What moves it
Why two of the same job cost different amounts
These apply at the same time and in both directions. Which of them is true of your kitchen is what the on-site diagnostic settles.
-
Stiff or stuck
Stiff is hardware. Stuck, forced and now bent is a front, a frame or both, and that is a different order of work.
-
How many runners have pitted
Pitting is worst at the back of the travel and it is per-runner rather than per-drawer. The count is what moves this figure.
-
How close the kitchen is to the water
Four blocks from the ocean and four miles inland are different ages of the same machine. Fixings that have seized, ignition components that have crazed and housings that have corroded are labor before they are parts, and the labor is the half that moves.

What we actually do
The job behind the figure: what it involves, when a symptom points at it, and what we check first.
-
from $135 Drawer and door hardware service
The part of an outdoor kitchen that fails first and is budgeted for last. Runners, hinges, latches and fixings are the hardware salt reaches, and once a runner has pitted, cleaning does not bring it back. The progression is predictable: stiff, then sticky, then forced, then a bent drawer front or a frame pulled out of square. Catching it at stiff is inexpensive. Catching it after somebody has put their weight behind a stuck drawer is not, and it is why we ask on the phone whether it is stiff or stuck.
- Stiff and stuck are different jobs and different prices
- A pitted runner is replaced, not cleaned — cleaning buys weeks
- Forcing a stuck drawer is what turns hardware into cabinet work

About DCS drawer and door hardware service cost
Why this figure is a from
Caught while it is stiff this is the cheapest work on the island. Caught after somebody has put their weight behind a stuck drawer it is cabinet work, and the figure reflects which of those two we have been called to.
What we will not do
We do not quote a repair over the telephone from a description, and we do not publish a final price anywhere on this site. Both are the same rule. On this badge there is a second reason: most of this equipment is set into something a mason built, and until the surround has been seen, half of any estimate is missing. There is a third. Salt does not age two kitchens at the same rate, and a fixing that has seized turns a twenty-minute part change into an afternoon. We would rather establish all of that than guess at a number.

Before you book
Questions about DCS drawer and door hardware service cost
Why is it a from and not a price?
Because the same job is not the same work on two machines. Outdoors there are two large variables before a part is named: what the machine is set into, and how long the salt has been working on it. Either can change the hour, and a seized fixing can change it more than the component being replaced. The exact cost is confirmed on site, in writing, before anything is opened.
Is the diagnostic on top of this?
The diagnostic is from $95 and it comes off the repair when you go ahead. Where the finding is that the machine is not worth mending — or that the problem belongs to the gas supply or the building's power rather than to the appliance — you have paid for the answer and not for a part.
