Is there no other entrance that's wider, perhaps a window/skylight?
Cutting-up a cabinet (only to find that it's pretty impossible to make
it sturdy again) or demolishing the wall may well be more
Not a silly question my fault for not making clear - cabinet is still
outside the room ... yet to go in.
And, no other entrance points. Room is below ground level, with a stupidly
narrow door frame. Old client building, with a room not originally designed

Can you see where this is leading yet? Three obvious questions:
1) Have you ever had to fit a cabinet through a doorway that's too small?
2) How did you do it? Cut cabinet, demolish wall ...?
3) If you cut the cabinet, any tips?

It's admittedly far from ideal in some ways, but a great way to deal
with this sort of situation can be to get a pair of two-post open
frame relay racks; most of them bolt together and can be put just
about anywhere. Many times we forget that these can be used as the
