What part of the country are you in? If a larger city they probably got them locally as shipping on these items can run into a lot of money.I live in a town of 20k and there are 50 places within 20 miles I can have doors and drawers made.

@bry911 I appreciate your thoughts on this, but the problem with the company I "fired" is that I have repeatedly tried to work with them. It's a long, sordid story, but overall, it's a testament to how badly things can go wrong when a contractor hires someone who is inexperienced and improperly supervised. I have already spoken to an attorney - in fact, it was the only way to get their attention - but only for a very limited time. They left me high and dry over the Christmas holidays with a partially dismantled kitchen, and walked off with two drawer fronts that belong to me. They have no qualms whatsoever about doing this kind of thing to their customers, and I have been on the receiving end of this kind of treatment several times now since they "completed" their contract last February.

Thanks for your offer to help.

@Precision Carpentry I live in Colorado. One question I have about having them made is how much it would cost compared to getting them from a manufacturer.

Here are a couple of photos:

Take one of your doors or drawer fronts off, go to a custom cabinet shop and show them the doors and tell them what is going on. They may be able to help you by either making some more doors or directing you to the place that made them. You might have to visit a few but I feel sure someone will be able to help you. It is not an incredibly complicated profile but still probably cheaper to get the name of the company than have someone make them.

Having said all that, you can file a small claims case and get some resolution. That is what it is for and frankly the judge will probably compel them to tell you and give you some money. Get three estimates from people to completely fix all their work when you sue, make sure they document the problems. Sue for the middle estimate. Odds are they will be falling over themselves to resolve the problem, since you can attach to the assets of the business once you have a judgement. If you get a judgement, file an action to seize his tools for auction (you probably will not succeed but it costs like 50 bucks, and will scare the hell out of him). You will get the results you want very fast.

I'd contact a door company. When I did my previous kitchen I chose each and every aspect of the door profile; the door co. had a nice little catalog online. I don't remember their name, but I don't think they were all that unique.

Either way they are being manufactured.The issue is with the profile of the cutters.You need to find a place that has the same profile cutters on hand.I have made thousands of doors .Some for historical restorations which I have had to have the cutters custom made to match the profile which could run in to thousands.

Any place that has the correct profile cutters can make them for you.I mentioned local places because wood is heavy and expensive to ship so most likely the contractor had them made locally.

How many doors/drawer fronts are you missing?

@weedyacres Well, currently, there are two drawer fronts that are missing, but I also need two 24" wide panels for the back of the peninsula, as well as two 9" panels for the lazy suzan. The panels on the lazy susan aren't missing, they were just cut wrong and need to be redone. I was thinking about rebuilding one of the cabinets since the peninsula needs to be moved down a couple of inches to make room for a missing spacer, but I think I'm going to leave that one alone. So not a lot, but they're definitely part of getting the kitchen fixed and finished.

You may try pulling one of the drawers out and checking the bottom for a label.Some manufacturers mark there cabinets this way.

All of the above are good suggestions. Here's the order I'd try things:

• See if you can find some markings somewhere on the cabinets with the manufacturer's name.

• Google to find local cabinet makers, call them and either ask if they make cabinets for GC X or if they made cabinets for your name/address. If they say no, ask them if they know who your GC uses. The industry may be small enough that they know who goes where. If you can't find them that way, then go to a few shops and see if they've got the tooling to make the same profile.

• Have a lawyer write a demand letter to the GC to divulge the name of the manufacturer. If they don't respond, then file in small claims court to force disclosure. I can't imagine a judge would have much patience with their shenanigans.

Thank you for your suggestions. They build their own cabinets and drawers - the only thing they have supplied by a manufacturer are drawer fronts and door panels, and even then, the contractor stains them and prepares them for installation. It wouldn't surprise me if this included removing any markings or labels. I have started canvassing cabinet makers (based on what I see on their websites) to see if they can help. There is one called cabinetdoorshop.com that looks promising. They are not local, but they are the closest I've seen yet. I am awaiting a response to an email, and I may follow up with a phone call. The same is true for the stain, but in this case it's a local supplier. I've considered your idea for a (second) demand letter, and it may ultimately come to that.

The business that operates the cabinetdoorshop.com makes great doors and drawer fronts. My local cabinet maker gets all of his doors and drawer fronts there. I have seen their facility in Hot Springs and they make a great product. I will have a kitchen full of their drawer fronts and door in just a few weeks.

Thanks for the feedback - I ordered a sample door and I'm looking forward to seeing if it matches what I have.
