Metal cabinet manufacturer in Bangalore, built to your drawing
Shabari Metal Products is a metal cabinet manufacturer in Bengaluru, fabricating technical storage racks, tool crib housings, server enclosures and stainless medical cabinets to customer drawings since 2006. Cutting, bending, welding, powder coating, assembly and inspection all run in one factory in Singapura, within the wider Abbigere locality. The minimum order is a single prototype, and work scales from there to repeat production batches.

Storage racks, tool crib housings and server enclosures
Cabinet work in this shop is fabricated to customer drawings rather than picked from a catalogue of standard sizes. The services list covers high-capacity technical storage racks, heavy tool crib housings and customizable server enclosures, alongside the stainless medical cabinets and drawer assemblies described below. Because every unit starts from your CAD, dimensions, shelf pitch, door handing, cable entries and mounting patterns are drawing changes, not special orders. Ventilation slots, cable entries and mounting patterns are CNC punched in a single setup for repeatable hole positions, which matters most on a cabinet where the same pattern repeats down the full height of a panel. Send overall dimensions, the load the shelves or rails must carry, and the environment the cabinet will live in, and the engineering desk will settle the construction with you before a price is fixed.

What to specify on a custom server enclosure
General specification guidance for anyone ordering a server or network enclosure, not a published rack standard for this shop. Rack-mount equipment is built around the 19-inch convention: a 482.6mm panel width and a 44.45mm unit pitch. If the enclosure must take standard equipment, state the rail standard and the number of units on the drawing rather than leaving it implied. Decide airflow before sheet metal: front-to-back cooling wants a vented or perforated front, matching exit area at the rear, and blanking of unused positions, or hot air recirculates inside the cabinet. Cable entries want to be sized and placed for the real loom, top or bottom, with grommets wherever a cable crosses a cut edge. On the fabrication side, ventilation slots, cable entries and mounting patterns are CNC punched here in a single setup, so a hole pattern repeated down a full-height panel lands in the same place on every unit in the batch.
The medical cabinet line, and why it matters for industrial cabinets
The clearest evidence of the shop's cabinet work is the medical line, in production and photographed in the catalogue: stainless steel medical equipment cabinets in SS 304 with soft-close drawer runners and radiused corners, medical cabinet drawer assemblies, and medical trolley enclosures. A clinical drawer unit is the hard version of the cabinet problem. A drawer that runs true on soft-close runners depends on the carcase being square and the runner mounting holes landing in the same place on both sides, which is exactly what goes wrong when cutting, folding and assembly are split across shops each reading the drawing on its own. Here the carcase is cut on a fiber laser holding ±0.1mm, folded, welded and assembled under one roof, and a separate in-house QC team runs dimensional inspection on every batch before dispatch. A shop that holds drawer alignment for clinical work holds it for a tool crib, in cheaper material under a powder coat.
Welded or bolted: general cabinet construction guidance
This section is general engineering guidance, not a claim about a particular build. A welded cabinet frame is one rigid piece: it holds squareness for life, has no fasteners to work loose under vibration, and its joints can be dressed invisible under powder coat. Its costs are size and logistics — the finished unit must fit the coating process and the truck, and damage means repair rather than panel replacement. A bolted or knock-down frame ships flat, passes through doorways and stairwells, and lets a damaged panel be swapped, but every joint is a tolerance stack and a squareness check at site assembly, and racking stiffness depends on gussets or a welded sub-frame rather than the bolted joints themselves. In practice, heavy tool cribs and load-bearing racks lean welded; cabinets shipped long distances or installed in finished buildings lean bolted. Either construction can be quoted to a drawing here; MIG, TIG, spot and laser welding run in house, with seams dressed so they survive finishing without rework.
Material and finish for storage cabinets
As general guidance, covered at more length on the sheet metal fabrication page: CRCA with powder coat is the default for indoor storage cabinets and server enclosures. It is the lowest-cost option, forms cleanly, and the coating supplies all the corrosion resistance, so a properly deburred edge before coating decides where rust starts. Zinc plating suits internal brackets, runners and fasteners, where a thick powder film would foul the fit. SS 304 with a brushed finish is the choice for washdown, food-adjacent and clinical positions; the shop's own medical cabinets are built in it. Doors are the visible test of any cabinet: a long unstiffened door in thin sheet oil-cans, so specify gauge and stiffeners against the actual door span rather than by habit. Materials worked in house: CRCA, hot-rolled mild steel, GI, SS 304, SS 316, aluminium alloys and copper sheet, supplied with mill test certificates on request.
Ordering a cabinet, from one prototype up
The commercial terms are the same as the rest of the factory's work. Send DXF, DWG, STEP or PDF; if you only have a sketch or a sample cabinet, we can work from that too and produce the drawing for you. Our engineering desk reviews drawings and responds within 24 business hours. The minimum order is one prototype, and prototype runs are quoted the same way as production orders, so a first article can be built and checked against its real contents before a batch is committed. We supply customers across Bengaluru — including the industrial belts at Peenya, Yeshwanthpur, Bommasandra, Jigani and Nelamangala — Karnataka and the rest of India, and produce export-quality work for overseas shipment. On credentials, plainly: MSME registered, GSTIN 29BKEPS6457E1ZQ, ISO 9001 certification in progress and not yet held. The company has fabricated sheet metal in Bengaluru since 2006 under proprietor Sathish Kumar P.

Common questions
Do you manufacture custom metal cabinets in Bangalore?
Yes. Shabari Metal Products fabricates metal cabinets to customer drawings at its Bengaluru factory: high-capacity technical storage racks, heavy tool crib housings, customizable server enclosures, and stainless steel medical equipment cabinets with drawer assemblies. Cutting, bending, welding, powder coating, assembly and dimensional inspection all run on one site. Send DXF, DWG, STEP or PDF files — or a sketch or sample part — and the engineering desk responds within 24 business hours.
Who are the top cabinet manufacturers in Bangalore?
There is no audited ranking of cabinet manufacturers in Bangalore, so treat any list claiming one with caution. Compare shops on verifiable points instead: which operations run in house versus subcontracted, whether batches are dimensionally inspected before dispatch, the minimum order, and how quickly an engineering query is answered. Shabari Metal Products states its own facts plainly: fabricating in Bengaluru since 2006, cutting through assembly under one roof, a one-prototype minimum, and drawings answered within 24 business hours.
Can you build server racks and enclosures to custom sizes?
Yes. The services list includes customizable server enclosures, built to your drawing rather than a fixed catalogue size. Ventilation slots, cable entries and mounting patterns are CNC punched in a single setup, so a pattern repeated down a full-height panel lands identically on every unit in the batch. Specify the mounting standard, unit count, airflow direction and cable entry positions on the drawing; single prototypes and repeat batches are quoted the same way.
What is the minimum order quantity for a storage cabinet?
One prototype. Shabari Metal Products handles single prototypes through to repeat high-volume contract manufacturing, and prototype runs are quoted the same way as production orders. That lets a first cabinet be built, loaded with its real contents, and revised on the drawing before a batch is committed. Send the drawing to sales@shabarimetals.in or call +91 99453 80273; the engineering desk responds within 24 business hours.
Should a metal cabinet frame be welded or bolted together?
As general engineering guidance: a welded frame is stiffer, stays square for life and hides its joints under powder coat, but it ships assembled and must fit the building's access. A bolted knock-down frame ships flat and assembles on site, at the cost of tolerance stack at every joint and lower racking stiffness unless gusseted. Heavy tool cribs and loaded racks usually justify welding; long-distance shipment favours bolted. Either construction can be quoted to a drawing.
