When you’re launching or scaling your garage storage business, you might feel the pressure to choose a lane: cabinets or slatwall.
But here’s the truth: the most successful dealers aren’t choosing. They’re combining.
Garage cabinets and slatwall aren’t competitors—they’re complements. And when you offer both, you create a stronger, more versatile service line that sells itself.
Cabinets Deliver Structure and Style
Cabinets remain the cornerstone of premium garage storage. They provide:
- Enclosed, lockable storage that hides clutter
- Clean lines and symmetry that elevate the garage’s appearance
- High-margin packages that boost average project value
- Customization options with upper and lower combos, tall lockers, workbenches, and accessories
Whether you’re serving homeowners who want a finished garage aesthetic or commercial clients looking for utility, cabinets add perceived value and instant appeal.
Slatwall Adds Flexibility (and Upgrades Your Sale)
On the other hand, slatwall shines in the details:
- Keeps everyday tools visible and accessible
- Maximizes vertical space on walls and around cabinet layouts
- Offers endless accessory options—from hooks to baskets to bike racks
- Installs cleanly and professionally for a finished look
Slatwall becomes the add-on that makes a basic layout feel like a full garage transformation. And the upsell potential? Huge.
Why You Should Offer Both
Here’s where the real magic happens:
- Customers don’t think in “or”—they want “and.” They want closed storage for bulk items and open access for grab-and-go tools.
- Offering both lets you meet a wider range of needs, budgets, and garage sizes.
- You’ll increase your average ticket by bundling solutions instead of selling piecemeal.
- Your install crew is already on-site—maximize the value of every project.
And when your product lines are designed to work together—as ours are—it’s seamless for both you and your customer.
