Instead of hanging the fire cylinders using brackets on the wall, I wish to keep the cylinders in closed cabinets on the floor. Is there any legal law that says it could not be placed in a closed cabinet on the ground? Please help.

Fire Extinguishers should be easily accessible in case of fire whether to keep hanging or to be placed in cabinet is not mandated by the law.

The purpose of fire extinguishers is to put out fires and should be easily reachable and visible to people. Keeping them in a closed cupboard defeats the purpose if immediate use is necessary. People will start searching first, and it can be harmful for all concerned. Basic common sense.
