Wardrobe Fittings Price List: How to Budget a Full Wardrobe Build
Summary
- The hardware for a standard wardrobe in Bangalore can cost anywhere from ₹8,000 for an economy build to over ₹45,000 for a premium setup with soft-close fittings.
- To avoid inflated quotes, break down your wardrobe cost into its two main parts: the carcass (the box) and the fittings (hardware like hinges and channels).
- Choose your primary material based on budget and longevity: HDHMR offers the best value (15-20 years), while BWP Marine Plywood provides maximum durability (50+ years) at a higher cost.
- Source all your genuine branded materials like Century Plywood and Hettich hardware from one place. HomeRun delivers everything you need for your wardrobe to your Bangalore site in 60 minutes.
You finally get a quote from an interior designer for your wardrobe — ₹20 lakhs for a 3BHK, with local plywood and basic laminates. You ask to upgrade to branded materials, and suddenly the number doubles. Sound familiar?
As one frustrated Bangalore homeowner put it on Reddit, "The estimate given by the interior designer was 20 lacs and that too with local plywoods and laminates. I asked him to use branded materials and he hiked the price by 2x." This isn't an isolated experience — it's the norm.
The truth is, wardrobe pricing doesn't have to be a mystery. Every rupee in a wardrobe build can be accounted for if you know your components. This guide breaks down the wardrobe fittings price list in Bangalore component by component — carcass boards, hinges, channels, rails, handles, locks, and sliding systems — so you can budget accurately, have informed conversations with your carpenter, and never get blindsided by an inflated quote again.
The Anatomy of a Wardrobe: Breaking Down Every Cost Centre
A wardrobe is made up of two major cost centres: the carcass (the structural box) and the fittings (the moving hardware). Let's price out each one.
Part 1: The Carcass — Plywood or HDHMR?
The carcass is the skeleton of your wardrobe — the back, sides, shelves, and top panel. The material you choose here determines how long your wardrobe lasts, how it handles Bangalore's humidity, and ultimately, your biggest line item cost.
Option A: Plywood
Plywood has been the go-to for carpentry for decades, and for good reason. It's strong, screws hold well in it, and good grades can last decades.
- MR Grade (Moisture Resistant) Plywood — e.g., Century Sainik MR, Greenply Ecotec: ₹45–₹75 per sq ft. Suitable for dry areas like bedrooms. Conforming to IS:303 standards.
- BWP 710 Marine Plywood — e.g., Century Sainik BWP, Greenply Gold: ₹90–₹180 per sq ft. Boil Water Proof certified (IS:710), built to last 50+ years. Ideal if you're building for the long haul or in humid rooms — check the latest Century Plywood price list for up-to-date rates.
As a concrete reference point, you can check the current price for a standard 8x4 ft sheet of 19mm Century Sainik BWP 710 Marine Plywood on HomeRun to get a precise cost for your project.
Option B: HDHMR (High-Density High Moisture Resistant Board)
HDHMR boards — like Action Tesa HDHMR — are engineered boards designed specifically for the Indian climate. They're denser than standard MDF, termite-resistant, and highly moisture-resistant, making them a compelling alternative for wardrobe carcasses. You can check today's Action Tesa board prices in Bangalore to compare costs directly.
- HDHMR Raw Board (Action Tesa): ₹60–₹130 per sq ft
- HDHMR Pre-laminated: ₹105–₹160 per sq ft
HDHMR boards offer a lifespan of 15–20 years with excellent dimensional stability, while BWP marine plywood can exceed 50 years but at a premium cost. For most wardrobes, HDHMR or MR-grade plywood hits the sweet spot between cost and performance.
Quick Reference: Carcass Board Price Comparison
| Material | Price (per sq ft) | Lifespan | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| MR Grade Plywood (Century Sainik, Greenply Ecotec) | ₹45–₹75 | 10–15 years | Economy to Mid-Range builds |
| BWP Marine Plywood (Century Sainik, Greenply Gold) | ₹90–₹180 | 50+ years | Premium builds |
| HDHMR Raw (Action Tesa) | ₹60–₹130 | 15–20 years | Mid-Range builds |
| HDHMR Pre-laminated (Action Tesa) | ₹105–₹160 | 15–20 years | Mid-Range to Premium builds |
Part 2: The Fittings — Per-Unit Price Ranges
This is where the wardrobe fittings price list gets granular. Every hinge, channel, and rail adds up — and knowing unit prices puts you in control.
