Also let me know who your provider is. I'm running on a hot spot from Verizon. Maybe it's just me!!

Face frame cabinet boxes for cabinet makers.

09/12/2014

We are talking to a large cabinet door manufacturing company about partnering to supply their existing customers with an option to also purchase the cabinet box and drawers. We have supplied the individual homeowner in the past.

This is turning into an interesting conversation as they supply products to the cabinet making industry.

We sent a sample cabinet to them to see and put together. Here are their comments.
1. Once glued and assembled, these are built like a brick S__t house. I take that as a compliment.
2. The design has combined the traditional Face Frame construction with the ease of the “Frameless” construction.
a. The need for the back bracket, with Face Frame construction, on the drawer sides is eliminated. Since the slides are attached to the side of the cabinet the “leverage” force of the drawer is spread across the side of the cabinet instead of focused on the back, which will result in far less drawer problems for the consumer in the future.
b. The problem of glue failure with edge banding on Frameless cabinets is eliminated due to the face frame.
3. If these cabinets go into rental units or condos, there is no need for a new cabinet when the new occupant wants a different look or the cabinets get beat up. Simply order new face frames, drawer fronts and doors. Back the screws out on the face frames and replace. Much cheaper and easier way to “reface” than current methods.

They have placed their first order. Orders for 460 cabinets are pending. This is in the 1st month. It will be interesting to see where this goes.

RTA/DIY cabinet line update.

A fella called a couple days ago and asked "Are you sure your price for finishing is right?" Sure enough it wasn't. I'd had a fat finger attack resulting in way high costs for the "finished" option. It's now corrected. Thanks for the call Jim!!!!!!

We've also been looking at providing some volume discounts and shipping pricing on our spreadsheet for some time now. After a few days of pouring over the numbers, we are now able to offer volume discounts as well as set "banded" shipping rates which ,at a certain volume, result in FREE SHIPPING.

These customer benefits are due to 2 factors. Software enhancements we've made and a few shop made gizmo's that have really help cut time. These gizmo's will be the topic of the next posts, so stay tuned.
