disconitinued k cabinets?

user-51823 | Posted in General Discussion on July 10, 2006 09:01am

i need a few more wall and floor cabinets to match the ones i bought last year at home depot, but that style has been discontinued at lowes and home depot. they had plain untrimmed birch doors. the new style both stores carry is oak with molding, and are twice the price.

do i have any options to match the old ones? thanks-

    When you say "plain untrimmed birch doors," you'll have to be more descriptive.

    If you mean slab doors, 3/4" thick, birch veneer face grain vertical, with birch veneer edgeband all around, a door like that can be made in your shop, mine, or in lots of other places.

    You could ship one of your existing doors to a place like Scherr's (http://www.scherrs.com) and they can replicate the style in whatever sizes and quantities you need, and include hinge preps and hinges.

    Unfortunately for you, if the bigbox can't help you, there is no low-cost solution.

    If you are really, really, lucky, you might find the manufacturer of the cabinet line on-line--then it would just be the ordering & shipping.

    If you are moderately lucky, lowes migh now stock the brand that the hd does not.

    If you are ordinary lucky, your town might have a cabinet dealer (under yellow pages check "kitchen cabinets"; "millwork"; and "casework"), that has that line, or can get it, or has a reasonably similar line.

    If "Lucky" is the three-legged, one-eared, one-eyed, neutered dog next door, then what you may need is to find the case work most like what you have, and then to go get one batch of doors to fit (local shop, on-line order, whatever).

    Otherwise, then, you're just having my kind of luck . . . <g>