Hinges (For Swing Doors)
Hinges are one of the most-used components in any wardrobe. Every shutter needs at least 2–3 hinges, and quality here directly affects how your doors feel and last.
- Economy — Ebco Slip On EURO (Regular Close): ~₹61 for a set of 2. Gets the job done, clicks shut, no frills.
- Mid-Range — Hettich Onsys 4447i (Soft Close): ~₹200–₹250 per set of 2. Soft damping prevents slamming.
- Premium — Hettich Sensys 8645i (Soft Close): ~₹476 per set of 2. Hettich's flagship concealed hinge with integrated soft-close — whisper-quiet, zero-slam, and built to last.
For a wardrobe with 4 shutters needing 3 hinges each, that's 12 hinges total — which means ₹366 at Economy vs. ₹2,856 at Premium, just for hinges.
Drawer Channels / Telescopic Runners
Every drawer needs a pair of channels. The difference between regular-close and soft-close telescopic channels is the difference between drawers that bang shut and drawers that glide.
- Economy — Ebco STDS-I (Regular Close Telescopic): ~₹178 for a 250mm pair
- Mid-Range — Hettich KA 4732 (Soft Close Telescopic): ~₹582 for a 250mm pair
- Premium — Hettich AvanTech / InnoTech Tandem Box Systems: Complete drawer systems with integrated sides, full extension, and silent soft-close. These are the gold standard for premium wardrobe drawers — full pricing available on HomeRun's hardware collection.
Wardrobe Rails (Hanging Space)
The hanging rail is often overlooked but carries the weight of your clothes daily.
- Hettich Oval Cabinet Rail 2000mm (Chrome): ₹200–₹400
- Ebco Wardrobe Rail Bracket MS: ~₹31 each (you'll need one at each end, plus one mid-span support for longer rails)
Handles
- Ebco Aluminium Profile Shutter Handle 1935: Sleek, modern profile handle. Prices vary by length — check HomeRun's hardware collection for current pricing.
Locks (Cupboard & Drawer)
- Basic cupboard/drawer locks from brands like Europa start from ~₹150 per unit. For premium security, Europa's 14-pin dimple key systems offer superior pick resistance.
Sliding Door Systems
If you're building a sliding wardrobe instead of swing doors, the mechanism is a significant cost item — but it eliminates hinge costs entirely.
- Ebco Hi Slide 50 Reversible Sliding Mechanism (Soft Close): ~₹4,378 per set. This is a premium, reversible soft-close system that handles heavy shutters smoothly.
Optional Accessories (Premium Wardrobe Upgrades)
- Hettich Cargo Tie & Belt Pull-Out: ~₹5,568
- Ebco Pullout Ironing Board: ~₹7,327
- Hettich Cargo Dish Drainer / Bottle Pull-Outs: Available via HomeRun's kitchen systems collection
Build Your Budget: Three Tiers for Every Bangalore Home
Now that you have per-unit costs, here's how the full hardware budget looks when you roll it all up into three realistic tiers for a standard 6–8 ft wide wardrobe with 4 shutters and 3–4 drawers.
🟢 Tier 1: Economy Build — ₹8,000–₹15,000 in Hardware
Best for: Rental properties, secondary bedrooms, or projects with a tight budget.
| Component | Product | Approx. Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Carcass Board | Century Sainik MR Grade Plywood | ₹45–₹75/sq ft |
| Hinges (12 nos) | Ebco Slip On EURO Regular Close | ~₹366 (6 sets × ₹61) |
| Channels (4 pairs) | Ebco STDS-I Regular Close Telescopic | ~₹712 (4 × ₹178) |
| Wardrobe Rail | Ebco Oval Rail + Brackets | ~₹350 |
| Handles | Basic pull handles | ~₹500–₹800 |
| Locks | Europa Cupboard Lock | ~₹450 (3 nos) |
| Total Hardware Estimate | ~₹8,000–₹15,000 |
This tier uses functional, entry-level hardware. Regular-close hinges and standard telescopic channels work fine — just don't expect the smooth, silent glide of soft-close systems.
