What the Pilaster Does Inside a Cabinet

A pilaster standard is the vertical strip mortised or surface-mounted into the cabinet side wall that accepts shelf clips at incremental positions. Installing pilasters lets you set a shelf at the height the contents require, then move it when storage needs change. In a base cabinet, that flexibility makes a real difference when the mix of stored items shifts, whether that is shifting from small appliances to tall pantry goods or reconfiguring after a kitchen remodel. This pilaster is cut to base cabinet height, so it fits the opening without trimming in most standard installations.

Material and Finish

The strip is solid maple, a close-grained hardwood that holds the shelf-clip slots cleanly over time and resists the minor dents and wear that come with a working cabinet interior. The prefinished surface means the wood arrives with a coat already applied, so it matches or coordinates with finished maple cabinet interiors without a finishing step on site. For cabinet shops building X-Series runs, using the matched pilaster keeps the interior material consistent from wall panel to shelf-support hardware.

Where It Fits Best

This pilaster is the right specification for cabinet shops and installers building or retrofitting base cabinets in the Century X-Series. It also suits renovation contractors upgrading interior hardware in existing maple cabinetry where the 1-1/4 inch channel width and 20-7/8 inch height align with the installed cabinet dimensions. Homeowners retrofitting a single cabinet for adjustable shelving can use this strip to replace a damaged pilaster or add adjustability where fixed shelves were installed originally. Confirm the cabinet's pilaster channel width and available height before ordering, since the X-Series pilasters are sized to specific cabinet configurations.
