What are Framed Cabinets?

Just as the name suggests, you will find framed cabinets are simply cabinets with a face frame that covers the front of the cabinet box. It is commonly known as American Style or Traditional cabinetry. Our Freedom series’s style options offer contemporary and transitional doors as well. The doors of a framed cabinet attach to the face frame itself, allowing more stability for the box creating a strong sturdy cabinet. However, you will have a smaller opening with face frame cabinets since the addition of a frame will slightly create less storage space for the cabinet box. To help with this, our cabinet boxes, at Freedom, do not have a center stile allowing more accessibility than most framed cabinets in the industry.

What are Full Access Cabinets?

Frameless cabinets do not have a face frame and are also known as “full access” cabinets, European Style, or Modern Cabinetry. A Full Access box offers more ease of access and storage space by removing the face frame. Due to this, the box is typically thicker to add more stability to the construction. A frameless cabinet also has a sleeker look to it with seamless lines, and the doors attached directly to the box. Our Liberty Series offers several frameless doors that provide homeowners a simple and modern appeal to their home. You will see only full overlay doors used in frameless cabinets since the hinges are attached directly to the side of the cabinet box.
