A: Please review our Pre-Installation Checklist before your scheduled delivery and installation. Following the checklist will help ensure your space is ready and avoid unnecessary delays.

Q: Does the installation happen the same day as delivery?

A: Typically, no. Delivery and installation are completed by separate teams and are generally scheduled on different days unless otherwise confirmed. Our teams do not typically deliver or install on weekends or statutory holidays.

Q: Do you resurface or refinish cabinetry?

A: In some cases, Norelco can provide refacing for existing Norelco cabinetry, including the replacement of cabinet doors and drawer fronts. Please contact our team regarding your existing cabinetry and project needs, and we can determine what options may be available.

Q: How do I clean my cabinets?

A: Clean cabinetry as needed using a lint-free cloth dampened with soap and water, then dry immediately with a clean, lint-free cloth. Avoid scouring pads or powdered cleaners, as they may scratch or penetrate the surface and cause deterioration of the finish. Wipe up spills, splatters and water marks as they occur, and keep surfaces dry.

Q: I’m planning on redoing my floors and need to remove the toe kicks. Is that easy to do or will I need to purchase new ones because they won’t come off in one piece?

A: Finished toe kicks typically need to be replaced once removed, as it is extremely difficult to remove them without damaging or breaking them. Contact our team if you require replacement toe kicks for your Norelco cabinetry.
