Cabinets are essential in any kitchen or commercial setting. They serve as the backbone for organizing and storing valuable items and ingredients when not in use. However, just like many other tools in the foodservice industry, there are numerous types of cabinets available. This variety can often lead to confusion, but don’t worry—our goal is to help you navigate through this.
In this article, we'll address five frequently asked questions about IMC cabinet products and provide useful resources for future reference. For today's discussion, we'll focus on three main types of cabinets: base cabinets, wall cabinets, and storage cabinets. Let's dive right into question #1.
**1. What kind of cabinet do I really need?**
This is perhaps the most common question, and the answer depends largely on the space you have available and the specific use case. Here’s a simple guide to help you decide:
- **Floor Space**: If you have ample walkable space, a storage cabinet or base cabinet might suit you best. In contrast, if your floor space is limited, a wall cabinet could be a better option.
- **Capacity**: If you're dealing with a large number of products, storage cabinets are likely your best bet as they offer the most capacity.
- **Extra Prep Space Needed?**: Base cabinets are ideal if you require additional workspace. Their flat tops can double as prep areas, and they can also be customized with extra drawers or countertops for added functionality.
Next up, let’s talk about cabinet doors and the choices you have.
**2. What are my options for cabinet doors?**
IMC offers three primary types of cabinet doors: open front, hinged, and sliding.
- **Open Front**: Great if you frequently access items inside and don't require much security. It also provides excellent visibility into your cabinet contents.
- **Hinged**: These are the classic swing-door style, which can be locked. They’re versatile and suitable for most applications.
- **Sliding**: Ideal for spaces where swinging doors aren’t practical. Sliding doors save space and give your cabinet a sleek, modern appearance. They can also be locked.

Now, let’s move on to the next question regarding the material of the cabinet doors.
**3. Should I choose solid or glass doors?**
Your choice between solid and glass doors will depend on whether you prioritize visibility or security. Glass doors allow you to easily see the contents of your cabinet and how they are arranged, giving your space a professional look. However, they might raise concerns about theft or unauthorized access. On the other hand, solid doors offer maximum security and a more traditional aesthetic.
**4. Installation – what’s the correct way?**
Proper installation is crucial for safety and longevity. Wall cabinets, especially stainless steel ones, can be quite heavy, so mounting them securely is essential. Start by using wood blocks to mark the height, then drill through the back of the cabinet into the blocks. You can find our comprehensive installation guide [insert link].
For storage cabinets, ensuring they are level and flush against the wall is critical. Make sure to drill screws through the back of the cabinet as well. A guide for storage cabinet installation can be found [insert link].
When it comes to base cabinets, if they’re standalone, ensure they sit evenly on the floor without wobbling. If installing a base cabinet with a countertop, securing the countertop tightly to the cabinet using hat channels is vital. Ensure the countertop is level and seal any gaps with silicone for a seamless finish. A guide for base cabinet installation can be found [insert link].
**5. How do I handle the corners of my space?**
