| Flammable Safety Cabinet FAQ |
|
| Q1：Are all Yakos65 safety cabinets need to have self-latching mechanism? |
| |
A1： |
YES. According to NFPA, OSHA, and FM expectations, it is necessary to have the 3-point self-latching system. The self-latching system also makes door operation much smoother and easy. This is critical because an unlatched safety cabinet leaves the flammable contents exposed to a potential fire and may lead to much bigger fire.

All Yakos65 safety cabinets are Self-Latching.
The standard door model has a full piano hinge that will latch when door(s) are shut.
The sliding door model has a spring-loaded hydraulic controlled closer to employ OSHA, 8 second Pinch-Point Regulation. Each sliding door cabinet comes with a fusible link to hold the door open during cabinet use. Fusible link will melt at 165° for automatic closure in case of fire.

When the doors won’t completely close is because the cabinet isn’t leveled. Use the leveling legs that are located on the bottom 4 corners of the cabinet and adjust them until the doors are aligned.
