Introduction

When investing in kitchen cabinets, customers often ask: "What if something goes wrong after installation?" or "How long is the AIS Kitchen Cabinet warranty period?" These are important concerns — and at AIS Kitchen, we take them seriously. In this blog post, we break down everything you need to know about our warranty coverage and how we handle after-sales service to give you peace of mind.

1. AIS Kitchen Cabinet Standard Warranty Coverage

AIS provide a 5-year limited warranty on all kitchen cabinet products, covering:

    1、Structural integrity: including cabinet boxes and doors

    2、Hardware: such as hinges, drawer slides, and handles

    3、Finishes: including painted, lacquered, and laminated surfaces

The warranty ensures that your cabinets will remain functional and aesthetically pleasing when used under normal residential conditions.

2. What’s Included in the Kitchen Cabinet warranty period?

During the Kitchen Cabinet warranty period, AIS provides a comprehensive coverage designed to ensure long-term安心 for overseas customers and project contractors. Our goal is not only to replace defective parts but to restore cabinet functionality quickly and efficiently with minimal impact on your project schedule.

1. Repair or Replacement of Defective Parts

If any components—such as hinges, drawer slides, cabinet doors, panels, handles, or internal accessories—are found to be defective due to manufacturing issues within the Kitchen Cabinet warranty period, we will provide repair solutions or replace them with brand-new parts free of charge. All replacement parts meet the same quality standards as the original installation.

2. Ongoing Technical Support from Our Service Team

Our professional after-sales team is available to offer continuous technical support. Whether you're dealing with installation challenges, hardware adjustments, or functional issues, you can reach us via email, video call, or messaging apps. For bulk project clients, we may assign a dedicated service representative to ensure faster communication and follow-up.

3. Fast Shipping of Replacement Items (If Needed)

For overseas buyers, time is crucial. When replacement parts are required, we prioritize production and shipping to reduce downtime on-site. Depending on urgency and client preference, we can arrange express courier or batch shipping with your next delivery.

4. Remote Troubleshooting & Installation Guidance

Many minor issues can be resolved with professional guidance. Our warranty service includes remote troubleshooting through detailed step-by-step instructions, annotated pictures, or live video demonstrations. If installers face challenges during assembly or adjustment, our team will provide targeted support until the issue is fully resolved.

Quick Response Guarantee: Most Issues Resolved Within 72 Hours

We understand that international projects often operate under tight timelines. That’s why we aim to provide an initial response within 12 hours and offer an effective solution within 72 hours in most cases, ensuring smooth progress for residential, commercial, and large-scale development projects.

3. What Is Not Covered?

While the Kitchen Cabinet warranty ensures strong protection against manufacturing defects, it does not cover issues caused by improper use, external factors, or unauthorized modifications. To maintain eligibility for warranty services, customers should carefully follow installation, usage, and maintenance guidelines.

Below are situations that are not covered:

     1. Improper Installation by Non-Certified Contractors

If the cabinets are installed by unqualified or inexperienced installers, resulting in issues like misaligned doors, loose drawers, unstable cabinet bodies, or broken hardware, such problems are not included in the Kitchen Cabinet warranty coverage. We highly recommend hiring professional installation teams, especially for large residential or commercial projects.

     2. Damage Caused by Misuse, Accidents, or Excessive Water Exposure

The warranty does not cover damage resulting from:

     1、Impact or heavy loading beyond standard usage

     2、Prolonged exposure to water, steam, or high humidity environments

     3、Chemical corrosion from harsh cleaning agents

     4、Accidental burns, scratches, dents, or stains
To ensure your warranty remains valid, cabinets should be used under normal household or project conditions.

     3. Unauthorized Modifications or Repairs

Any structural changes, drilling, cutting, repainting, or hardware replacement performed without our approval will void the Kitchen Cabinet warranty. Similarly, repairs done using non-original parts or by uncertified technicians may lead to functional issues that fall outside the warranty scope.

     4. Normal Wear and Tear

Slight color fading, minor surface abrasion, or small scratches caused by daily use are considered normal and are not covered under the warranty. This also includes natural material variations such as minor wood grain differences over time.

4. Warranty Claims Process

If a problem arises, our process is simple:

    1、Report the issue via email or customer service portal

    2、Provide photo/video evidence to support your claim

    3、Our support team reviews and confirms the issue within 24–48 hours

    4、Replacement parts or solutions are arranged and dispatched promptly

All shipments are tracked and documented to ensure transparency and traceability.

