stain match for cabinets

[retiredncolorado]

I would like to build some additional cabinetry in my 2016 Siesta with High Gloss Glazed Monterey maple cabinets.

I called Thor and asked if they knew where I might find matching stain, and they did not have any idea.

I am hopeful someone here has found a way to match the Monterey maple stain and provide some directions on what you have used. Also, I am not sure what variety of wood they used in the build.

Thanks for any assistance

Try someone else, we got the match for the Glossed Cherry Wood in the Tuscany from Thor to fix a tiny scratch

Almost any place that sells stain has sample boards.
Have you ever built cabinets before?

They're a pretty tricky build to get a handmade match to a factory made door.

Take a cabinet door to Home Depot for matching.

I am not adding new cabinets, only modifying half of an existing wardrobe that has hanging clothes to shelves. I want to make sure that when you open the door to the wardrobe the shelves look as close to original as possible.

Thanks for the responses. In reality close is probably good enough for the match. I am probably overthinking how good the match needs to be.

Taking a door to Home Depot or Lowes will be my next step.
Thanks

I've used Sherwin Williams with very good results for stain and paint. Have to do a test board for getting stain to match. Depends on how long you leave it on.

I built new bedroom cabinets by the bed in my Challenger. I kept trying stains on small pieces of oak until it was close, then I mixed them. Back then everything was oak, that was easier.
