The Cato Chief 105-5 is an all-plastic, surface-mounted fire extinguisher cabinet for a 5 lb extinguisher, made in the USA. Injection-molded high-impact polystyrene with UV inhibitors makes it a dent-proof and rust-proof alternative to a steel cabinet at a lower cost. The scored clear acrylic front panel breaks cleanly with the included aluminum-tipped hammer (tethered on a stainless cable) for emergency access, and a hexagonal security lock with two keys opens the cabinet for service. UV-resistant FIRE and Break Panel decals are included, and this cabinet ships fully assembled. Pick white or red above.

Extinguisher compatibility
The manufacturer rates this tub for Cosmic 2.5 to 5 lb and Galaxy 2.5 to 5 lb units. Fit is set by the extinguisher's cylinder diameter against the 5-3/8 in tub depth, not by weight, so confirm the cylinder diameter on your extinguisher's cut sheet against the tub dimensions above. A 10 lb unit needs the larger Chief cabinet. See our Fire Extinguisher Cabinet Selection Guide for the full fit matrix.
Placement and mounting height follow the NFPA 10 requirements.
