Warranties
Cabinet warranties will vary by manufacturer. It will take a year or so from the date your kitchen is finished for it to fully “adjust”. If there is a defect, you will know it by then, so anything beyond a two or three-year warranty is pointless.
Warranties will usually only cover manufacturer defects and will not cover the cost to remove, reinstall or ship cabinets or parts back to the manufacturer.
If a child uses a drawer bank for a set of stairs and damages the cabinet, this is not a manufacturer’s defect.
If a door splits because someone fell upon it and it opened beyond it’s 107-degree hinges, this is not a manufacturer’s defect.
Should a cabinet needed to be replaced and the countertops and plumbing need to be removed to do this, the only thing the warranty will cover is the new cabinet and only if it is defective. The money paid to get the cabinet out (and reinstalled) and returned to the cabinet manufacturer is at your own expense, even if it is a manufacturer’s defect.
Most all hinges and drawer guides have a lifetime warranty.
