Drawers from A-Z

There are three things to consider with a drawer: the drawer front, the drawer box, and the drawer runner.  Detailed below are the options that we can mix and match from when building your cabinets.

Drawer Front:

There are generally three styles of drawer fronts.  They can be done to compliment or match the door style you have selected.  Again, this is a complicated area, and we have a deep product line here.  Be sure to discuss this area with your salesperson in detail.

  • Slab 3/4" fronts - plain to compliment a particular door.
  • Slab 5/4" fronts - plain with a raise or machined edge to compliment a particular door.
  • 9/8 sandwich fronts - rich appearing with an edge and a panel raise to accent a particular door.
  • 3/2 sandwich fronts - same as 9/8 but with a 1" panel raise
  • 5 piece mortise and tenon 3/4" fronts - to match a particular door. Raised panel.
  • 5 piece mitered 3/4" fronts - to match a particular door. Raised panel.

Drawer Box:
  • Standard drawer box is a 1/2" thick white vinyl drawer.
  • Second standard drawer box is an integrated side/slide drawer Blum Metabox.
  • Third drawer is a 1/2" thick wood drawer box.
  • Fourth drawer is a 1/2" thick wood drawer box with dovetailed corners.
  • Fifth drawer box is a 5/8" thick wood drawer box with dovetailed corners.
Drawer Runner:
All drawer runners are warranted for LIFE.
  • Standard runner is an epoxy coated runner on nylon bearings - 75#
  • Second standard runner is an integrated side/slide drawer Blum Metabox
  • Third drawer runner is a concealed undermount Solo 262
  • Fourth runner is an Accuride ball bearing slide for telescoping applications.
  • Fifth runner is an upgrade concealed undermount Tandem by Blum.
Consult your salesperson and the showroom for examples of each of these applications. We have a drawer that suits you.
