Cabinet Hardware for Joinery and Fit-Out Projects in GCC

Separate hardware by application

Kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, bathroom vanities, office furniture and display units may need different hinges, drawer slides, lift systems and fittings.

Group line items by cabinet type and drawing reference rather than by generic product name only.

Use room or unit references carefully

Room references help receiving and installation, but they should not replace technical specifications. Keep item codes stable across drawings, BOM and carton labels.

For phased projects, note which quantities belong to each shipment or project stage.

Confirm samples and substitutions

Approved samples should define model, finish, accessory pack and packing format. Any alternative model should be reviewed against the original application.

Photos help but should be supported with dimensions or drawings.

RFQ summary

Send the drawing package, BOM, destination, packing labels and schedule through the GCC sourcing page.

Supplier evaluation

Compare quotations on specification, not unit price alone

Two cabinet-hardware quotations are only comparable when the product configuration is the same. Check dimensions, material, finish, mounting method, load or door data, closing function, accessories and packing quantity. A lower unit price may reflect a different model, missing accessories or lighter packing.

Ask the supplier to reference every quoted item to the drawing, BOM or target sample. Record open questions separately from confirmed specifications. This makes technical review faster and prevents an unconfirmed assumption from becoming part of the purchase order.

Order control

Use approved samples and stable item references

Before bulk production, confirm a sample or a documented reference for each important configuration. The approval record should include the item code, revision date, drawing, finish, accessory pack and packaging format. Photos are useful supporting evidence, but dimensions and functional requirements should remain the primary reference.

For repeat orders, keep the approved item code unchanged unless the specification changes. If a substitution is proposed, review it as a new configuration instead of assuming equivalence. Stable references improve receiving checks, reduce installation questions and help purchasing teams compare later quotations.

For a drawing-based quotation, send the available PDF, DWG, DXF, product photo, BOM and quantity through the CabFitCo RFQ form. Include the destination market and required delivery schedule so packing and consolidation can be reviewed with the product specification.
