When ordering garage storage cabinets for your garage, you need to consider some very important factors. Some choices, such as the one we recently purchased, only have a stationary workbench integrated into the design of the cabinets. If you really don't have any other designated working space in your garage or if you're not really one to much of an innovator, this just is a waste of valuable storage space. Garage storage cabinets that also feature a multi purpose make sense only if your garage or workroom is rather small. If it's one of those large spaces that just seems to swallow up every available inch of available floor space in your garage, it makes far more sense to purchase garage storage cabinets that feature shelving or some other multi-purpose feature.
When you're ready to order your garage storage cabinets, it's imperative you select the right size of cabinets for your garage. If they're too big it will just overwhelm the space and if they're too small, it will be difficult to get them out when you need to. We purchased a few storage units with adjustable shelf tops and they turned out to be great for a very tiny garage. The shelves can be expanded or decreased to fit any size storage needs that may arise. The doors are also expandable so that you can always get more room if needed.
After you've ordered your garage cabinets, they are typically delivered directly to your house via a carrier. That means you don't have to do anything but install them. This really isn't a difficult process and most people do it in a single afternoon with the help of a friend or family member. If the weather is bad on any day, such as rain, you may want to take some time off from work to go out and buy some hardware and put the doors up. They usually open easily with a single lever but you may want to call the manufacturer to make sure that the doors will close properly when there is a storm coming. Some manufacturers will offer a lifetime warranty on their doors so you will be better protected in the long run.
If the weather is nice, you might want to go ahead and get a few more garage storage cabinets. We have a few extra ones that we use occasionally when things get cluttered and we need a way to organize our stuffs. It's also good if you plan to store heavy items such as Christmas ornaments and toys because you can simply slide them in a sliding door on top of the cabinet. There is also an option with some cabinets where you can get a special rack to put your tools on. It's great for keeping everything organized. If you get a unit with several drawers, you can set up a filing system so you'll always have room for documents as well as your tools.
Aside from the various styles, materials, colors, and designs, you'll also want to consider the hardware and finish when choosing garage storage cabinets. See if the doors have mentioned hinges for safety. Also, you should get those that are durable and can stand up against even the harshest weather conditions. Those with intricate designs are usually made of strong metal, although there are wooden cabinets that are just as sturdy. Do a little research before you decide so you'll know exactly what kind of doors you're getting. You should also pay attention to the hinges since you want doors with quality hardware so that they'll be easy to open and close.
There are cheap garage storage cabinets that are available online. Just do your homework first and compare prices between different sites. Also, check the quality of the materials used. As long as you take the time to compare price and quality between all your options before you buy, you'll end up with the perfect set of cabinets to help you efficiently store all the things you need in your garage.
