If installing new cabinetry is your choice, you must decide whether
to buy ready-made or to make your own.
Making New Cabinets
If making new cabinetry is an option for you, Rockler has a full
range of cabinetry building supplies from drawer
building supplies to screws
and fasteners to custom
door and drawer programs to help you complete the project. Making
new cabinetry is a rewarding and fruitful experience for woodworkers,
but it can be a challenging and complicated project. It can elevate the
pride of home ownership to heavenly new levels, or end in nightmarish
disaster. It is not a project for the beginning woodworker and is
challenging enough to tax even the intermediate woodworker or handy- man
or woman’s skills and tool availability. See our article on
Making
New Cabinets for more information.
Buying
Ready Made Cabinets
If you are not prepared for the challenges and expense of making your
own cabinetry, you’ll want to consider buying ready-made. Most
manufacturers offer several quality grades and lines of cabinetry that
are easy to maintain. Modern prefabricated cabinets are engineered to be
storage-intensive and you can choose from dozens of storage options,
including slide-out shelves, bins, and drawers to fit your specific
needs. You can further embellish ready-made cabinetry by adding your own
crown
or dentil moldings or other decorative elements. (See Accessories
below.) If purchasing ready-made cabinetry is your choice, there are
some very important considerations you’ll want to keep in mind. So
that you can make your new cabinetry purchase with informed confidence,
see our article on
Buying
New Cabinets.
New Hardware
Whether you make your own new cabinetry or buy ready-made, it’s the
addition of unique hardware - knobs, pulls, hinges, and accessories -
that is the secret to achieving a stunning appearance. Rockler has an
almost unlimited number of styles available to fit your needs. The
addition of sparkling new hardware adds the glow that will make your new
kitchen cabinetry shimmer. You’ll be amazed at the dramatic new
presentation of your newly installed casework. See our
Knobs
and Pulls page for some sensational hardware options for your
new cabinets. Or see our page on
Hinges
for the latest in hinge technology.
Accessories
Significantly enhance the look of your new cabinetry by adding classy
and easy to install accessories and architectural moldings from Rockler’s
wide selection of trimmings. Friends and family will be astonished
at the sensational appearance that you can create on your new cabinetry
with only a few feet of crown molding or dentil molding. If a more
exciting presentation is your preference, consider split rope topper
molding, fluted and beaded molding with rosettes, or other carvings. And
there are lots of awesome accessories to choose from, including pantry
slides, corner shelves, drawer organizers, pullout trash bins, and
appliance garages. The proper accessories can add a touch of elegance.
