Making Old Cabinets Feel Brand New

Cabinet Revive exists for one simple reason:
Most cabinets are still structurally solid—but the hinges, drawers, and hardware make them feel old, cheap, and annoying to live with.

Instead of tearing out perfectly good cabinets or wandering the hardware aisle guessing at parts, you should be able to upgrade what you already have with confidence.

That’s what our kits are built for.

The Problem We Kept Seeing

Spend enough time around kitchens, shops, and job sites and you see the same story on repeat:

Doors that sag, slam, or won’t stay aligned

Drawers that stick, grind, or never fully close

A mix of random hinges and slides that no one can identify

Homeowners told, “You’ll probably just need a full remodel”

Pros wasting time at big box stores trying to match old hardware by eye

The cabinets themselves usually aren’t the problem.
The hardware is.

But hardware is a weird world:

Hundreds of hinge styles, overlays, and drill patterns

Dozens of drawer slide types and lengths

Zero clear guidance for “normal people” on what fits what

So you get frustration, guesswork, and wasted money on parts that don’t fit.

Why These Kits Exist

These kits were created to solve three very specific pain points:

1. No more guessing in the hardware aisle
   You shouldn’t need to become a hinge nerd to fix your own cabinets.
   Our identification guides and quizzes are designed to translate:
   “I have this weird old hinge” → “You need Kit HK-____, here’s everything included.”

2. Everything in one box, built to work together
   Separate parts mean separate problems:

   Wrong screws

   Missing plates

   Slides that technically fit but work terribly

   Our kits are built as systems—hinges, plates, screws, and instructions that are meant to live together in the same cabinet.

3. Keep the boxes, upgrade the experience
   Full cabinet replacement is expensive, wasteful, and often unnecessary.
   These kits exist so you can:

4. Keep your existing layout

5. Keep your existing doors and boxes

6. Upgrade the way everything feels and functions

Think of it as a mechanical remodel instead of a full tear-out.

How Our Kits Help

Each kit is designed around real-world situations:

Door Hinge Upgrade Kits
For when doors are sagging, slamming, or you want soft-close without replacing cabinets.

Drawer Glide Upgrade Kits
For sticky, uneven drawers or when you want that smooth, full-extension slide you see in new kitchens.

Legacy / Retrofit Kits
For older or exposed hinges that don’t match anything you can find at the store. We’ve done the homework so you don’t have to.

You get:

The right parts

The right screws

Clear, simple instructions

And, where possible, minimal new drilling to respect your existing doors and boxes

Built From Job-Site Reality, Not Just Theory

Cabinet Revive wasn’t dreamed up in a marketing meeting. It grew out of:

Years of hands-on installation work

Seeing what actually fails in real kitchens, shops, and offices

Watching homeowners and contractors hunt for obscure parts that “look close enough” then still don’t fit

The kits are designed the way a working installer would want them:

Logical, labeled components

Hardware chosen for reliability, not just the cheapest option

Instructions that answer, “What happens if my cabinet is slightly different?”

Who We Serve

These kits are for people who care about how their space works day-to-day:

Homeowners who want a cleaner, smoother, quieter kitchen without a $20,000 remodel

Contractors & installers who want a reliable, repeatable solution instead of piecing together hardware every time

Property managers & landlords who need fast upgrades that reduce maintenance calls and improve tenant experience

If you’re tired of doors and drawers fighting you, you’re in the right place.

What Makes Cabinet Revive Different

Focused on upgrades, not just hardware sales
We don’t just sell parts—we design complete upgrade paths.

Identification tools built for real-world cabinets
The quizzes and guides aren’t gimmicks; they exist because hinge naming conventions are insane and you have better things to do.

Kits tuned for performance and value
We care about how your cabinets feel every single day:
the soft-close click, the smooth drawer slide, the door that finally stays where you set it.

Straightforward, no-nonsense info
No fluff, no fake “contractor” language. Just clear answers and a realistic path from “annoying cabinets” to “these actually feel good now.”

Where We’re Headed

The goal isn’t just to sell upgrade kits.

The goal is to become the go-to resource for reviving existing cabinets—whether you’re a DIYer, a contractor, or running multiple properties.

What’s coming as we grow:

More legacy / retrofit solutions for weird old hardware

More step-by-step guides and videos so projects feel approachable

More specialized kits tuned for specific cabinet styles and layouts

Tearing out cabinets will always be an option.
It just shouldn’t be the only option anyone talks about.

In Plain Terms

Cabinet Revive exists because:

Your cabinets probably have more life left in them

You deserve an upgrade path that makes sense

And you shouldn’t need a degree in hinge geometry to fix a crooked door

We’re here to make your cabinets work like they should have from day one—quiet, smooth, and satisfying to use.
