CabParts

abParts, located in Grand Junction, Colorado, began business
as Bookcliff Manufacturing, Inc., a full service custom cabinet
C manufacturing business with regional distributors. Started in the
early 1980s, they specialized in high-end, European style frameless
cabinetry for both residential and commercial applications. They
invested in top notch machinery to speed the manufacturing process
and devised ways to assemble cabinet boxes quickly and accurately.
For example, a sink cabinet had to have flush, even joints and be
square the first time – with no racking and tapping to align joints or
to square the case. Much of the work was centered in the ski and re-
sort areas of the West, and as such, was seasonal. It is nearly impossi- A large walk-in closet, new construction, Las Vegas, Nevada.
ble to install high end kitchens and vanities during ski season, so they CapParts supplied all but the trim.
filled in with commercial work. Those cabinet boxes were noticed
on jobsites as being very square, flat and level and in early 1987 they
began to think … What if?

As a result, since March of 1987, CabParts, Inc., has produced
easily-assembled, high-quality, frameless-style cabinet boxes shipped
factory direct to cabinet makers, general contractors, millwork shops,
facilities managers, design / build firms and more. Their approach to
cabinet case construction incorporates the best features of European-
origin case construction and 32mm boring patterns using precise,
European, CNC machinery and top notch employees, many of whom
have been with CabParts now for 10, 15 or 20+ years.
