Are JL Industries cabinets made in the USA?

Yes. JL Industries makes its fire extinguisher and AED cabinets in Bloomington, Minnesota and Commerce, California.

What is the difference between a recessed and a surface-mounted cabinet?

A recessed cabinet sets into the wall for a flush look but needs a cavity deeper than the cabinet tub. A surface-mounted cabinet bolts to the wall face and needs no cavity, which suits masonry and thin walls. Our cabinet selection guide walks through the choice.

Which cabinets are fire-rated?

Cabinets with the FX2 option carry a UL 1479 (ASTM E814) classification up to two hours, so they can go in a fire-rated wall when installed per that listing. Standard cabinets are fine in walls that are not rated or for surface mounting.

Can you quote a JL model you don't list?

Yes. Send the model number, the size or the approved submittal and we will quote it, including models that are built to order.

JL Industries

JL Industries is a brand of Activar Construction Products Group. It makes fire extinguisher cabinets, AED cabinets and other fire protection products at plants in Bloomington, Minnesota and Commerce, California. The line is built for commercial, institutional and public projects, where the cabinet has to match the drawings and the code.

Fire extinguisher cabinets

We are an authorized JL Industries distributor. The Embassy series is a trimless cabinet that sits fully in the wall, which suits corridors and lobbies. The Economyline series mounts on the wall face where there is no cavity to recess into. Cato plastic cabinets are impact resistant and made for outdoor and parking garage use. The FX2 fire-rated option carries a UL 1479 (ASTM E814) classification up to two hours, so a recessed cabinet can go in a fire-rated wall when it is installed per that listing. Our fire extinguisher cabinet selection guide compares sizes and mounting. You can also browse all fire extinguisher cabinets. Placement and mounting height follow NFPA 10.

AED cabinets

The LifeStart line keeps an AED where people can see it in an emergency. It comes in steel, clear anodized aluminum and brushed stainless steel. Each cabinet has an 85 dB door alarm with a keyed on/off switch and AED graphics. The recessed and semi-recessed models stay within the 4 inch projection the ADA allows along a circulation path. See them all in AED cabinets. These cabinets are made in the USA.

Hose cabinets, access panels and roof hatches

JL also makes fire hose valve cabinets, fire-rated and standard access panels and roof hatches with hatch railings and a ladder safety post. Pull station covers, corner guards and ligature-resistant cabinets round out the line.

Built to order

Some JL products have no price list because each one is built for the job. That covers floor access doors, entrance grates and mats and fire hose equipment cabinets. Send the size, your plans or the approved submittal from those pages and we will quote it. We quote two other Activar brands the same way. Dur-Red makes the roof smoke vents and equipment hatches. Air Louvers makes the door louvers and vision lites.
