Detecto

Detecto has made scales since 1900, when the company was founded in Brooklyn, New York. Since 1981 Detecto has been part of Cardinal Scale, and its scales are built at the company’s factory in Webb City, Missouri. The name is familiar from doctors’ offices and grocery counters, and the line also covers floor scales, washdown indicators and label printing deli scales.

MNM Scales stocks Detecto scales, labels and parts in Cypress, TX, with calibration and service across the Houston area.

Detecto calibration, installation and repair

We calibrate Detecto scales in our Cypress, TX shop, priced by capacity:

A scale whose capacity is exactly at a tier limit uses the lower tier.

Floor scales over 150 kg fall in the top tier. MNM Scales is TDA licensed with registered technicians for all scale classes. We install and level Detecto floor scales, calibrate them with certified test weights and place them in service on site; on-site calibration in the Houston area starts at $295 plus $2 per mile. See how floor scale calibration works and our scale repair service.
