    Think of the metal enclosure like a wall blocking light. It was basically cast an RF shadow in that direction. If you can place your antenna outside the enclosure and common the enclosure to RF ground, you won't have any issue. But if your antenna in contained inside the enclosure, its basically a Faraday cage. You'll be lucky to get 1m.