🔵 Tier 2: Mid-Range Build — ₹15,000–₹25,000 in Hardware
Best for: Most Bangalore homeowners — the sweet spot of durability, smooth functionality, and long-term value.
| Component | Product | Approx. Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Carcass Board | Greenply Ecotec BWP Marine or Action Tesa HDHMR | ₹65–₹130/sq ft |
| Hinges (12 nos) | Hettich Onsys 4447i Soft Close | ~₹1,200–₹1,500 |
| Channels (4 pairs) | Hettich KA 4732 Soft Close Telescopic | ~₹2,328 (4 × ₹582) |
| Wardrobe Rail | Hettich Oval Cabinet Rail 2000mm Chrome | ~₹350–₹500 |
| Handles | Ebco Aluminium Profile Handle | ~₹1,200–₹2,000 |
| Locks | Europa Cupboard/Drawer Locks | ~₹600 |
| Total Hardware Estimate | ~₹15,000–₹25,000 |
The upgrade to Hettich soft-close hinges and telescopic channels is noticeable every single day. Drawers glide, doors close silently, and the wardrobe feels significantly more premium — without needing to spend premium prices across the board.
This is the tier most carpenters in Bangalore recommend for homeowners who are staying long-term in their homes.
🟡 Tier 3: Premium Build — ₹25,000–₹45,000+ in Hardware
Best for: Master bedrooms, luxury interiors, and anyone who wants best-in-class durability and that five-star hotel wardrobe feel.
| Component | Product | Approx. Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Carcass Board | Century Club Prime BWP Marine Plywood | ₹120–₹180/sq ft |
| Hinges (12 nos) | Hettich Sensys 8645i Soft Close | ~₹2,856 (6 sets × ₹476) |
| Drawer Systems | Hettich AvanTech Tandem Boxes | ~₹6,000–₹10,000 |
| Sliding Mechanism | Ebco Hi Slide 50 Reversible Soft Close | ~₹4,378 |
| Wardrobe Rail | Hettich Oval Cabinet Rail + Ebco Brackets | ~₹500 |
| Handles | Ebco Aluminium Profile (premium length) | ~₹2,000–₹3,500 |
| Locks | Europa Jemmy Proof/14-pin Dimple Key | ~₹1,200 |
| Optional Accessories | Hettich Pull-Outs, Ebco Ironing Board | ₹5,000–₹13,000 |
| Total Hardware Estimate | ~₹25,000–₹45,000+ |
The Hettich Sensys hinge is Hettich's top-of-the-line concealed hinge with an integrated damper built into the arm itself — it's what you'll find in high-end European kitchens and wardrobes. Pair it with AvanTech tandem boxes (full-extension drawer systems with push-to-open capability) and the Ebco Hi Slide soft-close sliding mechanism, and you have a wardrobe that will outlast the apartment it's built in.
A note on durability: As one homeowner shared on Reddit, "Couple of Hettich stuff had to be replaced in my home already in 5 years." — this is typically the result of lower-tier Hettich products or improper installation, not a flaw with the brand itself. Specifying Sensys or AvanTech explicitly (rather than letting a contractor choose) ensures you're getting the durability you're paying for.
The Smarter Way to Source Wardrobe Materials in Bangalore
Once you have your bill of materials, the traditional procurement path kicks in: drive to Chickpet or SP Road, visit a timber yard for plywood, a separate hardware shop for Hettich fittings, another for handles and locks, haggle at each stop, and hope everything arrives at your site before your carpenter moves on to the next job.
That's where projects get stuck. A missing set of hinges or the wrong channel size means a day of idle workers — and as anyone who's managed a carpentry project knows, idle time on site is money burning.
HomeRun is built specifically to solve this problem. It's Bangalore's quick commerce platform for construction and interior materials — think Blinkit, but for plywood, hardware, adhesives, and fittings — with 60-minute delivery across 105+ Bangalore pin codes, from Whitefield and Marathahalli to Jayanagar, Hebbal, and Rajajinagar.
