Hardware is the jewelry of a cabinet — and in a Plano kitchen where the cabinets themselves may cost $30,000 or more, the wrong pull can undo months of design work. We spend as much time on hardware selection with clients from Willow Bend, Prestonwood, Stonebriar and Legacy West as we do on door style, because getting hinges, slides, and visible pulls right is what separates a good remodel from a great one.
Our shop keeps a wall of over 200 samples — solid unlacquered brass cup pulls that patina beautifully, polished nickel bin pulls for transitional kitchens, matte black bar pulls for modern West Plano builds, and porcelain knobs for the occasional cottage bath. On the functional side we standardize on Blum and Salice European hinges with integrated soft-close, and Blum Tandem or Salice Futura undermount slides rated at 100+ pounds. Every one of those is quiet after ten years — which is not something we can say about the big-box brands.
Hardware ties every other service together. Whether you're planning a full custom design and fabrication project, a targeted refacing and refinishing upgrade, or a repair and restoration of a favorite older kitchen, we help you pair finishes with material and finish consultation and lock the details before installation day.

Hardware Categories We Specify
From the invisible workhorses to the pulls guests actually touch — here is what we recommend and why.
Hinges: Blum & Salice Concealed
Blum Clip Top and Salice Air hinges dominate our concealed-hinge work. Both offer 110°–170° opening options, integrated soft-close, and three-way adjustment so we can dial doors in on install day and re-adjust years later.
- 100,000-cycle rated
- Six-way tool-free adjustment
- Soft-close standard
- Lifetime mechanical warranty
Drawer Slides: Undermount, Full-Extension
Blum Tandem and Salice Futura undermount slides are invisible from above and rated to 100 lbs. We upgrade to 150-lb slides for heavy pull-out pantries and pot-and-pan drawers.
- Full extension access
- 100–150 lb capacity
- Servo-Drive optional
- Blumotion soft-close
Visible Pulls, Knobs & Latches
This is where the room's personality shows. Unlacquered brass, polished nickel, matte black, aged bronze, hand-forged iron, glass, porcelain — we source from Rocky Mountain, Emtek, Top Knobs, Rejuvenation, and House of Antique Hardware and we jig every hole.
- 200+ samples in the shop
- Solid brass, not plated
- Every hole jigged and referenced

Plano Homeowners on This Work

Frequently Asked Questions
What hardware brands do you recommend for Plano kitchens?
For hinges and drawer slides we specify Blum (Austrian) or Salice (Italian) — both soft-close, both rated for 100,000+ cycles. For visible pulls and knobs we work with Top Knobs, Emtek, Rejuvenation, and Rocky Mountain Hardware depending on the design.
Can I supply my own hardware?
Absolutely. Many Plano homeowners buy their own decorative pulls from House of Antique Hardware, Rejuvenation, or Etsy. We'll drill, jig, and install what you send — just confirm center-to-center sizing before ordering.
Do you offer unlacquered brass pulls that patina over time?
Yes. Unlacquered solid brass from Rocky Mountain, Rejuvenation, and Emtek is one of the most-requested finishes in West Plano and Frisco right now. We'll walk you through what the patina actually looks like at 6 months and 3 years.
What's the difference between full-overlay and inset hinges?
Full-overlay uses concealed European (Blum/Salice) cup hinges — quiet, adjustable, invisible. Inset construction typically uses exposed knife hinges or barrel hinges for a furniture look, which cost more and require tighter reveals.
Do you install push-to-open hardware for handleless designs?
Yes. Blum Tip-On and Servo-Drive systems work well for modern handleless kitchens. We caution homeowners with young children about Servo-Drive on lower drawers.
How many pulls does a typical Plano kitchen need?
A standard 24-linear-foot kitchen with a pantry usually takes 28–36 pulls and knobs. Budget accordingly — solid brass at $18–$45 per pull adds up quickly.
Can you retrofit soft-close on my existing cabinets?
In most cases yes — Blum Blumotion adapters clip onto existing Euro hinges, and undermount soft-close slides can replace old side-mount slides. Ask about our repair and restoration option.
Do you jig pulls or drill freehand?
Always jigged. Every pull is drilled with a True Position or shop-built jig referenced from the same edge, so pulls sit at the exact same offset across every door and drawer front.
Do you carry hardware samples I can hold before deciding?
Yes — our Ingram Drive shop has a hardware wall with 200+ pulls, knobs, and hinges you can touch. Most Plano clients spend 20–30 minutes here narrowing the field.
