Cabinet Organizers & Drawer Inserts in Chicago

Good storage is what makes a kitchen feel bigger than it is. The right pull-outs, drawer inserts, and corner solutions turn awkward cabinets into space you actually use every day. As an official dealer for Richelieu Hardware and Hardware Resources, Kitchen Cabinets Deal can add organizers and inserts to any cabinet order — or supply them on their own — and they work with all 43 of our active cabinet lines.

Here are the organizers Chicago homeowners and contractors ask for most, and how to think about each one.

Drawer inserts & dividers

Drawer inserts keep utensils, knives, and gadgets in their place instead of sliding into a jumble. Hardware Resources and Richelieu offer cutlery trays, adjustable dividers, knife blocks, and deep-drawer peg systems for pots and lids — in wood-tone and neutral finishes that match most cabinet interiors. For a fully finished look, pair inserts with dovetail drawer boxes (below).

Pull-outs — trash, recycling, pantry & blind corner

Pull-outs are the upgrades people notice most because they solve the cabinets that are hardest to use:

• Pull-out trash & recycling — one or two bins that glide out behind a cabinet door, hiding the trash and keeping it off the floor. A single- or double-bin unit is one of the most requested add-ons in any kitchen.
• Pantry pull-outs — tall roll-out shelves that bring the back of a deep pantry to you, so nothing gets lost behind the front row.
• Blind corner solutions — swing-out and slide-out systems that reach into the dead space of an L-shaped corner cabinet and make it usable.
• Base cabinet roll-outs — shelves that slide forward so you’re not kneeling and reaching into the back of a lower cabinet.

Lazy susans

For corner cabinets, a lazy susan spins your cookware, dishes, or pantry items into reach with a turn. Richelieu and Hardware Resources offer full-round and kidney-shaped susans in several sizes to fit standard and custom corner cabinets, so the corner stops being wasted space.

Closet organizers

The same suppliers handle storage beyond the kitchen. Richelieu carries complete closet systems, and Hardware Resources offers closet organizers — shelving, rods, and accessory hardware — so a pantry, mudroom, or bedroom closet can be organized to match. If you’re already remodeling, it’s an easy add to the same order.

Dovetail drawer boxes & the Hardware Resources organizer line

For a sturdier, more finished drawer, dovetail drawer boxes from Hardware Resources use interlocking joints that hold up to heavy daily use better than stapled boxes. Combined with the broader Hardware Resources organizer line and Richelieu’s kitchen storage solutions, you can outfit a whole kitchen’s interior — drawers, corners, pantry, and trash — from one dealer, coordinated on a single order.

All of these organizers pair with our full range of cabinets — all 43 active KCD lines — so you’re not limited by which cabinet you chose. Your designer can match the right insert or pull-out to each cabinet in your layout.

Cabinet organizer FAQ

Can I add organizers to cabinets I already have?

Often, yes. Many pull-outs, drawer inserts, and lazy susans come in sizes that fit standard cabinet openings. Bring your cabinet’s interior measurements or a few photos to the showroom and we’ll tell you what will fit.

Do organizers work with all your cabinet lines?

Yes — our organizers and inserts pair with all 43 of our active cabinet lines, so you can choose the cabinet you want and still get the storage you need.

What’s the most popular organizer upgrade?

The pull-out trash and recycling cabinet is the one most people add — it hides the bins and frees up floor space. Pantry pull-outs and blind-corner solutions are close behind because they rescue hard-to-use space.

Can organizers be ordered with my cabinets?

Yes. When you order cabinets with us, we can add organizers and inserts to the same order so everything is planned together and arrives together. You can also buy organizers on their own.
