Many cabinets with face frames can be ordered as front only.

Front only cabinetry is used mainly in functional applications such as when a cabinet front is needed to hide or mask an obstacle in a design such as plumbing or venting. This option can also be used when a cabinetry front is needed for a pre-constructed wall niche or pass thru like a pantry door or wall opening, creating the appearance of fully built-in cabinetry.
