FAQ

Common Questions

Tell us the rating your spec calls for, and we will confirm what we can build before you commit. We build enclosures to your drawings, so the drawing controls the gasketing, seams, and hardware.

Send the drawing and we will tell you whether we can build it.

Overall dimensions, material and thickness, cutouts for connectors and displays, hardware such as PEM studs and standoffs, door and hinge details, and the finish. If you only have the components that need to fit inside, send those dimensions and we draw the enclosure around them.

Yes. PEM nuts, studs, and standoffs are pressed in after forming, panels are welded or riveted as the drawing calls for, and the enclosure is powder coated in house. It leaves as one finished unit from one shop, checked against the drawing.
