What Affects the Cost of Retrofitted Cupboard Drawers?

The existing cupboard, drawer size, hardware level, runner capacity, cutouts, and special inserts all influence the final quote.

The pricing options page gives useful starting prices. This page explains why the final quote can change after a check measure.

Cupboard type

The base price starts with the cupboard type.

The imported pricing page lists guide prices for:

• single-door under-bench drawer banks
• double-door under-bench drawer banks
• pantry single-door drawer banks

Each type has a different starting point because the drawer bank and installation requirements differ.

Drawer size and quantity

Drawers are priced by size and option level. Small, medium, and large drawers have different guide prices.

More drawers generally increase cost, but the right number depends on what you need to store and how the cupboard is shaped.

Standard, deluxe, and premium options

The imported pricing page describes standard, deluxe, and premium choices.

Standard drawers are soft-close with a 35kg capacity.

Deluxe drawers are Blum Antaro soft-close drawers with a 30kg capacity and optional 65kg runner upgrade.

Premium Blum Legrabox drawers may be quoted separately if you want a higher-end finish.

Runner capacity

Runner capacity matters if you plan to store heavier items.

The imported pricing page lists an additional cost for upgrading deluxe drawer runners to 65kg capacity. This may be relevant for heavy pots, appliances, pantry items, or utility storage.

Sink cutouts and plumbing

Cupboards under sinks may need cutouts or special planning to work around plumbing.

The imported pricing page lists sink cutouts as an extra. A check measure confirms whether this applies.

Special inserts

Bins, wari-corners, spice racks, and pull-out pantry units are not covered by the simple drawer pricing guide.

These options need to be quoted because the hardware and cupboard requirements vary.

See pull-out bins, spice racks, wari-corners and pantry inserts.

Why a check measure is needed

A check measure turns an estimate into a practical quote.

It confirms:

• the real cupboard dimensions
• whether the opening works
• whether doors or hinges affect the design
• whether plumbing or cutouts are needed
• what drawer sizes are realistic
• whether special hardware is required

Once those details are known, the quote can be more accurate.

Next step

Start with pricing options for a rough estimate. Then request a check measure or quote when you want the actual cupboard assessed.
