Unboxing the Weather Guard Three-Drawer Cabinet: Add Secure Lockable Drawers to Your Van Shelving

What the Weather Guard three-drawer cabinet Does

The Weather Guard three-drawer cabinet (part number 903-3-01) is a fully assembled locking drawer unit that mounts directly into a section of Weather Guard's adjustable van shelving. If you want dedicated drawer storage alongside your open shelves - a place to organize smaller tools, fasteners, or supplies that need to stay put and stay out of sight - this is how you add it to the build. It is not a standalone unit; it inserts into one of the shelf sections and is secured in place with the included hardware.

What's in the Box

The Weather Guard three-drawer cabinet ships fully assembled and covered in protective plastic wrap to prevent scratches during shipping. Out of the box it is a complete, ready-to-mount unit. The hardware bag inside includes four longer screws, four shorter screws, four spacers, and a few nuts. The spacers and two screw lengths let you accommodate different shelf lip configurations - depending on how your shelf is oriented, the lip at the top or bottom of the shelf opening will require one set or the other for a stable, wobble-free fit.

A printed installation guide covering Weather Guard's accessories and cabinet inserts is included in the box. Two keys are taped to the top of the cabinet itself. The lock cylinder on the cabinet also has the RH01 key code stamped directly on it, so if you lose your keys you can reference it for a replacement without digging up the original packaging.

Key Features and Build Quality

A few things worth noting about the Weather Guard three-drawer cabinet:

• The cabinet ships locked from the factory. Use the keys taped to the top before you try to pull a drawer open.
• Each drawer has a latch mechanism that holds it closed while driving. You pull the latch to open the drawer - it will not slide out on its own from road vibration.
• The drawer slides are high quality and feel substantial. This is not a lightweight drawer system.
• The sides of the cabinet are fully enclosed panels, so the unit looks clean and finished from any angle.
• Mounting screw locations are pre-drilled on both the top and bottom of the cabinet, with threaded inserts on the bottom for bolt access from underneath.
• Weather Guard backs this with a lifetime warranty.

The three-drawer cabinet does not span the full width of a standard adjustable shelf section. That leaves room alongside it for a bin, a second drawer unit, or whatever other accessory fits your setup. You are not locked into filling the remaining space in any particular way.

Installation Notes

The Weather Guard three-drawer cabinet installs into the shelving unit after the shelf is already in the van. You will need the Weather Guard adjustable van shelving as the base - this cabinet does not mount to the van floor or walls on its own, it sits within a shelf section. The spacers in the hardware bag are specifically for clearing the shelf lip so the cabinet sits flush and does not rock. Install the cabinet after the shelving is in place and secure before adding anything to the drawers.
