Direct Answer
Cabo Cabinet Group manufactures four door styles: shaker, slim shaker, slab, and thermofoil. Each is available in painted or stained finishes, and all can be built on either framed or frameless box construction. You specify the exact profile, finish, and construction method. We build to your spec and ship branded as your own product, your name on every box.
Every door includes soft close hardware as standard. Whether you are running 100 apartment units or 2,000, the door style stays consistent across the entire order because we control production in a single 700,000 square foot factory.
Why It Matters
Door style drives three things in a multifamily or production build: cost, install speed, and tenant appeal. Shaker doors deliver the detailed look that leasing agents want for tours, but slab doors can shave minutes off every cabinet install when you are running 40 unit buildings back to back. Thermofoil gives you a seamless painted look without the lead time or defect risk of a traditional paint line.
Consistency matters more than variety when you are managing multiple job sites. A builder running the same door style across six properties can train install crews once, order hardware in bulk, and eliminate the callback rate that comes from mixing profiles. Cabo builds every door in the same facility under the same process controls, so unit 1 and unit 800 match exactly.
How It Works
You send us your door specifications during the quote process: style, finish, dimensions, and box type. We confirm the spec and move into production, about 30 days to build once everything is locked. Delivery by land to a US job site runs under seven days, so you are looking at roughly five weeks total from confirmed spec to cabinets on site. Compare that to 45 to 90 days of ocean transit if you source from Asia, and the schedule advantage becomes clear on a fast track project.
For painted doors, you specify the color. We match it and apply a factory finish that arrives ready to install, no touch up required. Stain finishes work the same way: you define the tone and sheen, we execute it at scale. A typical unit runs 6 to 40 cabinets depending on the floor plan, and we can produce about 8,000 apartment units of cabinetry a month, roughly 200 shipping containers.
Choosing Between Styles for Your Project
Shaker doors work for garden style communities and podium builds where the unit interiors compete with Class A properties nearby. The rail and stile profile adds dimension without custom cost. Slim shaker delivers the same effect with a more contemporary proportion, popular in urban mid rises where the design skews modern.
Slab doors are the volume play. Faster to produce, faster to install, fewer edges to protect during construction. If you are delivering 300 units in four months and the cabinets need to survive drywall dust and rough framers, slab construction reduces both damage and schedule risk. Thermofoil doors give you a flawless painted surface that holds up under job site conditions better than a spray finish, particularly in humid climates or winter builds where paint can fail.
Frameless construction pairs with any door style and opens up interior box space, a small gain per cabinet that adds up across 40 cabinets per unit. Framed boxes are the standard for most US production builds, easier for installers who learned on face frame cabinets. Both methods ship RTA or assembled, depending on whether your install crews prefer speed or lower freight cost.
