Custom Face Frames

Front Frame Drawing

One of the best aspects of Conestoga’s program is its flexibility. Custom face frames allow the customer to do the following:

  • Order custom configured frames/sizes for cabinet they construct
  • Create unique cabinets within our RTA cabinet program by deleting the standard frame/doors/drawer fronts and then ordering a custom configured face frame which snaps right on the cabinet

Custom frames are available in any wood specie. See section below for specifications, available inset beads for inset cabinet applications, available door edge profiles for doors used in our inset face frames, etc.

NOTE: Information about inset frames/doors contained here pertains to our Inset cabinet option in our RTA cabinet program.

Available Sizes

  • Forward the sketch with your overall quote request. If the frame is going on an RTA cabinet, please let us know which cabinet the frame goes on.
