Our Story
A Family Business Built on Reputation
Allan Carter Cabinetmaking was established in 1984, and for over 40 years we have been designing and building custom cabinetry for Adelaide homes. What started as a single craftsman's passion has grown into a trusted local institution.
Based in Somerton Park, we work closely with every client to understand their vision — then we bring it to life with the skill and precision that only four decades of experience can deliver. Whether you're planning a complete kitchen renovation or a single custom built-in, you receive the same dedicated attention.
We predominantly use Blum hardware throughout our cabinetry — renowned for its precision engineering and backed by a lifetime warranty. Because when you invest in quality, it should last.

What Clients Say
Adelaide Homeowners Trust Our Work
“Allan Carter transformed our dated kitchen into something truly beautiful. The craftsmanship is extraordinary — every door, every drawer, every detail is perfect. We've had tradespeople come through the house and every single one has remarked on the quality. Worth every cent and more.”
Margaret & David H.

Kitchen & Pantry
“We wanted a custom bathroom vanity that felt special, not off-the-shelf. Allan Carter delivered exactly that. The communication was excellent, the workmanship was second to none, and the finished product is something we admire every single day. Highly recommended to anyone in Adelaide.”
Karen S.
Glenelg, Adelaide
Bathroom Vanity
“From the first consultation to the day of installation, the entire experience was professional and genuinely enjoyable. Our new kitchen is the heart of our home now. The Blum hardware is incredible — everything closes perfectly and feels like it will still be perfect in 30 years.”
