Making New Cabinets or Buying Ready Made
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.
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.
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. See our Accessories page for the latest trends.
