Tambour Door Cabinet | Retractable Door Storage

A hinged cabinet door needs somewhere to swing, and in a tight corridor, a shared office, or a space packed with desks, that's not always available. The Tambour Door Cabinet solves this with a retractable door that slides back into the cabinet itself rather than swinging outward, so it never eats into walkway or aisle space, a genuine benefit in busy South Australian offices where every metre of floor gets used.

Built with environmentally friendly ABS slats and finished with flush door posts and inset handles, it brings a modern look to a classic storage format. Internal adjustable levelling feet keep the cabinet stable on uneven flooring, and shelves adjust in 32mm increments to suit changing storage needs, with up to 40kg shelf capacity (UDL) supporting genuinely heavy use. Security comes via a barrel exchange locking system fitted with anti-bacterial keys, with master key or keyed alike options available across a full bank of cabinets. Configurations run from a compact 2 shelf, 900mm wide unit through to a full 2000mm, 5 shelf cabinet, in either 900mm or 1200mm widths, giving genuine flexibility to match the space.

Creative Systems supplies, assembles, delivers and installs the Tambour Door Cabinet across Adelaide and South Australia. As a South Australian based business, we keep pricing competitive and lead times short, without compromising on the build quality behind the fitting.

Common Questions:

Do the tambour doors take up any walkway space when open?
No, the doors retract back into the cabinet itself rather than swinging outward, so they don't intrude on walkway or aisle space even in tighter offices.

Can the cabinet be configured for a specific storage need, like filing or small parts?
Yes, accessories including a pull-out file frame, wire file rack, plastic parts bins and shelf dividers can all be added, letting the same cabinet be set up for document filing, small component storage, or general shelving.

Can plants be incorporated into the cabinet setup?
Yes, a planter box accessory is available with either 3 or 4 pot holes, each with plastic drip trays to keep the cabinet itself clean.