5. Optional Extended Warranty & Service Packages

We also offer optional extended warranties and post-warranty service plans, including:

    1、Extended coverage up to 10 years

    2、Annual cabinet check-ups (for local projects)

    3、Paid support packages for third-party installations

    4、These packages are especially useful for developers or commercial buyers managing multiple units.

FAQ:

1. How long does the AIS kitchen cabinet warranty last for overseas projects?
For most overseas projects, the standard AIS kitchen cabinet warranty is:

     5 years on cabinet structure (carcass, doors, drawers)

     5 years on standard hardware (hinges, drawer slides)

     1 year on accessories and lighting (pull-out baskets, LED strips, etc.)

The exact warranty period will be confirmed in your project contract or PI.

2. When does the warranty period start?
For overseas projects, the AIS kitchen cabinet warranty typically starts from the earlier of:

     The date of substantial completion / handover of the project, or

     90 days after delivery to the project site

This ensures the warranty is aligned with your construction and handover schedule.

3. What does the AIS kitchen cabinet warranty cover?
The standard AIS warranty for kitchen cabinets covers:

     Structural issues with cabinet carcasses, doors, and drawer fronts

     Hardware failures under normal residential use (hinges, drawer runners)

     Peeling, bubbling, or cracking of finishes due to manufacturing defects

     Warping or deformation caused by material or production issues

It is designed to protect developers, builders, and distributors from defects in materials and workmanship, not from misuse or jobsite damage.

4. What is not covered by the AIS kitchen cabinet warranty?
The warranty does not cover:

     Damage from incorrect installation by third parties

     Jobsite damage (impacts, scratches, drilling, cutting, on-site modifications)

     Water leaks from plumbing, flooding, or long-term standing water

     Extreme humidity, direct rain, or outdoor use beyond product specification

     Normal wear and tear, color fading from direct UV exposure

     Use of harsh chemicals or cleaning agents not recommended by AIS

These exclusions are standard for most overseas kitchen cabinet warranties.

5. Is the warranty the same for all countries (Australia, Canada, Middle East, etc.)?
The core AIS kitchen cabinet warranty is generally the same, but:

     Some markets may require specific documents or local compliance

     Large projects (villas, apartments, hotels) may negotiate a project-specific warranty

     Installation by AIS-approved partners can sometimes unlock extended service support

All details will be clearly stated in the contract and technical offer for each project.

6. Does the warranty cover installation issues on overseas projects?
AIS guarantees the cabinets and hardware we manufacture. Installation is usually handled by:

     Your local installer / contractor, or

     AIS-recommended local partners (depending on the project)

If AIS does not perform installation, installation-related issues (uneven floors, wrong fixing, cutting errors) are not part of the AIS product warranty, but we will support with technical guidance and solutions where possible.

7. How are warranty claims handled for overseas projects?
For any potential claim, we usually ask for:

     Project name and contract / PI number

     Detailed photos or videos showing the issue

     Description of when it was installed and when the problem appeared

     Quantity affected (cabinet number, room, or floor)

Our after-sales team will review the case, propose a solution (replacement parts, repair guidance, or other compensation), and agree with you on the fastest practical option based on shipping and local conditions.

8. What evidence do I need to provide for a warranty claim?
To speed up warranty support, please provide:

     Clear front-view and close-up photos of the problem

     Photos of the overall kitchen layout and surrounding area

     Proof of purchase or project documentation

     If relevant, photos of hinges/slides, cut-outs, plumbing, or heat sources

This helps AIS determine whether the issue is a manufacturing defect, installation problem, or site-related damage.

9. Is the AIS kitchen cabinet warranty transferable to the end buyer or new homeowner?
For most overseas residential projects:

     The project warranty is given to the developer / builder / distributor

     Developers can pass on the remaining warranty period to the end buyer as part of their own after-sales package

If you want the AIS warranty terms to appear in your handover booklets or sales documents, we can provide a simple English warranty summary for your brand to adapt.

10. Can AIS provide extended or customized warranty terms for large overseas projects?
For large-scale villa, apartment, or hotel projects, AIS can discuss:

     Extended warranty options

     Project-specific after-sales support packages

     Extra spare parts kits shipped together with the bulk order

These terms are negotiated case by case and confirmed in the project contract.
