Stainless steel recessed enclosures and cabinets typically mate with walls or equipment panels using mounting frames. The frame conceals the gap between the cutout and the enclosure while impacting door opening, sealing, fastening, and overall appearance.

Design requires verifying wall cutout dimensions, frame width, enclosure depth, mounting bolt positions, and door alignment relative to the wall. To achieve specific protection ratings, confirm whether sealant, gaskets, or other joint structures are required between the frame and wall.

Stainless steel grade, surface finish, and welding methods also affect frame quality. For medical, food, laboratory, or hygienic environments, ensure corners, welds, and surfaces are easy to clean. Finalize the structure using installation section drawings and on-site dimensions.
