What Kind of Custom Cabinets Can You Actually Get? A Real Look at What’s Out There
Don't get boring cabinets, make your cabinets the talk of the town!
When most people think of custom cabinets, they picture new kitchen cupboards and fancy finishes. But the truth is—custom cabinetry can be so much more than just pretty doors and drawer fronts.
At Spearfish Building Supply, we work with homeowners, contractors, and designers to build cabinetry that actually fits the way you live. Whether you’re remodeling your kitchen, building a new home, or just trying to make better use of space, we’ll help you figure out what works best for your lifestyle, your space, and your budget.
Here’s a breakdown of some popular (and surprisingly cool) types of custom cabinetry that are available today—and why they might be exactly what you didn’t know you needed.
1. Soft-Close & Automatic-Close Cabinets
You don’t realize how much you love soft-close drawers until you have them. These use hidden hinges or drawer glides that gently pull the cabinet shut—no slamming, no noise, no pinched fingers.
Why it’s worth it:
Makes your kitchen or bathroom feel more high-end
Helps cabinets last longer by reducing wear-and-tear
Adds resale value
Real talk: Once you have soft-close cabinets, you’ll never go back.
2. Touch-to-Open Cabinets (Handle-Free)
These are a favorite for modern or minimalist homes, or for people who just hate fingerprints on hardware. With a gentle tap, the drawer or door pops open. Some versions are electric; others are mechanical.
Why people love them:
Super clean, sleek look
Great for hands-free use (like when you’re cooking)
Makes small spaces feel bigger without bulky handles
Heads up: If you go with the electric version, make sure to plan for power access.
3. Pull-Out Storage, Drawers & Organizers
This is where custom cabinetry really starts to shine. Pull-out spice racks, sliding pantry drawers, hidden trash bins, drawer dividers, and tray organizers make your kitchen (or bathroom) way more functional.
Why it’s worth it:
You’ll use every inch of space
No more digging through cluttered cabinets
Makes daily life so much easier
Pro tip: Pull-out organizers are one of the most-requested features during kitchen remodels—and for good reason.
4. Appliance-Ready & Panel-Front Cabinets
Want a clean, seamless look in your kitchen? You can now disguise appliances like dishwashers, fridges, and microwaves with cabinet-matching panels.
Why people love it:
Gives kitchens a built-in, high-end look
Keeps the focus on design, not hardware
Helps small kitchens feel more open
Note: Not all appliances work with panels, so it’s best to check early in your planning.
5. Built-In Charging Drawers
Yep, you can actually get drawers with USB outlets and power strips built in. Perfect for kitchens, mudrooms, and home offices—anywhere phones, tablets, or laptops tend to pile up.
Why it’s smart:
Keeps your countertops clean
Hides cords and chargers
Everyone has a go-to spot to charge their stuff
Good to know: These can be wired in during install—just mention it early in the design phase.
6. Hidden Storage & Secret Compartments
It’s not just for spy movies. Hidden drawers, false-bottom cabinets, and concealed wall units are becoming more common—especially for things like liquor storage, important documents, or just keeping clutter out of sight.
Why it’s cool:
Adds a fun “wow” factor
Keeps valuables or messy stuff tucked away
Can be totally invisible to guests
Just ask: We’ve helped folks design secret drawers into kitchen islands, built-in bookcases, and even fireplace surrounds.
7. Outdoor Cabinets That Stand Up to Weather
Outdoor kitchens are a big trend—and yes, you can get custom cabinets made for the outdoors. These aren’t just repurposed indoor units—they’re built from materials like marine-grade polymer or stainless steel that can handle sun, snow, and rain.
Why people install them:
Great for hosting cookouts or parties
Adds function to your patio or backyard
Looks amazing and holds up for years
Best for: Covered patios, BBQ stations, pool areas, or even garages.
8. LED Lighting Inside & Under Cabinets
Cabinet lighting isn’t just for show—it’s practical, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. You can add under-cabinet task lighting, motion-activated drawer lights, or even ambient lighting along your toe kicks.
Why it’s worth considering:
Makes it easier to see and use your space
Adds depth and visual interest
Great for late-night snack runs
Bonus: Can often be hardwired during the cabinetry install process.

Custom Cabinetry FAQs – Answered by the Experts at Spearfish Building Supply
1. What’s the difference between custom, semi-custom, and stock cabinetry?
Custom cabinetry is built specifically for your space, with unlimited options for layout, materials, finishes, and features.
Semi-custom gives you more flexibility than stock, with some adjustability in size and finish.
Stock cabinets are mass-produced in standard sizes and styles, usually for quick installs.
We specialize in custom and semi-custom options so you can get the look, feel, and functionality you actually want.
2. How long does it take to get custom cabinets built and installed?
Lead times vary depending on the materials you choose, the scope of your project, and current supply conditions. On average, custom cabinetry takes 6–10 weeks from design approval to delivery.
⚠️ Important: Some specialty woods, finishes, or hardware may extend timelines. Our team will walk you through realistic expectations from day one.
3. Are custom cabinets worth it?
Yes—especially when you want cabinetry that fits your space and lasts.
Custom cabinets are built with higher-quality materials and give you control over every detail, from drawer organizers to finish options.
When done right, they also increase your home’s value and save money long-term through better durability.
4. What materials do you offer?
We work with a wide range of options including:
Hardwoods like maple, hickory, oak, cherry, and walnut
Plywood construction with wood veneers
Laminate or thermofoil for cost-effective solutions
