Triangle Home Products Medicine Cabinet


Triangle Home Products Medicine Cabinet
The door frame on this medicine cabinet is made of steel U-channel. The corners are formed by punching V-notches into the channel, then bending it 90 degrees. The punching process leaves sharp burrs, which are inadequately (or not at all?) deburred. These burrs are made worse by the forming process. I find it especially ironic that a medicine cabinet, to which we turn to help heal injuries, itself inflicts injuries. Well, at least the bandaids are close at hand ;)

Lesson Learned/Solution:
Sharp edges are to the metal-working world what flash is to the injection-molding world, and they’re just as often an offender. Again, deburring sharp edges doesn’t cost that much. Shame on you, Triangle Metal Products.
