Something that I get calls about all the time are the Aluminum Track Kits for 1/4″ thick doors. We offer two options for sizes: small-medium and large. Most of the time, I sell these to schools, businesses, and hobbyists for trophy and award cases, display cases, or reception windows. These are popular kits partially because […]
I was quite excited when we started stocking the Soft-Close Door Bumper from Grass. Many newer cabinets come with soft-close cabinet door hinges. But if you have older or economy cabinets like I do, then they likely have regular self-closing hinges that produce a thud sound when the cabinet door closes. I don’t particularly like […]

One of my favorite parts of my job is when I get to talk to set designers for TV shows and movies. Set designers know that details matter. They can trust that when we say we can get the hardware to them when they need it, we will deliver on that promise. Some of the […]
In front of your sink, in your kitchen, or in your bathroom, you may have a panel or two that don’t do anything. Those are called false fronts—because they don’t open. You actually can make use of those false fronts. If you put a little sink front Tip Out Tray on the back of that […]
