Lakeland Cabinet Refacing
Hardware & Soft-Close Upgrades in Lakeland, FL
Hardware and soft-close upgrades in Lakeland, FL for cabinet hinges, slides, and pulls. Add-on or standalone, free estimates.
Serving Lakeland and nearby communities.
Hardware and soft-close upgrades swap out hinges, drawer slides, and pulls without touching the cabinet doors or boxes themselves. It works as a standalone service for cabinets that are otherwise in good shape but slam, stick, or look dated with old knobs, or as an add-on to any refacing job.
This is one of the most common add-ons Lakeland Cabinet Refacing handles across every suburb in the service area, regardless of a home's age, since hardware wears out well before the cabinet boxes do.

Hardware & Soft-Close Upgrades FAQs
Can you add soft-close hinges during a refacing job?
Soft-close hinges and slides are a common add-on to any door replacement or refacing project, or they can be installed on their own.
Will new hardware fit my existing doors and drawers?
Yes. Hinge mounting plates can be swapped to fit older cabinet styles, and pulls/knobs are matched to existing hole spacing or redrilled if you're changing styles.
How much do soft-close upgrades cost?
Pricing is typically per door or drawer, and runs far less than a full refacing job since no new doors or veneer are involved.
Is this a DIY-friendly project?
Basic hinge swaps are doable for a confident DIYer, but matching soft-close mechanisms to door weight and getting even alignment across a full kitchen usually goes faster and looks better with a pro.
Can I just upgrade the pulls and knobs without touching the hinges?
Hardware upgrades can be as small as swapping pulls and knobs or as full as replacing every hinge and slide in the kitchen.
