That’s why we’ve put together this list of the 5 best places to buy kitchen cabinet hardware in Ottawa. 

 

Whether you’re looking for hardware that blends within popular kitchen styles such as traditional, modern, farmhouse, or anywhere in between, these businesses have Ottawa’s hardware needs covered! 

 

Please note the companies listed below are in no particular order.

4. Bath Depot 


Bath Depot is a family-owned business founded in 2008 by four brothers with 20 years in the plumbing distribution industry. What started as a plumbing-centric business has now expanded to cover all things bath and kitchen; including accessories, cabinets, and of course, kitchen cabinet hardware.

Bath Depot offers virtual online consultations, free in-store pick up, and free delivery in Ontario.

 

As of publication, Bath Depot has a 3.6-star Google rating from 105 reviews.

5. Large Home Improvement Stores for Kitchen Cabinet Hardware 


 

Large home improvement retail stores such as Home Depot, IKEA, Lowe’s and Rona, sell a variety of cabinet hardware including handles, knobs, hinges, slides and other cabinet accessories. 

 

While these big box stores are sure to have available inventory in-store and online, you may be limited when it comes to their product selection.

 

Buying from large home improvement stores does have its benefits, however. If, for example, one of your handles or knobs becomes damaged, you know you go online or walk in-store and replace the same product off the shelf. 

 

 If you’re not picky about your hardware choices, this could be an ideal avenue for you.

 

In contast, if you’re particular about your cabinet hardware, the local hardware specialty stores listed above might be ideal for you. They’ll have a larger variety of hardware selections to choose from and a deeper knowledge of the cabinet hardware industry for a more hands-on approach.
