When it comes to functionality, durability, and long-term value, steel cabinetry stands out as the go-to solution for industrial and commercial environments. From change rooms in manufacturing facilities to staff rooms in commercial properties, steel cabinets offer unmatched strength, hygiene, and organization that other materials simply can’t match.
At Renovate Right Now, we specialize in providing, supplying, and installing top-grade steel cabinetry systems tailored for the rigorous demands of professional spaces.
Why Steel Cabinetry Is the Superior Choice
In high-traffic, heavy-use environments like factories, warehouses, healthcare settings, or employee break rooms, cabinetry must do more than store items—it must endure. Here's why steel cabinetry is the preferred choice:
Durability: Steel withstands impact, moisture, chemicals, and wear better than wood or laminate
Security: Lockable steel doors protect tools, equipment, uniforms, or confidential materials
Low Maintenance: Non-porous surfaces are easy to clean and sanitize
Fire Resistance: Offers superior protection in fire-risk environments
Longevity: Outlasts traditional cabinetry by decades with minimal upkeep
Commercial Applications: Elevating Professional Spaces
Steel cabinetry isn’t just for factories—it adds function and form across a range of industries. Here’s how various sectors benefit from it:
1. Manufacturing & Industrial Plants
Steel cabinets support tool storage, PPE organization, and spare part inventory. With custom-fit designs, they optimize floor space while resisting corrosion from chemicals and oils common in industrial settings.
2. Healthcare & Laboratories
In environments where hygiene is critical, steel is the ideal material. It’s easy to disinfect and resists bacteria and mold growth. Renovate Right Now installs stainless steel cabinets that meet medical-grade standards.
3. Warehouses & Distribution Centers
Need secure storage for employee belongings or high-value inventory? Steel lockers and shelving solutions are perfect for housing sensitive items under lock and key.
4. Educational Institutions
Steel cabinetry helps schools manage supplies, science lab equipment, cleaning products, and even musical instruments in a secure, durable way.
5. Retail & Hospitality
From backroom organization to staff-only areas, steel cabinets offer clean lines and a modern, professional appearance without compromising functionality.
Steel Cabinetry for Change Rooms and Locker Rooms
Secure and Professional Staff Storage
In commercial and industrial facilities, change rooms are more than just transitional spaces—they represent your organization’s attention to detail, safety, and care for staff. Steel lockers and cabinets offer:
Lockable personal storage
Integrated benches or shelves
Ventilation for uniforms or gear
Rust-resistant coatings for wet areas
At Renovate Right Now, we design and install locker systems customized to fit your employee capacity, spatial constraints, and operational needs.
Hygienic and Durable Solutions
Unlike wood, steel does not absorb moisture, odors, or bacteria. This makes it ideal for:
Food processing plants
Hospitals
Gyms or fitness centers
Cold storage facilities
We use powder-coated or stainless steel to prevent rust in humid or wet environments.
Steel Cabinetry for Staff Rooms and Break Rooms

Break rooms should be comfortable but practical. Steel cabinetry in these spaces provides:
