Tim is a mind reader.

Before lunch today, I asked a colleague at work today about how they store
volatiles as well.

I saw a 45 Gallon cupboard that I could describe easily as a bunch of fire
doors cobbled together.

The specific cupboard I saw was:
- Bought from Protectoseal, 225 Foster Avenue Bensonville IL 60106 (312)
595 0800
- It had a NFPA Code #30 written on it, along with the initials FM in a
vertical rhombus.
- I couldn't help but notice on its one side, it had a circular 'window'
for ventilation

>From what I saw, it seems the purpose of a cabinet like this is to prevent
flames from impacting the volatile things inside.

Googling resulted in this:
