Custom OEM supply to your drawings
REALJET provides custom metal cabinet assemblies to your drawings for OEM and contract manufacturing orders. We review overall envelope, shelves or plates and door hardware before confirming the custom manufacturing scope. The manufacturing definition starts with the part's function, its installation space and the components it connects to. We review the requested geometry and delivery condition against those interfaces before defining the supply scope.
For this application, the drawing review focuses on overall envelope, shelves or plates and door hardware. Confirm fitted hardware and delivery condition so a shell-only quote is not confused with a complete cabinet. A photograph provides a configuration example; your approved documentation defines the material, dimensions, performance requirements and acceptance criteria for the ordered component.
Application fit
Overall envelope, shelves or plates and door hardware are reviewed against the equipment arrangement.
Material selection
Review buyer-selected steel, stainless steel or aluminum against the design, process route and required delivery condition.
Acceptance focus
Confirm fitted hardware and delivery condition so a shell-only quote is not confused with a complete cabinet.
Project specification and quotation inputs
| Item | Information to confirm |
|---|---|
| Component / service | Custom Metal Cabinet Assemblies |
| Material options | Buyer-selected steel, stainless steel or aluminum |
| Geometry and interfaces | Overall envelope, shelves or plates and door hardware |
| Production scope | Cabinet fabrication with agreed secondary operations |
| Inspection focus | Door clearances, hardware positions and mounting references |
| Quantity | Prototype, pilot batch or repeat order quantity for review |
| Supply condition | Loose component, part set or assembly as specified |
| Delivery | Schedule, destination and packing confirmed with the quotation |
Working size, thickness, tolerances and lead time depend on the approved design, material, quantity and inspection scope. Identify critical features and the applicable measurement conditions on the drawing so the quotation can confirm a practical acceptance basis.
What is sheet metal fabrication for this application?
A sheet-metal cabinet combines an outer shell with doors, removable panels and internal mounting features. Panel interfaces, hardware and installation access need to be considered as one assembly before detailed parts are released.
For this product, the process is applied to supply cabinet shells with the selected doors, panels and internal supports. The particular review priorities are overall envelope, shelves or plates and door hardware; those details connect the manufacturing steps to the equipment's assembly requirements.
REALJET manufacturing advantages for this application
Review before release
The drawing revision, component function and mating interfaces establish a shared manufacturing reference before production begins.
Process matched to the part
The cabinet arrangement establishes service access, mounting-plate position and the relationship between doors and seals before fabrication begins.
Clear acceptance points
Inspection scope focuses on door clearances, hardware positions and mounting references, together with the critical characteristics identified by the buyer.
Controlled repeat supply
Approved samples, material choices and drawing changes are recorded against the part number so subsequent orders can refer to the same release condition.
Fabrication technology and production sequence
- Confirm the equipment envelope and access arrangement.
- Cut and form body panels and doors.
- Join the shell and fit mounting details.
- Apply the finish and install agreed hardware.
- Verify panel fit, door operation and final dimensions.
The final route is selected during technical review. Additional operations, purchased fittings and testing are included only where agreed in the order scope. Include the cabinet layout and the equipment installation arrangement, identifying which accessories are in scope.
Materials, finish and delivered condition
Material selection for custom metal cabinet assemblies can include buyer-selected steel, stainless steel or aluminum. The choice must reflect the actual application, rather than relying on the appearance or colour of the example image.
Review coating, plating or a bare-metal finish against the specified material and environment. Identify appearance zones, threads, grounding contacts and fitted surfaces before defining masking and finishing requirements.
Inspection and quality documentation
Confirm fitted hardware and delivery condition so a shell-only quote is not confused with a complete cabinet. The inspection plan should address door clearances, hardware positions and mounting references, with critical dimensions and test methods identified before production release.
Agree whether the order requires material identification records, dimensional reports, sample approval or additional tests. Any specified certification, qualification or compliance evidence is reviewed for the actual supply scope before order acceptance. Packaging should protect finished surfaces and the geometric features used to install the part.

Questions about custom metal cabinet assemblies
What should I show on the drawing?
Identify overall envelope, shelves or plates and door hardware, together with the part number, revision and mating references. Provide a dimensioned PDF and available STEP, DXF or DWG files as appropriate to the component. Include the cabinet layout and the equipment installation arrangement, identifying which accessories are in scope.
Which material and finish should I request?
Start with buyer-selected steel, stainless steel or aluminum. Describe the operating environment and identify any functional or visible surfaces. The material, manufacturing route and finish are reviewed together before the quotation is finalized.
What needs particular attention on this project?
Confirm fitted hardware and delivery condition so a shell-only quote is not confused with a complete cabinet. State the acceptance method for any critical characteristic, and confirm whether the order includes only the component or additional hardware and assembly operations.
Can I order an initial sample before repeat production?
A prototype or pilot batch can be reviewed against the design and requested quantity. Agree sample acceptance, any required test evidence and the revision to be used for the subsequent order. Lead time is confirmed after the scope and material availability are checked.
