Doors

Doors are precut ply wood of the same material as cabinets. They're actually cut from the same slab, so the natural grain matches flawlessly. These doors are supported with soft close adjustable hinges with gas piston lift assist to keep the doors open when loading/unloading. Satin steel pushbutton latches keep your doors shut when on rough terrain and serve as a door pull when engaged. Note: White, Black, Bleached Blackwood and Latitude White are particle core laminates and will have exposed grains inside of the doors. The doors on these material choices are square with no round edges.

Important things to know:

- We can not offer returns or refunds on this product.
- We are not responsible for damages during shipping. If your product arrives damaged, please get in touch. We will work through getting your cabinets replaced and open the necessary case(s) with the carrier.

- 48" cabinets come with two doors (24" halves)
- Lumber pattern is not guaranteed. This comes from raw lumber and varies in tint, shade, and grain. Small defects in the veneer also occur occasionally and I make a great effort not to use any lumber with serious flaws.
- White, black, bleached blackwood, and latitude white are particle core laminates, not plywood. For this reason, they're 15% heavier and rated for less loading weight than plywood options.

FAQs

• What is the difference between the standard plywood options and the new white + black color options?

White, Black, Bleached Blackwood, and Latitude white are particle core laminates. For this reason, they're 15% heavier than plywood and rated for less loading weight. These materials are also not bendable for rounded overhead cabinetry and will only work for squared cabinets.

• What is "Item Personalization" in my cart?

Item personalization is a the additional cost of your material and add-on choices when personalizing your cabinetry products. Each cabinet carries a constant base-price and the additions are added in the form of the "Item Personalization" charge. 

• What are the differences in material choice for upper cabinetry?

All upper cabinetry materials are made from the same paint-grade plywood used in custom kitchen builds and designed to withstand years of daily use.

Prefinished Maple

• Semigloss finish
• Does not take stains or seals
• Takes very well to paint
• No finish work needed - already sealed and protected
• Lightweight and durable

Unfinished Maple:

• Lighter shade
• Takes very well to lighter stains or whitewash stains
• Takes very poorly to dark stains
• Very easy to paint
• Can take mineral oil/finishing oil for a nice light finish
• Sealing recommended, but not required
• Lightweight and durable

Unfinished Alder:

• Natural shade is darker and has a red pigmentation
• Takes poorly to light stains or whitewash stains
• Takes very well to dark stains
• Very easy to paint
• Sealing recommended, but not required 
• 15% heavier than maple

• How do I apply paint, stain, or sealer?

If you plan on painting:

• lightly scuff the entire surface of the cabinet that you plan on coating with 120-180 grit sandpaper.
• Apply 2-3 coats of primer prior to applying your main coat.
• Always apply a finish when you're happy with the paint to get a long lasting appearance.

If you plan on staining:

• Sand the surface on all faces with sandpaper traveling with the grain of the wood.
• Apply stain very cautiously to a section of the cabinet that will not be visible to gage the volume and pressure you need to achieve the look you want.
• Apply stain evenly with a rag, sponge, or spray gun until all surfaces are coated.
• Please note that overlapping surfaces may make the stain darker on the overlapped areas.
• Always apply a finish when you're happy with the stain to get a long lasting appearance.

For Butcher Blocks and Slabs

• For most units, there are phillips head screws holding the butcher block to the cabinet base that will need to be removed.
• If staining, sand the butcher block thoroughly with 120-180 grit sandpaper. 
  • Apply a sample on the underside of the butcher block to find a volume and pressure that achieves the color you'd like.
  • Apply stain evenly with a rag, sponge, or spray gun until all surfaces are coated.
  • Please note that overlapping surfaces may make the stain darker on the overlapped areas.
  • Always apply a food-grade finish when you're happy with the stain to get a long lasting appearance.
• If sealing with oil or wax, make sure the oil or wax is food grade and apply evenly with a soft rag or sponge. 
  • Allow to dry and re-coat one or two more times.

• The Promaster only has one beam in the front to mount to. What should I do?

Our Promaster upper cabinets should mount to more than one beam, but as noted it's not long enough to hit two. For this reason, we recommend using fasteners liberally to join the cabinets to the ceiling panels. We've seen great success from using standard wall anchors designed for studs (The metal variant) or other wall anchors designed to open up and expand behind the ceiling panel.

It's also recommended to use rivet nuts or similar anchoring method to join the cabinets to the horizontal beam running the length of the vehicle along the bottom/back of the cabinet.
