock and padlock hasp per compartment. 765 pounds per shelf. Cabinet weight: 921 pounds.

Selecting the Right Cabinet:

♦ Width and shelf capacity: The 48"-wide model carries 600 pounds per shelf. The 60"-wide model carries 825 pounds per shelf. The 72"-wide model carries 765 pounds per shelf. Note that the 60"-wide model has a higher per-shelf rating than the 72"-wide model; verify with Strong Hold before selecting, as this is an unusual relationship.

♦ Cabinet weight in floor loading: Empty cabinet weights range from 705 pounds (48"-wide) to 921 pounds (72"-wide). Fully loaded, these cabinets can represent significant floor loads. Verify floor load capacity before deploying, particularly on elevated slabs or in older facilities.

♦ Clear-view top, solid bottom: The upper two compartments are visible through clear-view doors; the lower two are behind solid steel. This layout works well when the stored inventory naturally divides by visibility preference: shared consumables, frequently checked stock, or visually managed supplies in the top, and restricted tools, personal items, or controlled supplies in the bottom. If all four compartments need to be visible, the all-clear-view 4-Compartment Clear View cabinet (56-4D-LD-248-CFG series) is the alternative. If no compartments need to be visible, the standard Double Shift or 4-compartment solid-door options are alternatives.

♦ Four independent locks: Each of the four compartments locks separately. Multiple users can each control their own section with their own key, with no shared access between sections. This applies equally to the clear-view and solid-door sections.

♦ Shelf count per compartment: Verify with Strong Hold how many adjustable shelves are included per compartment and add to product descriptions. The 2" adjustment centers allow precise positioning for items of varying heights.

Where Commonly Used:

♦ Multi-User Tool Storage with Mixed Visibility Needs: Four users share a cabinet where two prefer visible storage (for fast tool confirmation and return accountability), and two prefer concealed storage (for personal tools, higher-value items, or supplies they don't want accessible to all). Each section is independently locked regardless of door type.

♦ Tool Cribs with Tiered Access: Shared tooling in the upper clear-view compartments for quick visual confirmation by the crib attendant, and controlled high-value or specialty tooling in the lower solid compartments for restricted access with higher security accountability.

♦ PPE and Controlled Supply Stations: General PPE and visible consumables in the upper compartments for self-service confirmation, and controlled consumables, medications, or regulated supplies in the lower solid compartments with restricted key access.

♦ Maintenance Departments with Shift Separation: Two shifts each with one clear-view and one solid compartment, providing visible general tool storage and concealed personal or specialty tool storage within each shift's assigned section.

♦ Training and Accountability Environments: Trainees or apprentices are assigned upper clear-view compartments for tool accountability visibility (instructors can confirm without unlocking), while instructors or supervisors maintain solid-door compartments for controlled equipment and materials.

♦ Security-Sensitive Storage Adjacent to Common Areas: Cabinets near high-traffic areas, with upper visible sections indicating general supply availability to passersby while the lower solid sections maintain full opacity for sensitive materials, without requiring two separate cabinets for the two access types.
