The original 14.5" W x 21" H x 4" D cabinet has an over-all white powder coat of tough enamel on heavy gauge galvanized steel that provides optimum durability against scratches and corrosion. This cabinet has a removable hinged door that can be placed for left or right opening with a key-lock for security. Also, it extends out to conceal the rough edges of sheetrock openings.

The new 14.5" W x 28" H x 4" D cabinet is heavy gauge galvanized steel that has a white screw on, non-hinged door with lock.

Both cabinets accommodate any combination of In House Media Panels. They mount between standard wall studs and are recessed to be flush with the wall surface.
