Greenlee 2142 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are the outside dimensions of the Greenlee 2142 storage chest, and will it fit in a van or service truck bed?
The 2142 measures 42 inches wide, 20 inches high and 20 inches deep. That 20 inch depth and height let it sit against a van bulkhead or across a truck bed without eating the full floor, but measure your door opening first, since 42 inches is the controlling number going through a side door.
2) Can casters be added to the Greenlee 2142 chest to roll it around the shop?
Yes. The chest sits on angled support skids 3-1/2 inches high, and those skids come with threaded holes already in them for caster mounting. Casters themselves are not part of the chest, so they are a separate purchase.
3) How secure is the Greenlee 2142 against someone attacking the lock on a jobsite?
Security comes from three things: a pocket-with-tang lock mechanism, recessed and concealed lock protectors that shield the lock from drilling and cutting, and piano hinges with non-removable pins so the lid cannot be popped off the back. The pocket-and-tang design means you supply your own padlock to suit your site policy.
4) Is 16 gauge steel heavy enough for a chest that gets loaded and unloaded every day?
16 gauge steel is the body material on the 2142, and the lid, which takes the most abuse, gets a reinforced bolster for added support over repeated use. Steel support arms hold the lid open so it is not dropping on hands or hinges while crews load out.
5) Should I buy a chest-style box like the Greenlee 2142 or a cabinet-style job box?
The 2142 is a chest, meaning a single lid-up compartment you load from the top. That suits bulk hand tools, cords, benders and gear you drop in and lift out. If you need shelves, vertical storage for long items, or doors you can reach into at waist height without lifting everything above it, a cabinet style box is the better fit. A chest is also the easier box to transport and to get through a tight opening.
6) Can two people carry the Greenlee 2142, or does it need to stay in one place?
It is built to be moved. Fold-down recessed handles sit flush with the body when not in use, so nothing snags during transport, and a finger-groove handle on the lid lets you open it one-handed. For regular repositioning, install casters in the threaded skid holes rather than carrying it loaded.
7) Does a padlock come with the Greenlee 2142 chest?
No padlock is included. The 2142 uses a pocket-with-tang closure, so you add a padlock sized to the pocket. Facilities standardizing a site keyway can run the same keyed-alike padlock across every chest.
8) Where is the Greenlee 2142 storage chest made, and what part number do I order?
Order it as Greenlee model 2142. It is made in the United States and finished in Greenlee green to match the rest of their professional tool line.
