Oak Ridge Cabinets has been a member of the community providing custom cabinetry at affordable prices for over 30 years. Since beginning production in 1983, the determination of owners Scott Bechhold and Sam MacNeill to fulfill this mission has led to the creation of a self-contained, technologically advanced manufacturing plant that matches craftsmanship with precision equipment. Cabinets made by Oak Ridge Cabinets come in a variety of styles and wood types, and we service all phases of the construction and remodeling industry, including retail, commercial, industrial, and custom homes.

We offer a full service 25,000 Sq. Ft. shop with manufacturing capabilities that include frame and frameless cabinets, in-house full-spectrum finishing (we use conversion varnish), in-house manufactured doors, CAD/CNC capability with full-bore design and color rendering for clients, limitless molding options, onsite showroom, an in-house professional installation team, W.I.C. Capable, and membership in the NKBA. Our in-house design engineers create free estimates with to-scale drawings for our potential clients.

Wood Finishes

For best results and preservation of the finish and wood, we recommend cleaning the cabinets with a warm damp cloth followed by a dry cloth.
Below are cleaning recommendations from our finish suppliers:

Remove dust- Dust can scratch or dull if not removed correctly. Simply wipe the surface with a cloth dampened with a non-abrasive, mild cleaning polish or mild detergent.
Clean- Surfaces should be periodically cleaned to restore the finish to its original luster. Wipe the surface with a cloth dampened with a non-wax containing polish or mild detergent solution. Avoid the use of ammonia based products or silicone oils as they may cause damage if used over a long period of time.
The finish is durable and resistant to most household spills. However, spills should be wiped up promptly to avoid potential problems.
Excessive or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, high temperatures and high humidity can cause damage to both the finish and the wood itself. Please be careful and avoid if possible.

Following these simple steps will keep your finished project looking like new for many years.

Heat-Producing Appliances

We recommend that you do not mount heat-producing appliances (such as coffeemakers and toaster ovens) beneath cabinets. Excess heat and moisture from these appliances can damage the cabinets.

Loads and Weight Limits

Properly installed cabinets can safely support an evenly distributed load of 15 pounds per square foot of shelf, tray and drawer space, up to a maximum of 50 pounds. Be sure that you load all cabinet bottoms, shelves and trays evenly.

Manufacturing Processes Utilized:

CAD/CNC capability

Interior Finishes

We use melamine, a durable, white coating over fiberboard that is less susceptible to water damage and provides a smooth, bright, easy to clean interior. For those who prefer the old-fashioned integrity of plywood, Oak Ridge offers the interior option of maple plywood. Although this material doesn't offer the easy maintenance of melamine, it is extremely strong and durable.

Hinges

Oak Ridge uses concealed European hinges. Our Salice hinges are totally hidden from view and offer a very clean exterior look to the cabinets. The Euro hinges are fully adjustable and very strong.

Drawer Guides

The Oak Ridge standard is the Mepla Alfit Euro Slide. It has a 7/8 extension and a 75lb weight capacity. These guides are tough performers with a very low failure rate. For extreme loads and use, an upgrade would be the KV 8400. These are full extension guides rated at 100lb capacity and roll on quiet ball bearings. Other upgrades available would be the concealed under-mount Blum or Mepla slides. These upgrades also come with a self-closing option.
