What storage cabinets are appropriate for a server room or IT closet?

Server rooms and IT closets require storage for consumables, spare parts, documentation, and tools — not server hardware itself (which goes in equipment racks). Storage cabinets in these environments should be: steel construction (not laminate, which can off-gas particulates harmful to electronics in poorly ventilated server rooms); grounded or at minimum anti-static (for storing sensitive electronic components); lockable (to secure spare drives, access credentials, and high-value components); and positioned to not obstruct airflow paths or equipment access aisles. A mid-height steel cabinet (36"–42" tall) used as a counter-height work surface for staging equipment is a common configuration.
