Direct Answer
Yes. Cabo Cabinet Group manufactures slab doors, the flat panel style specified for contemporary and modern projects. A slab door is a single flat panel with no frame, no rail, no raised detail. We produce slab doors in three finishes: painted, stained, and thermofoil. All three work for kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities and closet systems. Volume starts at 6 cabinets per unit and runs to 40 or more for larger apartments or commercial spaces. Our 700,000 square foot factory in Mexico produces about 8,000 apartment units of cabinetry a month, and slab doors make up a significant share of that output because developers and contractors building multifamily properties favor the clean lines and lower cost.
Why It Matters
Slab doors cost less to manufacture than shaker or other profiled styles because there is no milling of rails and stiles, no assembly of a five piece door. That savings transfers to your project budget. A slab door also installs faster. There are no reveals or joints to align, so your install crew moves through units more quickly. The style reads as contemporary, which is what most multifamily developers specify today. Residents expect it, and it photographs well for leasing marketing. A painted white slab door in a rental unit delivers a modern look without the price of a European frameless system. Thermofoil slab doors, which we also offer, add durability in humid climates or high turnover properties where painted surfaces might chip or peel over years of tenant use.
How It Works
You specify slab doors when you submit your cabinet layout and elevations. We build the doors to your exact dimensions, whether you are ordering framed or frameless boxes, RTA or assembled. Painted slab doors ship in white or your specified color. Stained slab doors ship in standard wood species and stain colors. Thermofoil slab doors are wrapped in a rigid, moisture resistant surface that holds up in bathrooms and kitchens. All doors include soft close hardware as standard. Timeline is about 30 days production once we confirm your spec, then under 7 days delivery by land to your US job site. You receive cabinets on site in roughly five weeks from the day we lock in your specifications. That speed matters when you are coordinating multiple trades and a fixed occupancy date. We ship branded as your own, your name on every box, so the cabinets arrive as your product to the installer and the property owner.
What to Specify
When you order slab door cabinets, clarify three things in your specification. First, the finish: painted, stained or thermofoil. Painted is most common for multifamily because it is clean and neutral. Stained works for projects where wood tone fits the design palette. Thermofoil adds impact resistance and moisture protection. Second, the box construction: framed or frameless. Frameless boxes with slab doors give you a full overlay European look. Framed boxes with slab doors give you a contemporary style at a lower price point, and they are easier for most US install crews to work with. Third, the shipping format: RTA or assembled. RTA reduces your freight cost and works well if your crew has cabinet assembly experience. Assembled cabinets cost more to ship but go in faster on site. All three decisions affect your project cost and schedule, so lock them in before you request a quote. We manufacture to your spec, and we do not stock or substitute. What you specify is what we build and ship.
