Replacing a Broken Cato Panel, Tub or Lost Key

Every Cato cabinet part is sold separately. Find the right tub, trim, acrylic panel, hammer, lock, hex key or Warrior seal by catalog number.

Updated 2026-09-22

Cato sells every component of every cabinet separately. A cracked tub, a smashed panel, a missing hammer or a lost key is a part number, not a new cabinet. Here is the whole parts map in one place.

First: identify the cabinet

You need two things — the size and the series.

Size is stamped into the old numbering as 105-5, 105-10, 105-20, 95-5 or 95-10, and it maps to the first three digits of the part number: 105 for the 5 lb, 110 for the 10 lb, 120 for the 20 lb Chief family; 950/955 and 951 for the 5 and 10 lb Warrior. If nothing is legible, measure the tub interior:

Tub I.D. (W x H x D)Cabinet
6" x 16-3/4" x 5-3/8"105-5
6-3/4" x 20-1/2" x 6"105-10
9" x 26" x 8"105-20
8" x 19" x 6-3/8"Warrior 95-5
9" x 23" x 7"Warrior 95-10
8-1/2" x 23-1/4" x 5-5/8"Semi-recessed 405-10

Series is the front: a grid-scored acrylic panel with a hammer or bar is a Chief; a clear panel with an oval notch is an Island Chief; a hinged acrylic door with a black handle is a Pull to Open; a one-piece lift-off cover with a plastic seal is a Warrior.

Tubs

95103 / 95153Warrior 95-10White / red

On submittals these carry a -D suffix, which means the tub ships with its "FIRE" decal applied. Chief, Island Chief and Pull to Open share the same tubs — only the front differs.

Trims, doors and locks

Lost key? Order the key on its own — 10006W or 10006R — rather than the whole lock. Match it to the trim color; that is how Cato distinguishes them.

The Customizer is the one to reach for when you cannot identify the cabinet, or when the cabinet is not a Cato at all. It is .080 clear UV-resistant acrylic with scored grid lines for trimming to size on site, made to fit up to most 5, 10 and 20 lb economy line cabinets, and it ships with the "Break Panel" decal.

Decals

Every Cato decal is sold on its own under a CL- number, printed on UV-resistant stock: CL-401R and CL-401W the 3 x 9 in. "FIRE" icon on red or white, CL-403 the 4 x 18 in. arrow, CL-413 the 4 x 12 in. arrow, CL-412 the 1 x 15 in. "Fire Extinguisher" lettering, CL-415 "Break Panel", CL-416 the red "Felony Warning", CL-416A the Island Chief pull panel felony label, CL-417 "In Case of Fire Pull Handle Firmly", CL-418 "Pull To Open", CL-419 the 220 break panel label, CL-420 the 220 side "FIRE" label, CL-422 "Extinguisher Missing", CL-423 "Kitchen Suppression", CL-426 the chromium extinguisher label and CL-95 the Warrior cover crime warning. The Island Chief's MR Safe label is LA-1041, 2 x 2 in.

Fitting the part

Cato's installation and maintenance guide 14I-120 covers the sequence: remove the hardware and glazing, unlock the cabinet, fit the new part, align the glazing on the inside of the door, then install the trim by snapping it into place. A replacement hammer or break bar arrives with its removable fastener attached — push it into the pre-drilled 9/32 in. hole, and snapping the frame back on locks it in place. Nothing more than a screwdriver is needed.

Warranty

Activar warrants fire protection products other than extinguishers for one year from date of shipment against defects in materials and workmanship, and will replace or repair a defective product at its discretion. Manufacturer's warranty terms and conditions apply in all cases.

Common questions

Someone broke the panel on my Cato Chief. What do I order?

A replacement acrylic panel sized to the tub: 10575 for a 105-5, 11075 for a 105-10, 12075 for a 105-20, all clear. Red acrylic is 11065 for the 10 lb and 12065 for the 20 lb. If you cannot identify the cabinet, order the Customizer panel instead and trim it to size on site.

I lost the key to a Cato cabinet. Can I get another?

Yes. Cato sells the hex key on its own as 10006R in red and 10006W in white, matching the trim color, and the complete lock assembly as 10001R or 10001W. Two keys come installed with every new lock assembly.

What is the Customizer panel?

Cato's patented Customizer is a .080 clear UV-resistant acrylic panel printed with scored grid lines so it can be trimmed to size on site. It is made to fit most 5, 10 and 20 lb economy line cabinets and comes in three sizes: 10575C at 7-5/8 by 18-3/4 in., 11075C at 8-5/8 by 22-5/8 in. and 12075C at 10-5/8 by 27-3/4 in.

Do I have to replace the whole Warrior cabinet after it is opened?

No. Only the plastic locking seal is consumed, part 95505. The tub and the cover are reusable, and both are also stocked separately if one is damaged.
