Metal Garage Storage Cabinet – 71 Inch Lockable Cabinet with Wheels and Pegboard Doors
This metal garage storage cabinet is a tall, black, two-door steel cabinet on four castors, with three adjustable shelves, a key lock and pegboard panels on the inside of both doors. It stands 70.87 inches high including the wheels, 31.5 inches wide and 15.75 inches deep. Easy Life Markets sells it in black.
A closed cabinet does something open shelving cannot: it keeps dust off, hides the clutter and can be locked. That makes it the right choice for tools, paints, chemicals and anything you would rather children could not reach. This one adds two useful touches. The insides of the doors are perforated, so hand tools hang where you can see them the moment the doors open, and the cabinet rolls, so you can pull it out to sweep behind or move it to where the job is.
What Is in the Box
The supplier does not give a parts list. The photos show the cabinet with two keys, three shelves and four castors, and state that installation instructions and installation videos are provided. It arrives flat-packed in a carton measuring 70.47 × 19.69 × 8.27 inches and weighing 96.52 lb (43.8 kg). That is a two-person lift.

A Straight Answer on the Details
- Load limits. The supplier calls the cabinet heavy duty and gives no figure for the shelves or the cabinet as a whole. Without a number, load it sensibly: heavy items on the floor of the cabinet and the lowest shelf, lighter ones above.
- Dimension labels. The supplier's text lists 70.87 inches as "length", 31.5 as "width" and 15.75 as "height". The dimension photo makes clear that 70.87 inches is the height, 31.5 the width and 15.75 the depth, which is how we have shown them.
- Brakes. The close-up photo shows a castor with a lever of the kind used for a brake. The supplier does not state how many castors lock. Check this on arrival, and chock the cabinet on a sloping floor.
- The lock. It is a simple cam lock that keeps doors shut and casual hands out. It is not a security cabinet and is not rated for firearms, cash or hazardous goods.
- Assembly time. A supplier photo says 30 minutes. For a full-height steel cabinet we would allow longer, with two people.
- Not stated: Steel thickness, load limits, finish type, hook size for the pegboard and whether hooks are included. The hooks and tools in the photos are props.
About the Pegboard Doors
Pegboard is the common name for a panel pierced with a regular grid of holes that takes hooks and brackets. The original material is perforated hardboard, and the same idea is now made in steel, as on these doors. It is the quickest way to store hand tools: each one has a visible place, and a gap shows at once when something has not been put back. Measure the hole size and spacing when the cabinet arrives before buying hooks, as the supplier does not state them.
Where to Use It
- Garage or workshop: Power tools, hand tools, fixings and car care products.
- Utility room or basement: Cleaning chemicals, paint and decorating kit behind a lock.
- Office or school: Files, stationery and equipment.
- Shop or studio: Stock and supplies that need to stay clean.
Allow a floor space of 80 × 40 cm and about 40 cm in front for each door to swing. Check the 180 cm height against low ceilings, pipes and garage door tracks.
Safety
- A tall cabinet on wheels can tip if moved carelessly. Push it low down, with the doors shut and locked, and never pull it towards you by the top.
- Do not move it fully loaded over thresholds or rough ground. Empty the upper shelves first.
- Do not let children climb on the shelves or ride on the cabinet.
- Store flammable liquids according to the instructions on their labels.
Care
- Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
- Touch up scratches to stop rust starting on bare steel.
- Stand leaking containers in a tray.
- Clear grit and thread from the castors when they start to drag.
- Keep the spare key somewhere other than inside the cabinet.
Who It Suits
Home mechanics, DIYers, schools and small workshops that want lockable, dust-free storage they can roll out of the way.
