An assortment cabinet is a storage unit with multiple compartments, drawers, or trays designed to organize and provide easy access to a variety of small items such as fasteners, hardware, tools, and other components. These cabinets are commonly used in automotive repair shops, manufacturing facilities, workshops, and even homes to keep small parts organized and readily available.
While specific manufacturers vary, several companies produce assortment cabinets including Dynamic, Durham Manufacturing, US Bolt Kits, Parts Ark, and Carl Manufacturing. Key features often include multiple drawers or compartments, adjustable dividers, heavy-duty construction (typically steel or durable plastic), and sometimes mobility options like casters. Some cabinets also offer locking mechanisms for added security. A notable feature in some designs is the ability for drawers to slide out, allowing full access to the contents.
The price range for assortment cabinets can vary significantly based on size, material, features, and the number of included parts. Smaller cabinets or drawer assortments can be found for around $200 to $500, while larger, more comprehensive units with a wide variety of parts can range from $3,000 to upwards of $4,000. Availability is generally good, with many models available through online retailers like eBay, and industrial supply stores.
