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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Lowe's carries three main cabinet brands at different price points. Here is how they stack up.
| Project Source | Lowest price at Lowe's. Basic particleboard construction with white thermofoil. Limited sizes and no soft-close hinges. Best for laundry rooms, garages, and rental units where cost matters most. |
| RELIABILT | Mid-range. Better construction, five collections with different finishes and door styles, soft-close hinges standard. The sweet spot for primary home kitchens on a budget. |
| Diamond NOW | Higher end. Plywood box construction, dovetail drawers, premium finishes, and more door style options. For homeowners who want quality a step below fully custom cabinets without the custom price tag. |
