Q12 ™ is a combination of 12 significant standards of quality.

Identifying quality kitchen cabinets doesn’t have to be a mystery. Know what to look for to ensure you get cabinets that maintain their beauty and efficiency for years. Trust your taste and ensure high standards throughout production for lasting value.

Q1 - Quality Sourced Lumber

The Q12 standard mandates top-grade lumber for the finest, most reliable kitchen cabinets. Adhering to this standard involves a rigorous inspection process to ensure only top-quality products are delivered.

Q2 - Pro Touch Technique

A Q12 assessment demands expert finishing techniques that enhance first impressions and ensure a lasting, easy-to-maintain finish. Cabinets finished with top-brand paints or stains offer durability and long-lasting beauty.

Q3 - Dovetail in Legacy Cabinets

Q12 legacy cabinets use dovetail construction for a secure, durable build. This technique features plywood side panels that interlock with a solid wood face frame through precise dovetail grooves.

Q4 - Anti-Warp Structures

The anti-warp feature uses plywood panels with rigid reinforcement beams, secured by dovetail construction. This ensures a strong, reliable cabinet that resists distortion.

Q5 - Wooden Corner Blocks

To meet Q12 legacy standards, cabinets must use wood for structural integrity. Wooden corner blocks ensure a cohesive, all-wood design.

Q6 - Solid Back Builds

For superior longevity, Q12 standards require cabinet backs to be made from a single piece of solid half-inch plywood. This ensures durable strength and dimensional stability.

Q7 - Flush Fit Frames

Q12 compliance requires flush inner frames for an attractive appearance and added dimension. Cabinets must feature flat top and bottom interior planes, ensuring prime craftsmanship and practical use.

Q8 - Finished Interiors

Q12 cabinets feature treated and finished interiors, reflecting superior quality and attention to detail. This approach avoids issues like bubbling, peeling, and chipping, ensuring a refined, durable design.

Q9 - Soft-Closing Action

Q12 qualification includes compact hinges with a soft-close mechanism, such as Blum's Tandem Plus Blumotion. This ensures smooth, gentle, and fluid cabinet operation.

Q10 - Fluis Full-Extension

Q12 cabinets feature smooth full-extension glides, like Blum's Tandem Plus runners with soft-closing technology. This ensures optimal storage capacity, precise space utilization, and durability.

Q11 - EZ Level Drawer Fronts

Q12 cabinets use a precise system for door alignment and function, featuring circular discs for easy 3/8” adjustments. This ensures perfectly positioned drawer faces and a balanced, aesthetically pleasing design.

Q12 - Sealed Signature

The final Q12 metric involves a comprehensive review at each manufacturing stage to ensure adherence to quality standards. A stamp of approval at factory exit signifies a commitment to quality control from Q1 to Q12, guaranteeing a superior end product.
