148 doesn't play favorites: The code mandates that all metallic parts of electrical boxes must bond to ground—no exceptions for cabinet doors. Bottom line: That door is part of the enclosure. Skip the grounding, and you're gambling with safety. In factories, construction sites, and even commercial buildings, this question pops up all the time. Always install your boxes where you can reach them later. Ensure safe placement: install in. I am planning to pull three sets of four conductors (3 AWG wire) through 2" EMT conduit for a 30' length that is common to all three sets of wires, and then branch off at a listed metal junction box (10"x10"x4") to three 1 1/4" EMT conduits. Site selection requirements: The distribution box should be installed in an area close to the power supply to reduce. The grounding system provides a low-impedance path for fault current and limits the voltage rise on the normally non-current-carrying metallic components of the electrical distribution system.
