Cabinet Catches

Several catch styles are available, though on new cabinets you may not get a choice as the manufacturer puts on the one they want. They are not too expensive to replace, if a customer wants something different.

Pulls and Knobs

Many kitchen cabinet doors and drawers are designed not to have knobs (round) or pulls (handles). Instead they are routed out under the door or drawer for a finger pull, or the bevelled overlay style doors are used. If knobs or pulls are included the style selection from the cabinet manufacturer is quite limited.

If the cabinets are custom made by cabinet factory, the customer can choose from a wide selection of pulls and knobs. The main thing for you to be aware of is which styles and which finishes are available and popular. Check your stock and the manufacturer catalogue for current styles and finishes.

Backplates

Backplates are round, for behind knobs, or rectangular, for behind pulls, protection for the cabinet surface area that is frequently scratched when grabbing the pull. These are not often included in new cabinets, but might be a good add-on sale for which the customer will thank you later.

Hinges

Hinges are available in many styles, finishes and shapes. One nice feature is the self-closing hinge. If your cabinet manufacturer includes them (most do) it’s a good selling point.

Drawer Guides

Drawer guides are installed at the factory for factory cabinets. For custom made kitchen cabinets and bathroom cabinets a choice has to be made. There are two main choices: a mono or single drawer rail under the drawer down the middle of the kitchen cabinet, or a double track drawer guide. Here a guide is attached to each drawer side. Usually the double guide is the better choice, though it is more expensive. Again, if your factory cabinet has double guides instead of a single one, it is a selling point.
