What Would You Store in This Durham Dispensing Wall Cabinet?

Durham Dispensing Cabinet

I came across this Durham dispensing wall cabinet the other day (model 590-95), and it looked like a really handy way to store commonly used parts and supplies, maybe even small tools too.

It has 4 tilting trays, and each can accommodate up to 7 dividers to create 4 to 32 compartments. They’re translucent, so you might be able to see the contents through the front, but if not, each row can be quickly scanned at once when tilted open.

There are also 3 shelves for storing bulkier things, and a hinged cover to keep those items or parts boxes in place.

Durham makes the unit from cold rolled steel, and the tilting trays are of course plastic. The metal parts are powder coated in typical Durham gray.

The cabinet measures 26-3/4″ tall x 19″ wide x 4″ deep.

I’ve seen tilting organizers before, but it was the shallowness of this unit that caught my attention and made this cabinet post-worthy. At only 4-inches deep, and with tilt-out trays instead of pull-out compartments, this cabinet might fit in places other larger ones won’t.

I also like that everything in this cabinet is protected from dust and debris, unlike open compartment storage bins.

Durham says that it’s ideal for the organization of automotive bulbs, fuses, terminals, fasteners, and more.

I was tempted to buy this for quick access storage of common fasteners, fittings, wire terminals, Wago lever-lock wiring connectors, maybe even some hand tools, perhaps some Bandaids, and frequently used lighting jig adapters.

I couldn’t settle on where I’d place it, so I’m holding off for now.

Stack-On Tilt Out Dispenser

Stack-On makes something similar (CB-12), a 4 row 12-compartment organizer, for $10 via Amazon. The Stack-On unit is made from plastic, and can be wall mounted or left freestanding on your benchtop. It’s a lot smaller, at 18-1/2″ tall x 14-3/8″ wide x 5″ deep.

While the Durham cabinet is said to have clear trays, the Stack-on lids look to be transparent, as opposed to milky-white translucent.

The Stack-On won’t be as durable, and has 12 compartments instead of 32 + 3 shelves, but it’s a $10 investment as opposed to over $70.

    Nothing. It would gather too much dust in my woodshop, and the bins are too large for my electronics workshop. Electronics demands lots and lots of small bins.

    Don’t get me wrong, Durham storage products rock. I have several.

      OK, I just realized those are tilt-bins and not pick bins. But the answer is still the same. If I’m going to use precious wall space, I need something deeper, that holds more.

      Of course it might be exactly what someone is looking for.

        Same for me at work, I do electronics repair as a profession. We have a ton of those old metal storage racks with plastic bins that are like 1.5″ wide by 1″ tall and 6″ deep(estimated)…wish I could find some of those, seems like no one makes those anymore.

        Stack on does make some plastic that are this type, they would work well but it’s still a plastic frame. You can see these at Lowe’s but they’re a little cheaper on Amazon. Normally the Stack Ons have a couple larger drawers which are good for common value, large caps or misc like pots, switches, transformers.

    We had a parts room in both of our shops. Durham stuff in both of them – more of their rotabins for the larger stuff.

    I think that I linked (either on a prior post here on the Community Forum site) to an eBay listing to one that seemed to be a bargain. BTW – it costs about the same at Zoro – and assuming they can ship it without it arriving damaged – then it might be a good deal when Zoro is having one of their 25% or even 30% off sales.

      Forgot to say that we also bought parts trays – but more Nipple Caddies from a company called William Harvey – that I think now is part of Oatey

    We had a couple of those that had a large variety of wire connectors for automotive/trailer repairs. Butt connectors, heat shrink connectors, bullet & spade connectors, crimp caps, ring terminals, etc in all of the sizes.

    We even had a plastic one that was similar in style that we would take to the spot we were working on.

    The stack-on ones are pretty decent for home use. They are good for odds and ends, connectors, fasteners, etc. And affordable. I’m sure the Durham product is nice but I’d be looking at using a cabinet with small parts pins in that case.

    I like the design of this a lot for odds and ends that I like to keep organized/separated (hooks/screws/anchors/misc hardware). For what I’d use this, I would rather spend $10 on a stack-on rack than $75.

    My moms Drugs!
    She’s had bypass surgery, stroke, brain surgery. Etc. She takes a lot of RX drugs and I am tasked with keeping all her drug straight. Those child proof bottles are a pain in the butt. With this organization I could load all her drugs into bins and color code all the morning pills green and evening pills red. She can walk up the the “drug wall” and pop one or two from each bin. Talk about Organization. How cool would that be. If there was more than one I would use each bin to hold my Chainsaw chains in the shop. I am a Chainsaw Carver and swap dull chains for sharp ones. Each bin could hold a chain and I would label red for dull and green for sharp.

    If there was a third Durham Wall Dispinsing Cabnet I would hang it in the living room and sort my Reese’s Pieces. You see I love Reese’s pieces and normally just eat them from the bag. But organizing them by color into these bins would allow me to look so cool durning my fabulous Dinner Parties. It would look so good hanging on the wall filled with candy.

    A 4th one would be dangerous as I would use it to organize a Lego bricks. This is s problem as I don’t currently own any Legos and don’t really want to buy a butt load to fill the oragzizer. But I would if I had a 4th one.

    I wonder if insert boxes will fit in that.
