Having a well-stocked lockable-bar-cabinet is imperative for those who love entertaining guests. In addition to matching your style and storage needs, a lockable bar cabinet also ensures nothing is taken without you knowing during parties or when you're away. There is a myriad of choices available regarding these cabinets, so it's essential you take into consideration their size, materials, durability, and your budget.
When selecting a wall-mounted cabinet, you'll find that they're typically 23 inches wide, at least five inches deep, and 30 inches tall. It's possible to accommodate as many as 20 liquor bottles in these cabinets. If you'd rather use a cabinet that sits on the floor, they're typically 36 x 34 x 18 inches. It's possible to hold liquor bottles, glasses, napkins, and other essentials in this kind of lockable bar cabinet. Selecting a rolling lockable bar cabinet, though, will reduce your storage space because they measure around 24 x 28 x 28 inches.
Lockable bar cabinet cabinets are available in many options. For example, if you'd rather not have a cabinet that sits on the floor, there are wall-mounting options. Others are excellent options for uses as sideboards or console tables. Some lockable cabinets also couple as liquor cabinets and carts.
You'll find lockable bar cabinets can be made from just about any material. The most durable and traditional designs are made from hardwoods including cherry, maple, and oak. You'll also find that popular choices include walnut and mahogany. If you'd prefer to have a more contemporary look, you can opt for a cabinet made from steel or blackened metal. The lock on the cabinet is just as critical of a consideration as the cabinet’s design, style, and durability. Be sure to select one with a lock on it that’s reliable and won’t break easily.
When selecting your lockable bar cabinet, you’ll be doing more than determining the storage needs for your liquor and bar accessories. You’ll also be picking a piece of furniture that fits in with the theme of the rest of your room’s décor. Therefore, if the room this cabinet is going into is rustic, selecting a contemporary cabinet featuring metal finishes wouldn’t be a good match. Instead, you would want to choose one with a wooden finish that looks distressed. Conversely, if you have a modern-style space, choosing a traditional cabinet wouldn’t work. Instead, pick one with black lacquer accents coupled with metal finishes.
Under most circumstances, you'll see small wood mounted units priced around $200.00. Larger wood or metal units could cost up to $10,000.00. Ultimately, the larger the cabinet is going to be the more you're going to spend. Therefore, if you're going to select a large unit constructed from the best materials and has a considerable amount of storage, you could easily spend several thousand dollars. Before beginning the selection process, set a budget that's comfortable.
