WHAT IS A
Tambour Cabinet
AKA Bi-Fold Door or Receding Door
In the minds of many a tambour cabinet is any closed cabinet. But the term possibly came from the French "Tambour Drum" which was related in the English to be a "SIDE DRUM". The tambour cabinet - is a side cabinet.
Because there have been a variety of side cabinets, the TAMBOUR is generally associated with the receding door cabinet where the front panels slide or recede into the carcass of the cabinet and are hidden when the cabinet is open.
There are excellent cabinets for any office and come in a variety of heights and widths. The most popular being the 900 and 1200mm width. To achieve this the actual cabinet is approx 950 and 1250mm in width to accommodate the mechanism.
These cabinets are popular where locking of the cabinet is essential eg in the personnel department, computer software, accessories etc.
