This web site has been created to provide the Trade Professionals and the DIY Home Handymen with truly customised cabinetry for Kitchens, laundry, Garage and general Storage, in the shortest possible time and at a vey low extremely competitive costs..
This Website is not designed to teach the art of Cabinet Making nor to offer a dedicated “how to” help desk when it comes to Design and working out the cabinet sizes that are needed.

To order your new cabinetry you specify each cabinet's external dimensions and a few additional details, such as Additional Shelf(s), Left- or Righ Hand Door Hang etc.

Our dedicated product support staff can be contacted on: support@cabinetsondemand.com.au and will be pleased to help you, but they are primarily responsible for answering on-line ordering questions, general transport logistics and web based product offerings.

We also offer a low cost ($69) Assistance with your Kitchen Design Specification - contact support@cabinetsondemand.com.au

But if you have a detailed Kitchen Design with an elevated view that includes detailed cabinet Height, Width and Depth dimensions, for example as per

or

and send this drawing to support@cabinetsondemand.com.au then we will assist in producing a quotation specification. Please identify also the required Finish (Melamine, Vinyl Wrap, Poly-urethane), Shipping Location, Benchtop material etc. as suggested in Considerations

Alternatively Fax the details to 02 6241 8068, from where it will be distributed to a central assistant.

It is expected that anyone buying products from this site has already a good understanding of basic Cabinet Making principles and methodology. Our aim at Cabinets on-Demand is to supply a completely customised flat-pack cabinet that is easy to assemble - but you have to select from the products on offer.

You will be provided with some documentation about each cabinet, but because of the unique nature of what we offer, it will not be a step-by-step guide to assembly.

It is expected that the assembler of the flat-pack cabinetry will have their own basic Cabinet tools (drill, battery drill, hammer, etc). It is the users responsibility to ensure that the cabinet is correctly installed & levelled (fixed into position on-site) and to fix a cabinet to the wall. It is up to the end user to supply the necessary fittings and hardware required to do so.

All the cabinets from Cabinets on-Demand will come with the necessary screws and cams to assemble the cabinet, but not fix it to the wall.

The cabinet parts are all labelled in a logical order to assist in assembly, please take your time setting (laying out) the cabinet parts before starting to screw them together. This simple step may save you a lot of time later.

Each part has a label with a cabinet number on it. The cabinet number corresponds to the line number of the order that you placed. Once you have assembled a few flat-pack cabinets, you will find it is very easy and fast.

Considerations when asking for a Quote

Cabinetry Designs may be a bit complex - there are so many options to consider – but our website makes it possible to bring those options to you, but this is a bit more difficult when we are just working from a sketch, or even a full Kitchen design plan.
We here at Cabinets on-Demand are quite willing to assist you with development of a specific Quote but in return we ask for your cooperation in considering a few options as set out below.

Upon receipt of your answers we will normally be able to provide a detailed Quote for your consideration within a short period of time.

About Shipment and Delivery costs
Cabinets on-Demand organises the production process from its central office in Canberra, actual production may take place in our factory there or at one of our other manufacturing OUTLETs - from where you can pick-up your cabinetry.

Alternatively we can ship the components in a crate to a convenient Freight DEPOT close to you (at a reasonable cost) from where you can pick-up / unpack on a convenient date within office hours.

Home Delivery is also offered but will be at a higher cost and could provide issues in unloading of sometimes heavy crates.
Therefore I ask you if you can please check on “STEP 1: Select OUTLET or Depot” (see left most column on one of our website's Home pages) and advise us your most convenient Outlet or Location, alternatively your Postcode.

Door/Drawer front & Panel materials and colours.
Please check on “STEP 5: Colours & Profiles” what is your preferred finish Style and advise us. We can of course give alternative quotes for different finish options, if required. For further details please check on “Cost Considerations” (see ‘Top Line on each page’)
We have a range of standard colours but can buy in any Colour/Style you require (see: “Your Choice” option), at an additional cost, probably around $150 per Style. The greatest portion of this is the cost of the Edge taping that comes in rather large and expensive rolls.

Fillers and End-panels
Unless your walls are perfectly straight it is likely that gaps may appear when affixing cabinets against an exposed wall . Also Fillers can be nice when cabinets connect in corners, to allow doors to be opened to 110 degrees. Filler pieces of from 20-50mm are commonly specified, that can be shaped on site. Please consider this in your sketch/plan design.

End-panels should be specified where the sides of cabinets are visible, to cover the plain white melamine carcass and any screw holes. Normally in the same colour as the Doors etc. but you can specify a different colour for contrast. Often the sketch/plan submitted does not consider this.

Bench tops.
Cabinets on-Demand at this stage only offers High Pressure Laminate benchtops, 34mm thick, from any laminate supplier/colour specified by you, cut to your specifications.
Please have a look at “ – Benchtops” and then click on and read the “Benchtop Ordering Guidelines”, to ensure you can advise us what postform front and back edge you want (Bullnose/D-round/Square – no difference in cost) as well as Left and Right End finishing needed (Unfinished/Square/Rolled/Banana – cost from $0-$80).
Benchtops also come as Standard, Gloss or Squareform with difference in costs. Prices are in discrete 1000mm length and now up 610mm in normal Width sizes.
So we do need your guidance.

Cabinets
Any size is acceptable, for Base units a general Height of 720mm is assumed if not clearly stated on a plan, with a Width up to 1200mm aiming at a Bench Height of normally 900mm (assuming a 150mm Kickboards). A Depth of 580mm is normal with a benchtop of 600mm giving a 20mm overhang. Wall units are normally 320-350mm in Depth.

Corner cabinets
We have a nice range of corner cabinetry where you can specify different Left and Right Hand Width and Depth to suit your needs up to 1000mm in some cases, for both 90 and 135 degree angles, for floor based or wall cabinets. Please consider in your design as this is more convenient then ‘Blind’ cabinets.

Drawers
Drawers are around 50% greater in cost then the same size cupboards but also can provide 50% more usable space. Soft-closing slides can be used ($73 per drawer extra!).

Hinges
All hinges used are the German engineered precision hinges made by Hettich – we normally use their standard hardware but do offer ‘soft-closing’ hinges ($6.50 extra/hinge) and ‘push-to-open’ hinges ($25 perDoor! But you do not need a handle).
For Upper (Wall cabinets) we normally extend the Door by 20mm to serve as a grip (cost $15 per cabinet).

Kickboards and Facias
Unless specified differently all our floor cabinets have adjustable plastic legs – either short ones 90 -135mm, or 110-165mm, that are covered by a Kickboard. As kickboards cover normally more than one cabinet they can be rather long and may compromise shipment and could be supplied in appropriate pieces.
Please consider the use of the ‘return’ kickboard – is that needed (a bit more fiddly in installation) or should an End-panel be extended to the floor?
By default we use a kickboard height of 150mm and provide them in extra long lengths suitable for onsite cutting to size, if needed.
Facia boards can also be supplied to cover the cabinet – ceiling space if ordered specifically, but we do not offer a range of Architraves to cover the final gap.
I trust these questions are not too onerous and help to identify your needs.

Installation

We provide an Assembly & Installation Guide on DVD for your assistance and if you follow the suggestions then the whole process is quite simple.

If you don't have the time, or necessary skills or tools to complete the job unassisted, then you could try the following listed experienced cabinet installers to assist you. Any costs negotiation will be between you and them.
