Wholesale PricingThe 508-EL is a surface mounted fire extinguisher cabinet from Safety One Industries' Elite Architectural Series, sized to house a standard 5 lb fire extinguisher. This listing is for the cabinet only. The fire extinguisher itself is not included and is sold separately, so this is the right choice when you already have a 5 lb unit on hand and need a clean, professional housing for it, or when you are outfitting multiple locations and sourcing extinguishers separately from cabinets.
Construction uses 16 gauge cold rolled steel for the front and 22 gauge cold rolled steel for the tub, finished in a baked white enamel coat over rust inhibiting phosphate treated steel for long-term corrosion resistance. The cabinet uses a vertical duo door design with a clear tempered glass insert, letting the extinguisher remain visible for quick identification while still being protected from dust and tampering. A chrome "D" handle with a safety break lock and key secures the door, and a vertical red "Fire Extinguisher" decal makes the cabinet's purpose unmistakable from a distance.
What "Non-Rated" Means for This Cabinet
"Non-Rated" refers to the cabinet's fire-resistance certification status, not its build quality. Safety One offers a separate "Safeguard" line of cabinets that are Warnock-Hersey approved for installation in up to a 2-hour fire-rated wall assembly, meaning those specific cabinets have been tested and certified not to compromise the fire rating of the wall they are recessed into. The 508-EL does not carry that certification, which makes it the appropriate and more economical choice for surface mounting on any standard wall where the wall itself does not need to maintain a fire-resistance rating at the cabinet's location.
- Offices and Commercial Buildings: A clean, professional-looking housing for a 5 lb extinguisher in lobbies, hallways, and common areas where appearance matters alongside function.
- Retail and Hospitality Spaces: The architectural styling and acrylic glazing keep the extinguisher visible and accessible without looking out of place in a customer-facing environment.
- Standard (Non-Fire-Rated) Walls: Suited to any surface mounting location where the wall itself does not carry a fire-resistance rating requirement.
- Multi-Site Rollouts: A practical choice when standardizing extinguisher housing across multiple locations while sourcing extinguishers and cabinets independently.

- Mounting Location: Mount in a visible, unobstructed location consistent with NFPA 10 travel distance requirements for the extinguisher housed inside, typically no more than 75 feet of travel distance from any point in the protected area.
- Surface Mount Only: This cabinet is designed for surface mounting and is not intended for recessed installation into a wall cavity. Safety One's Elite Architectural Series also offers semi-recessed and fully-recessed configurations if a flush-mounted look is needed.
- Fire-Rated Wall Locations: If the cabinet needs to be installed in a wall assembly that must maintain a fire-resistance rating, use a Warnock-Hersey approved Safeguard model rather than this Non-Rated cabinet.
- Routine Inspection: Confirm the door, glass insert, and safety break lock remain intact and unobstructed during the same monthly visual inspection performed on the extinguisher itself.
Does this come with a fire extinguisher?
No. This listing is for the cabinet only. It fits a standard 5 lb fire extinguisher, which must be purchased separately.
What does "Non-Rated" mean, and does it make this cabinet less safe?
It does not affect the cabinet's structural quality or its ability to securely house and protect the extinguisher. It means the cabinet has not been certified for installation in a wall assembly that itself must maintain a fire-resistance rating. For a standard, non-fire-rated wall, that certification is not relevant, and the Non-Rated cabinet is the correct and more economical choice.
Can this be recessed into the wall instead of surface mounted?
The 508-EL specifically is built for surface mounting. If you want a flush, recessed look, Safety One's Elite Architectural Series offers separate semi-recessed and fully-recessed models in the same 5 lb size and vertical duo door style.
