Storing small parts and fixings
Nothing is more annoying for than not be able to locate a small part or a fixing, for example, nails, screws, spare fuses and so on. There are a number of ways to solve this perennial problem.
The modular tilt-box storage system is one such method. It is extremely versatile in that the buyer can choose to purchase any number of storage units and they can be clipped together to suit his or her requirements.
Typically a tilt storage box or drawer will be made from clear, sturdy plastic to enable the owner to easily view its contents. The box may have a label holder to allow the user to specify which type and size of nail or screw is in that box. The drawers are removable and many units have fully enclosed housings to keep out either dust or moisture. Retaining bars are sometimes available to prevent the drawers from swinging open while the unit is being transported. The units may also be attached to a wall or work-bench surface.
Open-fronted bins are another way to keep small items together in storage and easy to find. They range in size, can be bought separately and are stackable. The bins will usually have integrated label holders. An alternative to stacking them would be to attach them to louvered panels. The panels will be attached to a wall and are normally available singly or in packs of two or more. One benefit of the louvered panel option is that bins of various sizes may be fixed to them.
