CabParts Cabinet Boxes are produced from an extensive catalog
of over 1,500 modular sized and configured cases, but retain the
ability for full customization. In fact, more than 60% of CabParts’
production is custom sized and / or configured. All orders are cut and
milled for that specific job. Each component is clearly labeled with
the customer’s (not CabPart’s) name, item number and part name
for efficient identification and assembly. Assembly is accomplished
with Confirmat screw, hardwood dowels or a combination of the two
methods. All hardwood dowels are factory inserted and Confirmat
screws, when ordered, are provided with each order. A wide range of
materials, both 3/4” and 5/8” thick, are available, including Thermo-
fused melamines MDF, either raw or veneered, plywoods, prefinished
or raw, laid-up High Pressure plastic laminates and, of course, the
certified “green” products. Edgebanding choices are comprehensive
as well – PVC in .018mm thick to 3mm thick, wood veneers, 3mm
solid unfinished wood and high pressure plastic laminates. The box
edges may also be left unedged in order to accept a customer-applied
face frame. They have recently invested in a laminating system al-
lowing CabParts to do custom layups from individual components up
to full sheets. Perhaps you need an exposed left end of rift cut white
oak veneer on a black melamine cabinet box – done!

CabParts standard Drawer Boxes are sized order specific so they
match the cabinet boxes on a customer’s order. Standard drawer
materials are 5/8” thick, thermofused melamines with a fully housed

firmat screw assembly to name a few. CabParts also offers optional
solid wood, factory finished, dovetailed drawer boxes in a variety of
wood species and configurations including sizing and pre-machining

Blum TandemBox, LegraBox, MetaBox and Hafele Moovit drawer

CabParts produces in-house, contemporary, slab-style, flush-overlay
doors and drawer fronts which may be ordered either with CabParts
boxes or separately. The many available panel and edgeband options
make for a tremendous number of possibilities. CabParts can also
grain match fronts, either vertically or horizontally, within cabinet
units meeting AWI Custom grade. For other door styles and types,
CabParts is happy to assist in outsourcing fronts from a number of
quality cabinet door manufacturers.
CabParts manufactures a flexible, wall hung panel system for Closets
and Storage application. The system includes the end panels, lock-
ing shelves, adjustable shelves, drawer boxes, rollout shelves, shoe
shelves, doors and drawer fronts, wire baskets, tie racks etc. Closet
Components may be combined with CabParts cabinet boxes for a
complete closet solution and the materials, edgeband treatment and
