Metal shelving unit with cabinets Jan Nowak JOHNNY, green, model JOHNNY, shelves with lockable cabinets

Jan Nowak JOHNNY is a green metal shelving unit with integrated lockable cabinets designed for organised storage of tools, supplies and archive boxes. Built from sheet metal with a painted finish, the unit combines open shelving with enclosed compartments that lock, providing both visibility and secure storage for workplace, garage or utility-room environments. The model is practical where durable, space-efficient storage is required and where a combination of easy access and security is needed.

Advantages

The shelving unit offers a robust metal construction that withstands workshop and garage conditions and provides multiple sturdy shelves for heavy or bulk items. Integrated lockable cabinets add an extra layer of security for tools and supplies that must be kept safe. Its vertical design maximises floor-space efficiency and the painted green finish is resistant to abrasion and simple to clean, enabling long-term, low-maintenance use.

Suitable for

• Workshops and repair shops for tool and parts storage
• Garages and home utility rooms for automotive supplies and garden equipment
• Warehouses and stockrooms for organised storage of small parcels, boxes and consumables
• Offices and archive areas for storing files and archive boxes that require occasional locking

When it may not be suitable

This metal shelving unit is not intended for environments requiring climate control for sensitive materials or items that need strict humidity or temperature regulation. It may also be less suitable where very frequent relocation is required, since the metal construction and integrated cabinets add weight compared with lightweight portable shelving.

How to use

Place the shelving unit on a level, stable surface and attach to the wall or floor where required for additional stability following local safety practices. Arrange items by frequency of use, with heavier objects on lower shelves and lighter or frequently accessed items at eye level. Use the lockable cabinets to store tools, hazardous materials or items requiring restricted access and keep keys in a secure location. Clean the painted metal surfaces with a mild detergent and dry thoroughly to maintain the finish.

What to consider before purchase

• Available floor space and clearances for the stated unit dimensions
• Required load capacity per shelf for the intended items
• Need for wall anchoring or fixing for stability and safety
• Access requirements for doors and cabinet locks in the planned location

Usage recommendations

Store heavier items on lower shelves, secure the unit to a wall if the installation location allows, and use the lockable cabinets for tools or materials that require controlled access. Regularly inspect shelf fixings and lock mechanisms and perform simple cleaning to prolong the service life of the painted metal finish.
