Although this doesn't solve the question for those with existing flammable 
cabinets, I have a suggestion for anyone who is looking to procure new 
flammable cabinets. I have to say up front that I have no monetary 
interest or connections to this company (in fact there may be other 
manufactrurers who offer a similar product), but this product offers an 
option that would usually solve the issue of door closers. 

Duperthal makes a flammable storage cabinet that uses a drawer instead of 
doors and shelves. The drawer stays open by itself, but there is an 
internal closer with a fusible link that automatically closes the drawer 
in case of a fire, which should meet the spirit and intent of the 
standards that I am aware of. Additionally, this can also be an ergonomic 
benefit, because it is easier to get jugs of solvent into and out-of a 
drawer than recessed shelves. 

Here is a link to info on one of these cabinets on their website:

Of course, for any application you need to consult with the manufacturer 
to address your specific needs, but this is one more option for solvent 
storage.
