Kitchen cab hdwe - best place to buy?

[Schleeper]

I need to drill my shelf support holes before assembling the plywood boxes of my kitchen cabinets, which started me looking online for shelf supports. Of course, that's just the tip of the hardware iceberg. I'm going to need hinges, drawer glides, lazy susans, knobs, pulls, spaceballs, etc. There are quite a few online sites to choose from. I'd appreciate some help in narrowing the field a bit. Where do all you cabinetmakers buy your your hardware?

I like Lee Valley.

I'm certainly not a cabinetmaker, and I've bought little hardware.

Lee Valley has a pretty good selection of hardware. They even have a seperate catalog dedicated to it.

I've picked some assorted parts at my local woodcraft store, Rockler carries a bunch of hardware too.

I like Woodworker's Hardware. Decent prices and great selection. If nothing else, order one of their hardcopy catalogs...you'll get a lot of inspiration just browsing through it and seeing all the options available.

Most all my suppliers are local. They cater to cabinet shops, and some sell plywoods, lumber and hardware. I don't usually buy from online sources unless it a specialty item. Some of the local suppliers for hardware, and some laminates are Specialty Supplies,
Trend Distributors, and Hardware Systems/Imagination. There are a few local hardwood and hardwood plywood suppliers. Most of the cabinet shop suppliers have an "over the counter" for non-trade purchases.

You could check in the Delaware area for cabinet shop suppliers, or call a few local cabinet shops and ask where to buy.

Take a look at Custom Service Hardware. I've bought some ball-bearing drawer slides from them that were a third the price of buying locally.

+1 on CSH - great prices, excellent quality, very prompt response to emails and speedy shipping.

+1 for CS Hardware.

I'm not crazy about how they lay out their catalog and ordering through their
website is a mess. I just fax in an order or e-mail them. They have good
prices but more importantly they've always been good to me through e-mail
or phone. The only places local to me are HD/Lowes and a small Woodcraft
that never has anything I need.

I knew I could rely on you guys. Thanks.

Woodworkers Hardware was one of the places I had already looked at, and they appeared to be a pretty good outfit. I found a couple of items that were new to me - metal grommets to dress up the shelf support holes, and rubber pads for use on metal supports. Does anyone use them?
