Do you have shaker style cabinets?

Direct Answer

Yes. Cabo Cabinet Group manufactures shaker style cabinets in both classic five piece shaker and slim shaker profiles. These are available in painted or stained finishes across kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, and closet systems. You can specify framed or frameless construction, RTA or fully assembled delivery, all with soft close hardware standard. The shaker door is one of three primary door styles Cabo runs at volume, alongside slab doors and thermofoil options.

Shaker is a workhorse door style in multifamily and residential construction. It crosses price points, fits traditional and transitional interiors, and holds up to the wear patterns you see in rental units and first time buyer homes. Cabo runs shaker doors in production volumes that match the scale of apartment complexes, townhome developments, and tract builder programs.

Why It Matters

The shaker door solves a practical problem for high volume buyers: it delivers a finished, detailed look without the cost or lead time penalties of custom millwork. The five piece rail and stile construction gives you shadow lines and depth that photograph well for leasing agents and sales centers, which matters when you are pre leasing units or selling off plan.

For a builder running 200 or 500 units a year, shaker works across multiple product tiers. You can run a painted white shaker in your entry level units and a stained walnut or gray shaker in premium units, all from the same manufacturing line and the same lead time. That flexibility keeps your spec process simple and your installation crews working with familiar profiles.

Slim shaker gives you the same visual language with a more contemporary proportion. The narrower rail width reads cleaner in smaller kitchens and urban floor plans where cabinet runs are tight. It is the same construction method and the same lead time, just a different profile.

How It Works

You specify the door style, the finish, and the box construction when you submit your project spec. Cabo builds to your exact specification: door style, paint color or stain, box type, hardware. A typical unit runs 6 to 40 cabinets depending on the floor plan. Once the spec is confirmed, production runs about 30 days, then under 7 days delivery by land to your US job site. Total timeline from confirmed spec to cabinets on site is roughly five weeks.

Shaker doors are part of the standard production program, not a custom add on or an upcharge category. The 700,000 square foot factory in Mexico runs these profiles daily across about 8,000 apartment units of cabinetry per month, roughly 200 shipping containers. Whether you need 10 units or 1,000 units, the door style does not change the lead time or the process.

What to Specify

When you write the cabinet spec for a shaker door project, include the door profile, classic shaker or slim shaker. Specify painted or stained, and provide the color or stain sample. Indicate framed or frameless box construction and whether you want RTA or assembled delivery. Soft close hardware is standard.

For paint, a white or gray shaker is the volume play in multifamily. It covers the widest range of interior finishes and holds resale value. For stained shaker, specify the wood species and the stain transparency. Walnut, oak, and maple are common.

Cabo works in partnerships over years, so the first project establishes the spec and the rhythm. After that, you are reordering a known profile with known pricing and known lead times. National Accounts is the program for the highest volume buyers who need that consistency across multiple projects and multiple years.
