YES. According to NFPA, OSHA, and FM expectations, it is necessary to have the 3-point self-latching system. The self-latching system also makes door operation much smoother and easy. This is critical because an unlatched safety cabinet leaves the flammable contents exposed to a potential fire and may lead to much bigger fire.
