Weather Guard 2 Drawer Cabinet Unboxing: Secure Lockable Storage for Your Van Shelving

What the Weather Guard 2 Drawer Cabinet Does

The Weather Guard two-drawer cabinet is a locking storage unit designed to mount directly onto Weather Guard's adjustable van shelving system. It gives you two separate lockable drawers for storing small tools, parts, test equipment, or anything you want kept secure and organized on the job.

The Weather Guard two-drawer cabinet ships fully assembled in the locked position to protect the drawers and sliders in transit. The keys are taped to the outside of the cardboard box - check there first before assuming they are missing. The key code is printed on the label on the outside of the box and stamped on the lock cylinder itself, so replacement keys can be ordered at any point if needed.

What's in the Box

The drawers are covered in protective plastic sheeting to prevent scuffs during shipping. Inside the box you will find the mounting hardware needed to attach the cabinet to your shelving, and a generic installation guide that covers all Weather Guard cabinet sizes. It walks you through the general mounting process, and the installation video is accessible via QR code if you want a visual walkthrough.

Mounting to Your Shelving

The Weather Guard two-drawer cabinet is designed to mount directly to Weather Guard's adjustable van shelving. The depth of the unit matches the depth of the shelving, so it sits flush with the shelf face once installed. There are four mounting holes on top of the unit and additional holes on the bottom that line up with pre-drilled locations on the shelving itself.

To access the top mounting holes, you need to remove the upper drawer first. The bottom mounting locations use pre-threaded holes already built into the bottom of the cabinet, so you do not need to fumble with loose nuts from underneath. Spacers included with the cabinet are designed to clear the shelf lips so the unit sits flush with the front face of the shelf. Rubber spacers are also included for sitting on top of the metal shelf dividers, which adds stability and keeps the cabinet from rocking.

Hardware Breakdown

• Serrated head flanged bolts - no lock washers needed, the serration handles vibration resistance
• Smaller serrated bolts for the upper mounting locations
• Serrated lock nuts
• Large spacers for clearing the shelf lip at the bottom
• Rubber spacer seals for resting on top of the shelf metal dividers
• All hardware needed for installation is included

The latching mechanism on the drawers is a deliberate design feature. The drawers latch when closed, which keeps them from sliding out when you take a sharp corner or drive over a rough job site road. Weather Guard also offers a three-drawer version of this cabinet, and the full lineup includes other cabinet sizes and accessories. All Weather Guard products carry a lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my keys are missing when the cabinet arrives?

The keys are taped to the outside top of the cardboard box and can slip off in transit. Check inside the box thoroughly first. If the keys are genuinely missing, contact Upfit Supply for replacements.

Do the drawers lock independently?

Both drawers lock on the same cylinder, so one key locks and unlocks both drawers.

Can I mount this somewhere other than Weather Guard shelving?

The hardware is designed for Weather Guard shelving, but the unit includes mounting holes that could allow installation in a custom location if you have structural backing.

Is the three-drawer version the same size otherwise?

The depth and width are the same - the three-drawer version simply has one additional drawer in the same overall form factor.
