JL Industries Academy Aluminum Semi-Recessed Solid Door Fire Extinguisher Cabinet 10 lb 1027S21

The JL Industries Academy 1027S21 is a semi-recessed aluminum fire extinguisher cabinet with a solid door, made in the USA. There is no window: the door is a flat clear satin anodized aluminum panel matching the trim, on a continuous hinge that opens 180 degrees, with a pull handle and roller catch. It is the same cabinet as the full-view 1027F10 with the glazing replaced by aluminum, so the tub, trim and wall opening are identical and the two are interchangeable in an existing opening. The product images are representative of this configuration; the cabinet ships built as specified in the table below.

Extinguisher compatibility

JL rates this tub for Cosmic and Galaxy extinguishers from 2.5 to 10 lb, Mercury from 2.5 to 5 lb, and the 5 lb Sentinel. Check your extinguisher's cylinder diameter and handle height against the 6 in tub depth before ordering. See our Fire Extinguisher Cabinet Selection Guide for how depth drives fit.

Placement and mounting height follow the NFPA 10 requirements.

Solid door and lettering

A solid door is specified where the extinguisher should not be on display, where glazing has been broken before, or where the corridor wants one clean metal face. With no window, the door itself has to say what is inside, which is why most solid-door specs pair the cabinet with lettering: choose the red vertical FIRE EXTINGUISHER option above and the cabinet is supplied with JL's 3/4 in die-cut vinyl lettering. Silkscreened lettering, other colours, and horizontal layouts are factory options; request a quote from this page. Confirm the marking your authority having jurisdiction expects before choosing an unlettered door.

Where this model fits

Aluminum is the pick where the surrounding door frames and hardware are anodized aluminum, or where a corridor wants the metal look without the cost of stainless. Semi-recessed suits a wall too shallow to take a fully recessed tub: the rough opening is only 3-1/8 in deep and the rest of the cabinet sits proud behind a 3 in rolled trim, within the 4 in protrusion limit for a corridor or means of egress. This model is built to order at the factory. JL makes the same solid-door cabinet in white steel and 304 stainless, in dark bronze anodized, with a flat, square or 4-1/2 in trim, surface mounted, with a Saf-T-Lok, and fire-rated (FX2); for any of those, request a quote from this page.
