An agent for change in a dynamic and creative industry.



Welcome and thank you for visiting Cornerstone, a Division of Richelieu America Ltd. Cornerstone was founded in 1988, and Richelieu Hardware acquired it in 2015. Our philosophy has been based on three core principles: customer service, product selection, and integrity . We believe these three principles influence the success of a business more than anything else.

We are an importer, distributor and manufacturer of specialty hardware and complementary products.

Our customers -- More than 90,000 customers in North America: kitchen and bathroom cabinet, storage and closet, home furnishing and office furniture manufacturers, residential and commercial woodworkers, and hardware retailers including renovation superstores.

Our team -- Over 2,200 people, close to half of whom work in marketing, sales and customer service, more than 50% of whom are Richelieu shareholders.

Our product -- Over 130,000 products (SKUs) in a wide variety of categories including: furniture, glass and building decorative and functional hardware, lighting systems, finishing and decorating products, ergonomic workstation components, kitchen and closet storage solutions, sliding door systems, decorative and functional panels, high-pressure laminates and floor protection products.  This offering is complemented by the specialty items manufactured by two of our subsidiaries, Cedan Industries Inc. and Menuiserie des Pins Ltd. These include a broad range of veneer sheets and edge banding products, a variety of decorative moldings and components for the window and door industry. In addition, many of our products are manufactured according to our specifications and those of our customers. More than 60% of our overall offering is sold under our brands.

Our network -- 
84 centers across North America including two manufacturing plants.
