For such a small piece of the kitchen puzzle, cabinet hardware can play a large role in a kitchen’s overall aesthetic. 

However, choosing the right kitchen cabinet hardware can be a difficult task. Your selection should compliment, and shouldn’t clash, with cabinets, countertops, or wall colour

At Deslaurier Custom Cabinets, we specialize in providing our clients with high-quality, functional dream kitchens. We know how important selecting the right cabinet hardware can be during the kitchen design process. 

With that, let’s get to it! This article will provide you with 5 retail options that will service your kitchen cabinet hardware needs in the Ottawa region!

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 is its own manufacturer, distributor, and retailer. With over 40 locations in Quebec and Ontario, you can find two locations in the Ottawa area:

• Gloucester (1900 Innes Road)
• Nepean (1872 Merivale Road Unit #2)

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.
