Cabinet Collections
Five collections cover most kitchen and bathroom styles. Each is available in base, wall, and tall configurations in standard 3-inch increments.

Gray shaker cabinets with a modern, trendy look. Medium-tone gray finish works well in contemporary kitchens and pairs with white quartz or marble countertops.
Monroe
Raised panel cabinets with a traditional, classic profile. Cathedral-style arched center panel in a warm white finish. Best for kitchens that lean traditional or transitional.
Creston
Natural wood-tone laminate cabinets with a warm, organic feel. Light oak-inspired grain pattern adds warmth without the maintenance of real wood. Flat panel shaker profile.
Webster
Dark espresso wood-tone laminate cabinets with a dramatic, rich look. Deep brown-black finish adds depth to larger kitchens. Works well with lighter countertops and backsplashes.

Buying Guide
How to Choose and Buy RELIABILT Cabinets
Match a Collection to Your Style
Start with the look you want. If your kitchen leans modern or farmhouse, Fairplay (white shaker) and Overlake (gray shaker) are the safest picks and the easiest to resell. Traditional homes with arched doorways and crown moulding suit Monroe's raised panel. Creston and Webster add wood-tone warmth or drama without the cost of real wood cabinets.
How to Measure a Kitchen
Sketch your kitchen from above. Measure each wall from corner to corner. Note the location and width of windows, doors, appliances, and plumbing. Measure the distance from the floor to the ceiling. Standard base cabinets are 34.5 inches tall (36 inches with a countertop). Wall cabinets hang 18 inches above the counter and come in 30-inch and 36-inch heights. Take every measurement twice and use the smaller number.
What Comes in the Box
RELIABILT stock cabinets ship fully assembled. Each unit includes the cabinet box, door(s), drawer(s) with slides, hinges (soft-close on most models), and adjustable shelves. Hardware such as knobs and pulls is sold separately. Semi-custom cabinets also ship assembled but may need minor hinge adjustments on site.
Soft-Close Hinges
RELIABILT cabinets use standard European-style concealed hinges with a 35mm cup size. Most current models include soft-close damping built into the hinge. If you need a replacement, any 35mm European concealed hinge will fit. Blum and Liberty brand hinges sold at Lowe's are direct drop-in replacements.
Cabinet Hardware
Knobs, pulls, and handles are not included with RELIABILT cabinets. Choose hardware that matches the finish of your faucet and light fixtures for a cohesive look. RELIABILT sells matching knobs and pulls in satin nickel, matte black, and aged bronze. See the full selection on our RELIABILT knobs and hardware page.
When to Hire a Pro
A confident DIYer with a helper can install stock cabinets in a weekend. Hire a professional if your walls are badly out of plumb, you are moving plumbing or electrical, or the layout includes corner cabinets with lazy susans that need precise alignment. Lowe's offers cabinet installation services starting around $150 per linear foot, which includes measurement, delivery, and install.
