New Age Performance Plus Series

mbolek · Apr 1, 2014

Hello All,

I have been looking at my options for our next set of garage storage/cabinets.

Lots of great info on this forum and appreciate all the great posts.

Any feedback on the New Age Performance gear? Looks like a new option for them.

Thx.

Are you a distributor?

TheWhiteMamba · Apr 1, 2014

Yea I don't know if this was just a way of getting the info out there for free without raising too many eyebrows (mainly based on this being your first post) but I haven't seen this line from NewAge before so they have to be BRAND new.

They do look pretty slick, albeit New Age is pretty proud of their cabinets and charge a pretty penny for them. I've found their wall mounted top cabinets (Pro) to be very strong and much better than any Gladiator cabinet at about the same price point. Their tall cabinets though I couldn't justify paying 2.5x as much for the same amount of storage space as Gladiator offered, but after having to make 3 return trips with busted up Gladiator cabinets, I might have ponied up the dough. Live and Learn.

No. Not a distributor.

I reached out to John from Shop Storage Cabinets to get more info on the product.

I've been looking at the Saber cabinets when I stumbled across this line.

Regards,

Marty

Got my NewAge cabinets from BJ's.... less money. I really like them though.

Jbizzle · Apr 1, 2014

Wow! Those are nice! I have the NewAge Pro series. I like them but those performance plus are awesome! Wonder what I have to do to get my wife to let me get those...

alberto · Apr 1, 2014

Anyone know the gauge of these? I could not find it in the link, perhaps I missed it. Wish it came in more colors.

mbolek · Apr 3, 2014

Performance Plus = 20awg

Performance = 24awg

I'll post my feedback next week. Ordered a couple pieces from Home Depot.

Hi guys.
While I just joined the board this week, I don't have any affiliation to newAge.
I ordered a set of these earlier this week.
No firm delivery date but I will post pics once they show up.

Well then, I'm sure you non-distributor types wouldn't mind us posting up all the positive experiences with non-New-Age cabinetry.

That Speed Triple looks great in that marketing material BTW.

In all honesty, they look pretty nice. How expensive are they though?

Well then, it seems the versions are:

Pro Series: 18 gauge

Performance Plus: 20awg

Bold Diamond Plate Series: 23 gauge

Performance Series: 24awg

Bold Series: 24 gauge

RTA Series: 24 gauge

OldDominionB · Apr 11, 2014

Well after a week of the vendor only telling me that I have a two week delivery window, I cancelled my order.
Time to go another route.

John - I sent you a PM

Home Depot has the wall systems on special sale right now.

I just got approval from the wife to order it up! I'm ordering the black 156" system. Hopefully they will be nice when I get them!

68rustang · Apr 13, 2014

IMHO At only 18" deep they aren't worth it.

Vegaman_Dan · Apr 14, 2014

The doors are steel, but no mention of the cabinet carcass is mentioned. Are they steel as well or are they a wood filler product with a laminate surface?

I'd also like to see a picture with the cabinet doors open.

mbolek · Apr 14, 2014

I'm still waiting on the items I ordered from HD.

I'll post some pics once I get them.

All depends on how you use them. I have enough 18" open shelving in my garage and I don't like it. Would 24" be better? Probably. But then again, they cost a bunch more too. I'll post up when I get them.

TRWTOW · Apr 15, 2014

ive had new age cabinets over a year great so far seem heavy duty I have the pro series little heavier guage steel pics in my build thread

goldenboy9r · Apr 20, 2014

Looking into these as well. 1500 at HD for a nice set

goldenboy9r · Apr 20, 2014

That's still over 6'.
Mine are sitting with the delivery place. They'll be at the house this coming Friday. If I weren't away for business last week, I would have them by now.

nosnerd · Apr 21, 2014

1500 I believe is a good price.. but only once I go touchy-feely with it .

not sure about the 18" either......

mbolek · Apr 21, 2014

Guys,

Here are some pics. The all blue cabinet is from Saber.

Performance Plus in blue
Performance in black.

Paint finish on the Plus is pretty nice. The Performance line is definitely a flat finish.

The hinge/piston on the upper is pretty good quality. Although, it is not soft close.

The cabinet is big. Lots of space, they do have soft close hinges.

Big difference between the two versions as far as thickness, weight and potential durability.

I have ordered an 11 piece Performance Plus set from one of NewAge's online re-sellers.

Happy to answer any additional questions if I can.

Marty

TJG · Apr 25, 2014

I have a Pro series set. So far I really like them, although I haven't gotten much use yet. I also looked at Saber and opted for the NewAge products. I'll try to update my build thread with some pictures.

michaelwoodcock · Apr 26, 2014

looking at getting a cabinet set from new age. I will store lots of automotive tools and parts. Do you guys suppose the gauge of the performance plus line will be enough for me or should I go a size up to the pro series? I do want my investment to last me the next 50 years let me know what you think

mbolek · Apr 28, 2014

I would say that the Pro series may suit you better for the heavy duty automotive parts. The Performance Plus is pretty solid but I'm not planning to store anything real heavy.

My buddy has the Whalen racks (Costco) for all his car stuff.

goldenboy9r · Apr 28, 2014

Just dropped the dime on the Pro series. I could have gotten Performance or Bold for half the cost, but 24ga was scaring me. Plus the width of the workbench would go from 24" to 18". Hope its worth it...

dittle fart around · Jun 3, 2014

NewAge told me last week they were going to open the Performance line to the rest of the distributors. I'll have them by the end of the month. Most of the big guys sell sets only and get better pricing than I do. If you want an additional cabinet or two they won't have them.

If you're looking to buy cabinets that fits your space I'm giving the same deal that NewAge gives me on pricing. 15% off individual cabinet orders over 1000 bucks and 20% off orders over 3000 bucks.
