Was wondering if anyone installs garage cabinets on a regular basis. Looking for some brands or distributors that you recommend.

Bump.
Maybe someone will see this better near the top of the list.
I have installed cabinets in garages, but they are usually recycled from a kitchen remodel. I have also built a few custom storage solutions for garages, but never ordered cabinets for a garage.
Seems to be a budding market though. I guess the TV "how to" shows are starting to have an impact.

I've seen a couple of DIY shows that show installation of garage "storage systems". One of them used Craftsman components that looked pretty good - wall hanging systems, lockers, tool chests, etc. I would bet that they're pretty pricey - lol.
I've never been a fan of recycling old kitchen cabinets. They're usually in pretty poor condition when they're removed and they usually get loaded much heavier in the garage than in the kitchen.
I generally see recycled kitchen cabinets, or the cheapest white boxes they can get at the big boxes.
An issue or two ago FHB had an article on those.
Listed brands and what are available from the home horror stores, which are available from the manufactures and which lines are franchised.
Aslo listed several levels of construction.
Heck, here we have two stores that sell the stuff. And Rochester isn't that big a town.
happy?
Actually, "cheap" Ikea cabinets might be a good choice for this duty. They're reasonably durable, not unattractive, generally made with an easy-to-clean laminate, and available in a good range of configurations.
happy?
I was actually thinking of starting a small business, specializing in garage cabinets and epoxy floor coatings. Don't want any franchise type thing, just some good suppliers that you can recommend. Prishy8 the feedback.

We used to build garge cabinets out of white melamine. Sorta looked like row's of lockers. Not unlike the Ikea cabs that you mentioned.

Kenz , rty to find a cabinet wholesaler in your area. I got hooked up with one and can buy cabs. at a significant discount over box stores or design centers. I can get the best or worst available, very quickly and have taken one middle man out of the loop! $$$$$$
