Door Styles

One look, three profiles

American framed cabinets come in three door profiles. The frame and finish set the tone — here's how to choose.
Shaker
The clean, recessed-panel classic — the most popular profile. Works in everything from traditional to modern kitchens.
Slim Shaker
A narrower frame for a tighter, more contemporary line. The updated take on shaker for modern and two-tone designs.
Raised Panel
A raised center panel adds dimension and traditional craftsmanship — the choice when you want a more classic, detailed look.
Choosing Your Style

American Framed vs. Euro Frameless

Two construction styles, two different looks. Here's the honest difference so you pick the right one for your kitchen.
This Collection
American Framed
The timeless, classic American look.
  • Face-frame construction — a solid frame across the front of the box for a sturdy, classic feel.
  • The traditional U.S. cabinet style; ideal for traditional and transitional kitchens.
  • Pairs naturally with shaker, slim shaker, and raised-panel doors.
  • Wide range of painted and wood finishes, from bright whites to bold colors.
  • Best for: warm, classic, and transitional kitchens.
Modern Alternative
Euro Frameless
Full-access, sleek, and contemporary.
  • No face frame — doors mount directly to the box for full-access interiors and a bit more usable space.
  • Clean, modern slab look with contemporary European styling.
  • Matte and gloss finishes with minimal, handle-light lines.
  • Best for: modern, minimalist kitchens.

American Style Kitchen Cabinets
American framed cabinets are the classic foundation of the U.S. kitchen — sturdy, timeless, and endlessly versatile. At Apex Granite Outlet, we stock them factory-direct across our California showrooms, in a wide range of shaker, slim shaker, and raised-panel finishes you can see and compare in person.
What Are American (Framed) Cabinets?
Framed cabinets are built with a face frame — a solid wood frame attached to the front of the cabinet box. That frame gives the cabinet its strength and the traditional American look, and it's what shaker and raised-panel doors mount to. It's the most common cabinet construction in U.S. homes, and the reason framed cabinets feel so at home in traditional and transitional kitchens.
Built for Strength and Lasting Value
Every American-style cabinet we carry is built on quality construction — no confusing upgrade tiers. You get solid plywood boxes, full-depth plywood shelves, solid-wood dovetail drawer boxes, full-extension soft-close slides, and solid maple and birch components, backed by a lifetime warranty on the carcass box. It's cabinetry built to handle daily use for years.
American Framed vs. Euro Frameless
If you want the timeless, classic look that suits most homes, American framed is the natural choice and the focus of this collection. If you're after a sleek, modern kitchen with full-access interiors and a handle-light slab look, our Euro frameless collection is the modern alternative. Many kitchens look beautiful either way — it comes down to the style you're after.
Door Styles & Finishes
Choose from clean shaker, a tighter slim-shaker profile, or a raised-panel door for more traditional detail. Finishes span bright whites and warm woods to bold statement colors like emerald green and royal blue — lighter finishes brighten and open up smaller kitchens, while darker tones and bold colors create a confident, classic look.
How to Plan Your Kitchen
Measure your space. Note wall lengths, window and door locations, and appliance sizes — or bring your measurements to a showroom.
Mix the modular pieces. Combine base, wall, and tall cabinets to fit your layout and storage needs.
Pick a door style and finish. Shaker, slim shaker, or raised panel — then the color that fits your home.
Plan the finishing details. Skin panels for exposed sides, toe kicks, and crown to complete the look.

Choosing the Right Cabinet for Your Project
American-style cabinets suit both traditional and transitional kitchens. Lighter finishes help brighten smaller spaces, while darker tones create a bold, classic look. Because the system is fully modular, you can mix base, wall, and tall cabinets to fit your exact layout and budget — and our design team can help you get it right before you order.
