Cabinet Hardware Category Overview
The Cabinet Hardware category, identified by the ID 4696, encompasses functional and decorative fixtures designed for cabinetry and furniture. This category sits within the Hardware Accessories classification at level 3 of the Google taxonomy.
What Belongs in This Category
This category is specifically for components used to operate or enhance the aesthetic of cabinets and drawers. Based on products found in the US market, this includes items such as:
- Various styles of cabinet pulls, such as D-bar, appliance, and ribbed designs.
- Decorative cabinet knobs and ergonomic thumb pulls.
- Functional cabinet backplates used for mounting or aesthetic framing.
- Unique finishes including leather or brass furniture accents.
What Does Not Belong Here
Items categorized elsewhere in the Hardware Accessories tree should not be placed here. Specifically, do not include hinges, drawer slides, or various types of fasteners and brackets. For instance, mechanical drawer slides or structural cabinet hinges belong in their own distinct subcategories within the hardware taxonomy, even if they are sold alongside cabinet hardware.
When to Use a Subcategory
You should opt for a more specific subcategory whenever possible, such as Cabinet Knobs & Handles or Cabinet Catches, to provide the most precise classification for your inventory.
Feeding to Merchant Center
In your feed, use either the numeric ID 4696 or the full path: Hardware > Hardware Accessories > Cabinet Hardware. While the attribute is optional, providing it prevents Google from misassigning your products to overly general categories, which helps improve ad performance and ensures your items appear in relevant search queries.
