Check for cracked or chipped corners, dented panels, warped doors, and hardware that does not sit flush when unboxing new cabinets. Catching this damage immediately after delivery gives you time to request replacement parts before the installation date arrives.

Corners and edges are the most vulnerable points during shipping, so checking each cabinet box carefully for cracks, chips, or dents along these areas should be the first step for Louisville homeowners receiving a delivery throughout Jeffersontown or Middletown. Even minor damage in a visible location is worth flagging before installation begins.
Doors should be checked for warping by looking down the length of the door at an angle, which can reveal subtle bowing that is harder to spot when looking straight on. Southern Indiana and Central Kentucky homeowners should also open and close a sample of doors and drawers to confirm hardware is properly attached and functioning smoothly.
Finish consistency across all cabinet pieces is worth a quick check as well, since a mismatched sheen or color variation between boxes from the same order can sometimes occur and is easier to address before installation than after. Learn more about our professional cabinet installation service.
What Most People Get Wrong
Homeowners sometimes wait until installation day to open boxes, which leaves little time to request replacement parts if damage is discovered, potentially delaying the entire installation schedule.