For a wardrobe build specifically, HomeRun stocks everything in one place:
- Carcass board: Genuine Century Sainik MR and BWP Marine Plywood, Greenply Ecotec and Gold, and Action Tesa HDHMR boards — all ISI-certified, sourced from authorized dealers.

- Door locks: Europa and Godrej cupboard and drawer locks.
All products are 100% genuine — sourced exclusively from authorized dealers with proper warranties. In a market where counterfeit plywood and fake Hettich hardware are a real problem, this matters. You're not guessing whether the hinge branded "Hettich" on a local shelf is the real thing.
And there's no minimum order. Whether you need a single set of hinges or a full truckload of plywood, HomeRun delivers. Open 8am–8pm, every day.
Your Wardrobe Budget, Demystified
Here's the honest truth: "You can either save time and effort or you can save money. It's not possible to save both" — that's the conventional wisdom on Bangalore's interior forums. This guide exists to disprove it.
When you know exactly what a Hettich Sensys hinge costs (₹476 for a set of 2) versus an Ebco Euro (₹61), you can have a real conversation with your carpenter. When you know the difference between MR-grade and BWP marine plywood, you can make an informed choice rather than accepting whatever gets ordered. And when you can get every material delivered to your site in 60 minutes without visiting five different shops, you've saved both time and money.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a reasonable total cost for a wardrobe in Bangalore, including labor?
A reasonable total cost for a standard 8x7 ft wardrobe in Bangalore can range from ₹70,000 to ₹2,50,000+, depending on materials and finishes. This cost is typically split with about 40-50% for materials (plywood, fittings), 40-50% for labor, and 10% for finishes like laminates and edge banding. Using the hardware budgets in this guide (₹8,000 to ₹45,000+), you can better estimate your final quote.
Which material is better for wardrobe carcasses in Bangalore: Plywood or HDHMR?
Both are excellent choices, but they serve different priorities. BWP 710 Marine Plywood offers the best long-term durability (50+ years) and moisture resistance, making it ideal for premium, long-haul builds. Action Tesa HDHMR provides excellent moisture and termite resistance for 15-20 years at a more moderate price point, making it the best value-for-money option for most Bangalore homes.
Why do interior designer quotes for wardrobes seem so high?
Interior designer quotes often seem high because they bundle material costs, labor, design fees, project management, and their profit margin into a single figure. A ₹20 lakh quote that doubles with branded materials, as mentioned in the article, often includes significant markups on those branded items. By understanding the component-level prices in this guide, you can identify where costs are being inflated.
What are the most critical wardrobe fittings to invest in for long-term durability?
The most critical fittings to invest in are the ones that bear weight and are used daily: hinges and drawer channels. Opting for soft-close hinges from brands like Hettich (e.g., Onsys or Sensys) and soft-close telescopic channels (e.g., Hettich KA 4732) will significantly improve the user experience and lifespan of your wardrobe, preventing wear and tear from slamming doors and drawers.
How can I verify that I'm getting genuine branded materials like Century Plywood or Hettich fittings?
To ensure authenticity, always buy from authorized dealers or trusted platforms. Genuine Century Plywood will have the CML number printed on the side, and authentic Hettich products have distinct branding and build quality. Sourcing from a platform like HomeRun, which works exclusively with authorized dealers, eliminates the risk of counterfeit materials common in local, unorganized markets.
How much do wardrobe finishes like laminates add to the cost?
Finishes are a significant variable. Basic laminates can add ₹1,500 - ₹2,500 per 8x4 ft sheet to your cost. However, premium finishes like high-gloss, acrylic, or veneers can be substantially more expensive, sometimes costing as much as the carcass board itself. Always factor in the cost of laminates, edge banding, and the labor to apply them when budgeting.
Can I mix and match hardware from different brands or price tiers?
Yes, absolutely. This is a smart way to optimize your budget. For example, you could use premium Hettich Sensys soft-close hinges on frequently used main shutters, mid-range Hettich soft-close channels for drawers, and economy Ebco hinges for less-used overhead cabinets. This allows you to allocate your budget to the components where you'll feel the quality the most.
