Yes, a base cabinet with a door and a shelf can usually become a set of drawers, as long as its box is sound. The drawers come all the way out, so nothing gets lost at the back of the cabinet.
Converting a door-and-shelf cabinet is a strong upgrade for most kitchens, but the box has to be right. Here is how to tell whether yours is a good candidate.
Most roll-out drawer jobs take a few steps and one install visit. Here is how it runs.
We measure each base cabinet and check that the box is sound. If a box is failing, we'll tell you before anything is built, so the quote reflects what the cabinet really needs.
Solid maple drawer boxes and new fronts are built in Palmer to your openings, with dovetailed corners and plywood bottoms set in grooves.
Installation takes one visit. Your kitchen stays usable until install day, and we check every drawer before we leave.
Lead time is usually 3–6 months from accepting a quote to the start of work. Drawers are built to order, so the schedule runs with the rest of the job. A simple organizer installation can often happen sooner, and we'll say so when we quote.
Before the install, we'll confirm the fronts. Some fronts can be kept, and door-and-shelf cabinets need new fronts. We'll show you the difference on the visit.
Raymond handles the measure, the quote and the install, so you deal with one person from start to finish.
A shelf in a base cabinet holds a lot, but you can only use what you can reach. Drawers bring the back of the cabinet to the front. Compare the reach you get from a drawer bank with the daily work of digging through a shelf full of pans. Drawers that open all the way are the whole point.
Door-and-shelf base cabinets can be converted, as long as the box is sound. We'll tell you at the measure whether yours is a good candidate.
For a door-and-shelf cabinet, yes, since it needs new drawer fronts. If you already have drawers that work, their fronts can often be kept. See our drawer boxes page for more on that.
Drawers are quoted per drawer. Every job gets a free, written quote that lists the openings and drawers included.
Lead time is usually 3–6 months from accepting a quote to the start of work. Installation itself takes one visit.
Yes. They run on full-extension, undermount soft-close slides, and the boxes are built for them. See our soft-close drawer slides page.
Yes. Our drawer boxes are solid maple with dovetailed corners and plywood bottoms set in grooves.
A single drawer can make sense in some cabinets. Ask us at the measure. A single pull-out on its own usually isn't worth a separate trip, so we'll tell you honestly whether it's worth doing.
